In 2020, during the COVID-19 lockdowns, I became obsessed with self-improvement and productivity. Working from home made me realize just unhappy I was with my life. That a 2.5 hour commute everyday for a meager wage was contributing to the deep exhaustion I could feel in my bones. I wanted to change. I wanted to build the skills that would make working from home permanent.
In a flurry, I spent every free hour I had consuming any and all material that would help me become more efficient. That would give me the motivation to pursue my interests and sate my curiosity. But missing meals and sitting down at my desk for long hours took their toll on me. And when I saw no results, the knowledge that I learned slipping through the cracks of the floorboards of my mind, I knew I wasn’t doing something right.
Hindsight is 20/20. Before I could even begin to walk on the path towards excellence, I had to get my shit together. I had to get the basics down before I could evolve — before I could even sniff greatness. If you follow my steps, you can pursue excellence much faster than I did.
