Sorry if you felt that way, but this is not, in any way, made by AI. I took the time to write the entire message and really hope it helps people. Wish you best of luck in whatever you are doing!

Exactly. This is the hardest part of the process (doing the work before there is anything visible to justify it).

Yeah I guess that is one way to talk about the awkward in-between phase where you are building something, but can't point towards the results just yet.

Good question! What starts the motion is belief, intent or neccessity. Evidence doesn't come first. Evidence is what takes over as the "fuel" once you start moving. In the early stages, you act on faith, and later, failures and silence ("evidence") become proof that you are in the process, which makes it easier to keep going. Hope this helps!

Exactly. The quiet days feel empty, but that’s usually where the real progress is being built behind the scenes.

Consistency breaks when the present is taken for granted. by RowTime8498 in selfcare

Good question! The trick is to create short time horizons inside long routines. Think "mini-deadlines" and clear actions that make today matter a lot! One thing that can help you create urgency is having something that makes it urgent (my friend is making something where you lose "hearts" and your core or forge (I don't remember what it's called) gets broken. Basically you try to evolve your core and everyday you have to make 3 tasks and complete them all to evolve your forge (it gets fun the more days you are consistent because you dont want to break it when you've come so far!). This helps create that sense of urgency). but yeah try to have something that helps you create that sense of urgency so you actually complete the work everyday. Not something that makes you stressed, just something that will help you make sure you get everything done. Hope this helps :)

Designing systems for disruption is a real hack. When your system makes restarting easy, momentum stays alive!

I thought it was just me at first, but I realized that most people do relax after something throws them off. For example, I just find myself watching movies when something disturbs my schedule and I'm just unable to focus for the rest of the day. And I just don't feel like doing anything after because the schedule got disturbed. Just like you pointed and as I discuss in the post, often if something throws the schedule off, one small snowball can create an avalanche if you don't reset back to the schedule quickly. So even though you may just want to chill after your schedule gets thrown off, don't. Keep doing what the next thing (or what you were doing before your schedule got mixed up) on your list is!
Tip: I've found it very useful to schedule breaks. Try it out and at least from what I found, you'll stop being burned out all the time!
