If you’re procrastinating, you know, that’s only because whatever issue you’re facing right now, you’re not seeing that process for yourself you’re not seeing. So think of anything that you want to be doing. And this is really the trick to avoid procrastinating about anything at all. There’s actually two layers to it. One is you have to break everything down into a recipe. So think about it this way. Let’s say I’m having a chat with a friend. And I asked my friend, hey, I got chicken and I got some spaghetti. What can I make of it? And my friend, let’s say my friend is an experienced cook. And they’re like well, it’s really easy to make pasta with chicken in with a Bolognese sauce, something like that. And I was like, Yeah that sounds really interesting. But how? Now to me as somebody who doesn’t cook, that’s not an obvious thing. To my friend who does cook it is an obvious thing. It actually probably seems to my friend like the easiest thing in the world. So my friend says something like, oh, it’s really easy. You just take the pasta, you boil the pasta, and then you take the chicken and then you cut it and then you get some tomatoes, you squash them and you add some olive oil and you’re good. Now that’s how somebody who knows how to cook will talk to another person who knows how to cook, and they’ll be able to understand each other. Okay, but if that person knows how to cook and I don’t they say this and I was like, okay, but I still don’t know where to help. Am I starting? What am I doing? The instructions for someone like me? Who does not cook should be something like this. Okay, so follow my instructions. First, Do you have a big pot? Yes. Here’s a pot. Great. Now fill that pot with water. Okay, take the water into the sink. Okay, now put that pot on the stove. Good. Good. Now turn on the guests. Okay, make it really big. Make a big fire, Igor. So you make a fire. Okay, now let now time. I know 10 minutes for the water to start going like bubbles. You know? If you see water, you know what or go like with bubbles then you’re good. Okay, wait for the bubbles. Great. Now take the pack of spaghetti is okay, here it is. Okay, now I want you to unpack it and throw the spaghetti inside. Okay, great. Did that. Okay, now the spaghetti will take I don’t know five minutes to cook. So time is five minutes. Okay, your time fiber. You see. The difference is that the explanation that gets me out of my procrastination mode has very specific instructions. Go here. Do this. Take this prayer. Here, turn this on, set this timer, you know, go over there, open the fridge, close the fridge, get spaghetti, unpack spaghetti. And when you give someone these instructions, they stop procrastinating, they just get busy following instructions. Now if you ever get stuck with anything in life, that’s really how you should approach it, you should sit down and say, Well, I don’t have a recipe. So I need to make a recipe or I need to ask someone else to give me a recipe I can follow. Okay, and that’s how you overcome pretty much any procrastinate, you know, any procrastination, like, let’s say you’re struggling to lose weight. It’s the same thing. The difference between somebody who doesn’t go into the gym or is struggling to lose weight, and somebody who isn’t, is whoever isn’t struggling, they usually have a plan that they are following. They’ve been told, okay, Monday, here’s your meal plan breakfast, you have this dinner, you have this supper, you have this, then on Monday at 5pm, you go to the gym, you do three reps of this, and five reps of this, and six reps of this and whatever. So that’s what people pay tons of money to personal trainers because of that decision fatigue, right? They just come in, and they don’t want to think so the personal trainer will actually just tell you, Hey, go to this machine. And do go like that, you know, or go like that or go like that. And so you just like a robot, like an Android, you just go in and mindlessly execute. And there’s no procrastination there because you don’t have to think and then because there’s no decision fatigue for you. Plus, it’s kind of like a therapist, because, you know, while you’re doing the reps, you can complain about your life and whatnot.
