“If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it's not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever.”
- H.H. Dalai Lama


Perfection is cancer, just fucking wing it.
(A C+ is literally better than whatever fuck extreme procrastination/overworrying/nearly failing out of college bullshit you do.)

No one is coming. No one is coming to tell you what to do.

Everything will be okay- trust the soup. Disconnect from the internet for a bit.

Act immediately - Don't even allow 1 second of worry or analysis or planning.

Start sloppy & Find what's the next, smallest, actionable step, and just do that, right now.
e.g. This essay is so hard... Okay. I'm focused on writing the first sentence. Just the first sentence. Can't fail here.

Be present, stop thinking about the future or past.
Oh? That kid bullied you at age 10 - oh you need a hug my sweet young boy - Shut the fuck up - self-pity and blame is a waste of energy. We are living in the present, the past literally does not exist.

Nothing you've ever done makes you a bad person. You were the product of your environment. Be vulnerable. You are inherently worth it as a human being no matter what you think or do.

Make a designated/scheduled worrying time. So you don't worry now, it's not time yet. Contract all the pain into just 1 hour a day, instead of worrying 24/7.
(CBT Technique)

Take the steps to do what you should do. After that, overthinking or worrying is akin to retardation, like suffering hundreds of times again and again over one thing unnecessarily.

You can worry, and try to do work while suffering- or you can worry less, and do work while minimizing your suffering. Nothing changes about your uncontrollable external circumstances in either choice.

"Again, you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life."
- Alexandr Wang, Steve Jobs

Work like fucking hell. 10+ hours a day. 7 days a week. 💪

"Shhh.." your mind in every moment... when walking, when using PC, when in class, even when laying in bed reading emails... Just "Shhh.." - yeah, it feels good to not have a noisy brain.

There is a force within you that tries to stop you from taking action when it doesn't 'feel right, right now'. And you have to ACTIVELY ignore it.

"The problem is not thoughts themselves but the state of thinking without knowing that we are thinking."
- Sam Harris


You're worth it. Keep going dude. You got this.

Be unreasonable, unrealistic and seemingly full blown stupid and obssesed-
Still try and do idiotic things like stay up 72hrs to learn BASIC- even if people think it's stupid.

Take tiny, wobbly, baby steps towards action. I made so much more progress in one year by doing a few small things consistently than I did in 20 years of overthinking and massive to-do lists.

You don't have to get it perfect, you just have to get it going. Babies don't walk the first time they try- but eventually they get it right.

So say it. So do it. You want to indulge in that cancerous action? So do it. Just do it then- since you want to so badly.

The default assumption that "this is of importance" is why you suffer. Literally no one cares what you do or who you even are. Especially walking fucking outside.

"Fuck you brain/mind/rational part, come and kill me, but you're not gonna control me. I'm focusing on doing a task, and solely doing a task, and you're gonna fuck off since you're wasting my life. Come and kill me if you want to stop me."
- Kanye West


When feeling tired/non-energetic: Tell your brain, energy level gauge, body, blood sugar, hormones to go fuck itself. I'm still going to do work and you're gonna be my bitch and won't dictate what I should do. I eventually will dictate you and not the other way around.

Just be tired. Instead of hating yourself for being tired and unproductive today, just be tired.


Lastly - no amount of 'google searches' or 'productivity advice' or 'self-help' books will change your life. You just have to do it and stop wasting time & expecting a book to solve your issues.
Miracles don't happen, hard work happens.
