Hi Tommy, I just tuned in to watch your Amazon Flex video as I’m looking for earning extra money with driving ( looks like Flex is dead for now as they are not accepting applications via the app ) anyway I also watched this video and you sound a lot like myself. To keep it short, I also have the nice things in life and my own business etc but want more and have a long list of things I know I need to do to reach these goals but lack the focus to get things done. I can start something, get distracted move onto something else then get bored and end up procrastinating which leads to feeling angry and frustrated with myself. I wonder if you may have a form of ADHD which I was recently diagnosed with. You can search the internet and take a test yourself online and if the results point toward that being the case you can contact your GP. It’s nothing to worry about and you will get help to improve focus etc. Cheers Paul
Could the time of year like cold weather, getting dark early have a inpack? I just find I've got so much get up and go when weather is warmer and lighter evenings!
Have you tried the 5-minute rule? The idea is to start a task with no pressure to complete it-just commit to working on it for five minutes. This approach can sometimes trick your brain into overcoming mental blocks and building momentum. I guess, its effectiveness depends on the underlying cause of the block, but it’s worth giving a try
hmm interesting. I've tried the 3-2-1 method where you don't give your brain time to think before starting a task, but never tried the 5 minute rule. will give it a try. thank you
Good old lazyness, i know it well. I once had a personal trainer and they told me, your issue is you don't have a good enough 'why' which is the reason you are doing things, its the punch that gets you out of bed everyday etc and they are right I don't, I need to go be more healthy just like you, learn new things, improve my prospects, but I'm very often meh I just don't want to when it comes down to it. Good luck finding your motivation and why.
I think we are too comfortable, and that limits us. In the depth of our subconscious we know that we don't really have to do anything more and life will be good anyway. Job, wife, house.. all the bases are covered. Other than a shock, try reducing entertainment as much as possible, including social media. Boredom breeds motivation in my experience.
I wanted to be a TH-camr until I realised how much I actually don’t like making my own content. I prefer making other peoples content. There might be a reason why you aren’t doing something is all I’m saying.
Brother I've been watching some of you're videos and the youtube algorithm showed me this one. After listening to you're story, my personal advice would be to look into the religion of Islam. It looks to me that you are lacking peace of mind with the procrastination issues you are facing. Honestly It will change you're life for the better. Do some research in Islam and make you're decision, no harm done. At the end of the day it's you're life choices but this is my opinion. Best wishes.
@tommywills @tommywills Waleykum Asalaam brother. MashaAllah that's really great to hear man honestly. I wish you the best in you're journey! Stay blessed my brother 🙂

Yea that’s a big factor on mood I find for loads of people
May sound silly but a good quality magnesium glycerinate vitamin’s tablets will help ur brain to become more focused daily
@@sianjones9406 got any recommendations?

think that's the nail on the head tbh
I would maybe write out things you want , and plan it out better. Get your friends to keep up to date with those plans.
No easy way out

comfort is the enemy of growth 100%

What you mean by the last bit?
@ it’s an authenticity thing. Sometimes we want to do things without actually wanting to do it.
I think it may be ADHD buddy 👍
damn...

Salaam brother. I am a revert since June 2023. On my own path with Islam. Thank you for your kind words and thought 🤲🏼
