Instant gratification is what gives us a bad time whenever we are trying to do anything remotely difficult.
Trying to write everyday ? Fight staying in bed instead of getting up.
Trying to lose weight ? Fight the attraction of the bag of chips.
Trying to exercise ? Fight staying in your couch.
Trying to start a business ? Fight watching Youtube.
I want to find a way to fight successfully against instant gratifications. I guess creating habits help. So does creating artificial pains to the behavior.
I don’t yet have a solution, but that’s going to be one topic of research for me.
