If you think that at this rate you will not achieve anything, I advise you to carefully look at a simple formula: 0.99 to the power of 365 = 0.03 0.01 to the power of 365 = 37.8 For some time these numbers hung in a frame above the desktop. By improving something by as little as 1% a day, you'll achieve a nearly 38-fold increase in efficiency in a year! Conversely, a seemingly imperceptible deterioration of 1% from day to day will quickly lead to disastrous results. For a year, the difference between "a little better" and "a little worse" is more than a thousand times! As you can see, the cumulative effect is both effective and dangerous. A lot depends on how you use it. Instead of setting yourself a high bar from the first day of habit formation, start small and gradually increase the complexity.

In line at the store, at the traffic lights, in the elevator, in the toilet... as soon as there is a certain pause, free space for thoughts, we stumble into the phone at the first opportunity, meaninglessly scrolling through social networks and checking mail ten times in a row. We seem afraid of being left alone with ourselves. We are afraid to be face to face with complex, deep, important questions that swarm in our heads. We slough them off, run away from them, fleeing from reflection by the incessant stream of multi-colored flashes of the screen.

Most of the achievements of mankind are the result of the ability to sacrifice the momentary "want".

Everyday behavior, consisting of hundreds of habits that have been formed throughout life, is a zone of our comfort and some (albeit suboptimal) balance. Even if this behavior is ultimately harmful, it is the norm for our brains. Any deviation from the norm causes resistance, no matter how good our intentions are. The more significant the changes we demand of ourselves, the greater the resistance.

You can achieve anything when you stop doing everything.

Productivity is directly connected not with what to do and what not to do.

Our mission, if it actually exists, will inevitably change in the course of life inasmuch as we absorb new skills, knowledge, experience.

The usefulness of planning is not to Tinker with a million things in record time, and to not lose yourself in the endless race for success.
