  The worst thing about being a serial procrastinator is that there&apos;s very little you can do to stop things from falling apart when life finally catches up to you. Seeking support is the best thing you can do when this happens. If or when you feel guilty about not doing those things before, remember that you can think about that and feel bad later lol

  His version of &quot;&apos;focusing on the journey rather than the finish line&apos;&apos; by saying that we don&apos;t enjoy songs by how long they go on for, we enjoy them while we play them &quot;&apos; gives me a more clear understanding than the former because i can now relate it better.

  I’m on week 1,766. I now have the job I used to dream about and yet I’m still not content. Society is constantly telling us to never be satisfied. Staying present and practicing gratitude takes a lot of work. It’s videos like this that help bring it back. Thanks.

  Beautiful. Like Marcus Aurelius said:<br>«Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now, take what&apos;s left and live properly. What doesn&apos;t transmit light creates its own darkness»<br>Thank you! I believe you doing a truly important work, spreading ideas that can change lives!

  The tragic of being a human comes from the hubris and contempt when one considers its own way of coping with life as definitive and morally superior and it’s willingness to assault whoever think differently.

  To me I feel like productivity is an illusion, even if I do get everything done, I often feel woefully unsatisfied with myself. It is also why it is easy to procrastinate to me, because the meaninglessness of the so called reward is equivalent towards complacency

  4,000 weeks is not alot of time in a grand scheme of things. Crazy to think that you aren&apos;t even guaranteed that time.
