spent years collecting productivity advice and did basically none of it

i've got like 40 books on habits and discipline. could probably teach a course on it at this point. and for most of my 30s I did almost none of what they told me to.

took me too long to realize the knowing was never the problem. I knew. everyone knows. drink water, sleep, move, stop scrolling. nobody's actually confused about the what. That is also the part that makes it frustrating endlessy checkin instagram about motivation excetera while feeling guilty for not doing it.

the thing that moved the needle was just a simple post-it on my fridge with doing stuff like read for 20 minutes, meditate 30 minutes, don't eat crap. For some reason i really did it, because it felt rewarding

The other things is things do move straight up, atleast not for me. It is still not perfect but atleast it has become a sort of habit

curious if anyone else here is a recovering advice collector or if that's just me
