Now I want to share with you one of my tips for getting yourself down to actually do the work and do the course, because we all know that life very often gets in the way of things.
Like I come home and I am so tired from work, I just want to collapse on the bed and watch my favorite TV series and maybe have snacks next to me and that's so tempting for every single one of us.
But we also know that it takes consistent work, consistently applying yourself before you can actually learn a skill or master something, so there's like these two things that are always fighting with each other in my head.
And one of the things that really helped me to be able to do more of the things that I want to do is to kind of like trick my brain.
I just to tell myself I am going to sit down and just going to do 20 minutes of study or work, whatever it is that is going to get me towards my goal.
And after the 20 minutes I am a free man, I can do whatever I want.
But, the point is, once you have actually sat down and you have gotten started, once you have done that 20 minutes, the momentum keeps you going.
There is so much inertia.
There's inertia getting started and there's inertia actually stopping, because if you are choosing to do this, then I bet that it's actually kind of fun for you.
Like once you are in it and once you are getting the code to do what you want it to do, there is joy in that.
And the most difficult part is just getting yourself to sit down and get started.
So try this trick next time when you feel like life is really overwhelming you and you are not getting any time to get into the course.
Just sit down for 20 minutes in the evening or in the morning and just tell yourself, I am only going to do 20 minutes.
If you end up doing more than 20 minutes then great.
But if you only do 20 minutes, that's still 20 minutes, right?
So have a go at this trick, and hope that can help you.
