Turn your focus to your micro routines. Ask yourself, “If this is what I am aiming for, how does that instantiate itself day-to-day, week-to-week, month-to-month?” This is where a schedule can be unbelievably useful.
You need to make a damn schedule and stick to it. But what is the rule with the schedule? It is not a bloody prison. That is the first thing people think that is wrong.
If you think, “I do not like following a schedule,” then ask yourself what kind of schedule you are setting up. For example, you might say, “In my schedule I have to do this, then I have to do this, then I have to do this.” You will go play video games because who wants to do all these things you have to do?
This is wrong! Set the damn schedule up so that you have the day you want. That is the trick. You can think, “OK, I have tomorrow. If I was going to set it up so it was the best possible day I could have — practically speaking — what would it look like?”
Well, then you schedule that.
