Perfection

One of my teachers, Keith Cunningham, once said “Perfection is least standard, because it doesn’t exist. Everything worth trying is worth trying it poorly.” I guess I tapped into the the perfection trap a few days ago. When I started writing, I chose the simplest design, no graphics, nothing fancy, just to focus on writing, […]

Momentum

Once the big train is rolling, it’s almost impossible to stop. Well, yes, in my head that sounds very logical and I’m looking towards, that nothing stops my efforts. In reality, today was again a very busy day and I had to delay my writing for about 9 hours. And before I started writing this […]

Procrastination

Yeah, weekend is here. So, my usual schedule is not in place. I was busy the whole day, I couldn’t write at lunch time. I’m also still figuring out, if lunch time is the optimal writing time. About an hour ago, I came home and decided to start writing. But I had many open windows […]

Excuses

Once a teacher of mine said “All excuses are the same”. That was a hard punch for me back then, because I thought my excuses were always pretty great. Then hearing someone say that, made me rethink my whole excuses and complaints. They are worth exactly zero. Maybe at first someone is interested, why you […]

The second time

The first time is always the hardest. Right? Well, in my case, that’s not so. Definitely, the second time is harder for me. Looking back to a many I started, I threw myself into any situation and tried it. Most of the time, I came out of the situation quite well and the result was […]

Discipline

Jocko Willink says, discipline equals freedom. Whatever one wants to achieve, whether it’s a financial, physical or business goal, you can’t get there without discipline. Every goal requires a plan, a measurement and an execution. Without discipline, there’s no chance I will come even close to my goals. The other thing Jocko said was “If […]
