it is a very simple tool only takes 30 mins to know how to use the whole platform more or less. good luck with it



hmm now that does not sound productive sir 🤮

Yeah I’m bad at starting projects but once I get going I can fly through them most of the time quicker than someone else it’s just those first few steps

well, maybe you should look into environment design then. make your environment conducive to getting started on whatever you wish to pursue when you sit down in your home office or whatnot

well as quoted from Atomic Habits: make it as easy as possible to have good habits and as hard as possible to keep bad ones

I’ll have to keep that in mind, I’ve been making big changes in my life.

yup, the human brain is wired to do what is easiest. so if you structure your life so the positive things are easier then you are much more likely to do them instead

The most important thing for me is defining clearly what targets have to be achieved, target importance and time frame to be achieved.

Then I classify them by priorities, so that I can immediately distinguish urgent tasks from non-urgent ones, important tasks from secondary ones.

Once this has been done I focus on important tasks that have to be achieved immediately (A) then move to urgent secondary (B) and finally think about non-urgent important © and non-urgent secondary (D).

There's a model for this, technically level D tasks should be demanded to other people, level A tasks should be done personally, level B/C are in the middle.

I guess for me it's the stress of growing old and not having achieved anything in life. I used to rely on motivation but just having good discipline is better

that's a good approach. delegation is always important

Absolutely, a common error made by managers / entrepreneurs is thinking that they can handle everything personally. Experience teaches it's wrong.

Managers value can also be recognized by the people they put in the middle to complete/check tasks.

Ive also debated the previous guy selling the account, coz he used to push outsourced crap from this acc all day. And now youre just chilling in lounge. Hmm.....

being hurtful is not the same as being racist for one. i never personally attacked anyone and am overall respectful of other human beings. no one has the right to not be offended.

i don't know what you are referring to with someone selling an account or whatnot so don't have any comment on it. i don't know what you define as "just chilling in lounge" but yes i have been more active in lounge lately when i wish to relax and otherwise have some friendly debates. this is not to say i do not do a good amount of business on HF, i do. It is still my main reason for being on the site.

if you wish to reference any specific statement i have made that you found negative in some way and form feel free to do so and i will be happy to look it over and give my feedback on it
