The trick is to push in the places most worth pushing. For example journaling, for me, is one of the most productive ways to work. As long as I can face things in my writing, I easily save 10x as much energy and effort by figuring things out, where I’m going, etc.
Y’all should read ‘The Jungle’. The main character tries to solve every problem this exact way, by doubling down and repeatedly telling himself, “I will work harder.”
Mild spoilers, but it doesn’t work out great for him until he finds socialism.
I have so many issues with this. I really do wish I could push myself harder. Everyone else is able to do stuff. I know I just need to work harder at things in life but I never seem to be able to.
