power of habbits
yes, habbits are good because of the fact you're actually going it everyday. atomic habits blah blah blah.
but, I recently, been thinking about my effort as a amount of use everyday. some context is that recently I've trying to get better in different hobbies, skools, and my own project. whenever I try to work on my project I always end up feeling totally drain. so drained that I don't end up working on my project. i can totally continue but I guess the grit/resistence is too high for me to continue.
i wake up at 7, daily readings, school work such as reading/watching lecture, go gym, go lectures, and come back with no energy left. though, I can power through I just can tell my mental is totally dumpsters. it's either I chill the rest of the day or I can get back on my feet and continue through the pain.
this is where I believe what people mean by grit to power through the pain. but, man it's just not the way I want to live my life. yes, it sounds like I'm being weak cause I am. but, if I'm doing stuff I enjoy should I do it with less grit and with more joy? there has to be solution where I can enjoy the the work I like and progress with better results over time.
although I haven't come to the conclusion to my own answer. i found another reason why habits are an amazing tool. when first starting to form habits, they take an enormous amount of energy. like starting the gym, the starting/going to the gym is the hardest part. but, but you end up going and keep going as a habit it's not to bad from experience. the continuation of a habit only takes a low amount of effort to continue. whereas, the start is painful.
So, I guess my semi solution to be better at multiple things a day is habbiting the energy draining task. This makes it so I gain the value from it and my effort bar still remains full. Min-max this activity to have enough effort to focus on the more important tasks.
For my life, the hardest part is the effort spent between school and my project. I really like the idea but it's just so tiring to do school and this project at once. man, I actually have no grit. Pherhaps, I just need grit then this energy bar stuff. Maybe, if I spent less time on this platform blogging random stuff on my mind I could get more work done. dang.
