For most of us, the answer is yes. The scary part? We’re usually completely unaware of what’s actually holding us back. The fastest way to find out is brutally simple: Log everything you do in 5-minute increments for one day. No long essays. Just 1–2 words per line. Examples:
When I did this the first time, I was genuinely shocked. Out of a 2-hour block, only one activity was actually moving me toward my goals. Everything else was noise. I’m still a little scared to do it again… because I already know how bad it might look. But here’s the truth: You can’t fix what you don’t measure. Just the act of writing the log forces you to become conscious. Nobody wants to write “watch YT” for the 8th time in a row. Some tasks will take longer than 5 minutes — that’s fine. Just log them when you finish and note roughly how long they took. This single habit is one of the most powerful things you can do to build a systematic approach to reaching your goals. Give it a try tomorrow. You don’t have to show anyone the results. You’ll thank yourself later. Regards, P.S. This is one of those exercises where the discomfort is the whole point. The moment you feel resistance… that’s exactly when you know it’s working. |
