so i was looking for a scrap of paper to write some notes on today when i stumbled onto a notepad with these drawings in it:
First thing you'll notice is that i'm not very good at drawing but what you have there is a picture of a bow (archery) and a violin. took me a few page flips and a bit of thought to realize what i was looking at but what i had found was my set of goals that i had outlined just slightly over a year ago including poorly drawn pictures of the objects i wanted to own, the money i wanted to earn and save and the person i wanted to be. every single one of the goals in that notebook had been achieved with only the vaguest intention of pursuing them.
I've read a few books on goal setting and motivation but i truly believe that the trick to achieving goals is as easy as defining those goals and writing them down (probably doesn't hurt to do something about them every now and again).
The other trick i recently realized is time setting. I've spent my whole life saying i don't have time to do things, procrastinating and poorly planning my day, turns out all you need to get something done is just allocate the time to it.
If you say you are going to spend 30 minuets a day practicing juggling no matter what it's like 30 minuets is just magically added to the day, sure you might lose some sleep every now and again but shit gets done and you can sleep when you're dead anyway.
I know both those points are talked about in basically every $2 self help book on the market but actually seeing them in action is like i discovered the secret to the universe.
So escapists what special life hacks do you know that give you an edge in life?
