Most shit you hear will all be, how do i describe it.. like some older person with all the wisdom in the world.. saying, you have to be motivated, and passionate.. and bla bla bla.
No, you got it right, you need to get shit done. This is what you need to use:
Seriously, this saved me. You just work for 25 minutes, follow that timer, then take a 5 min break. Every 4 work sessions, you take a 10 min break. Once you get through the first 10 minutes, you hit "work state", and then your brain just flows and you won't stop working.
Also, if you want to make money.. you need to sell something, a service or a product, to someone that is a customer. That's all you need to know. So honestly, what are you good at? Everyone says it, but you need to start somewhere. So find out what your good at, then go advertise it on craigslist. If you have some money, then setup an Adwords account and run it there. If you want some more tips on that, PM me because actually that is what I do, I manage adwords accounts.
Anyway, if I keep going on, it's going to mesh to sound like all the other bullshit out there and it will start to go off your head and you won't care anymore. tomato timer son.. it works.
Came here to say this, but since you said it, I'm going to add something: Instead of a timer, you could use Tomato Timer. Time is already set (including short and long breaks), it is easy to use and the most important thing, I leave it on full-screen so every time I feel like checking reddit or facebook, it stops me from doing so.
Ugh, I'm the same way. A few tips that I use are:
-I have a "work laptop" and a "fun laptop". I'm lucky enough the work laptop is provided to me by work, but I think separating even a "study window" on your computer could help.
-I also use a timer method that gives me breaks. I don't always use the breaks, but knowing that I have them can help me get started. Here's a free one (www.tomato-timer.com)
Hope that helps!
I synced my calendar between pc (thunderbird) and mobile (google is your friend).
pomodoro-technique prevents you from hyperfocusing.
Exercise 3-5 times a week. Meditate daily. www.reddit.com/r/NoFap
If you think you can do it you can do it.
I do a little bit every day. So when I normally do 25 minutes of that book a day and I'm getting sick I do 3-5 minutes just so I don't kill the habit. When I want to add a new habit I start doing it 5 minutes on day 1 and then slowly go up 1 or 2 minutes every day.
Just don't get back to zero.
And although these habits are helping when I'm not taking meds everything falls apart. So the most important thing is the RIGHT medication and mindset.
