When Happiness Becomes The Way

November 26, 2019 No Comments

I’ll be happy when I make six figures. I’ll be happy when I have a partner. I’ll be happy when I move to a big city. I’ll be happy when I have a rich social life.

These are some of the things I used to think. Can you relate to that? It’s called conditional happiness. We all do it.

You can spot conditional happiness when you use “if” or “when.” X depends on Y. But what if X is an independent factor? What if X is not conditional?

You can replace X with any esoteric pursuit in life: Happiness, meaning, fulfillment, tranquility, inner peace, purpose—or any new age term people are using to explain that they simply want to be happy.

The purpose of this guide is twofold. First, I will define what procrastination is. Second, I share tested and proven ways to stop procrastinating.

Like my guide on improving productivity, this is a dynamic guide. I’ve been researching these concepts for 10+ years. I’ll continue to update this page as I find new ways to improve it. Feel free to bookmark this guide as a reference. I hope you find it useful.

How To Let Go and Be Emotionally Free

November 11, 2019 No Comments

A while back, I noticed that I became restless when I couldn’t work out or go to the gym. I was so used to working out that I made it a part of my identity. I couldn’t let go of it.

Do you know what that feels like? It’s the same when you can’t stick to any one of your habits—good or bad. Waking up early, reading, meditating, journaling, you name it.

What happens if we can’t stick to our good habits? We become restless. That’s harmful behavior because you’re not fully free. I mentioned the working out example to my friends recently, and every single one of them who worked out regularly could relate.

11 Lessons I’ve Learned From Beating Procrastination 500 Times

November 4, 2019 No Comments

I’ve published more than 500 articles on my blog. And every single time, I had to beat procrastination before I even wrote the first sentence.

Once I wrote the first sentence, the second was easier, the third was even easier than that, and so forth. But it wasn’t always like this; in the past, I never got to the first sentence. I never started. And as a result, I didn’t finish things either.

Since 2015, I’ve been sending out a weekly newsletter. I’ve published 7 books and created 6 online courses. In addition to that, I’ve been writing a new book since 2021, called The Stoic Path to Wealth, which will be published by Portfolio / Penguin on February 27, 2024.
