The Premise

The Premise

Your time outside of your day job is your own.

You have the time to learn how to bake bread, learn to cook, or just do whatever you want, and there is no excuse for not being productive.

But People get exhausted after the initial spike and let go.

  • Why has there not been a flood of new Great American Novels clogging Amazon's self-published section?
  • Why have most of the new podcasts and TikTok accounts popped up in March of 2020, when people were at their most bored-why have most of them gone silent?

Meeting Our Own Deadlines Is The Hardest

Meeting Our Own Deadlines Is The Hardest

  • Working diligently and consistently towards our dreams, especially if they're relative longshots, is one of the hardest things we’ll ever do, if we do it at all.
  • The self-confidence needed to believe in ourselves enough to try, and the dedication needed to maintain the discipline to keep doing it over and over again, even when it’s hard.
  • Without the structure of the workplace and other people relying on you, there is no necessary timeline for any project. No sprints to the finish line, no target projections to hit.

You Work For A Boss As You Fear Disappointing Them

You Work For A Boss As You Fear Disappointing Them

Just as we have met deadlines in our jobs, why can't we do so when we are on our own?

Your self-work should be as crucial as any office deadline. Remember: 

  • You are your own boss.
  • The person who hired you for this job liked you then and trusts you now.
  • They saw something in you that not everyone else sees.
  • Thanks to the charity of this person-this person being you-you got your dream job.

When You Are Your Own Boss

When You Are Your Own Boss

  • Your boss, which is you only, don't expect you to push yourself to the max every day, but they want to see you improve consistently

Govern Your Self-Imposed Deadline

Your boss knows the core of our issue with self-imposed deadlines.

Here is a small exercise.

  • Pick a task that is slightly challenging but doable.
  • Set a deadline for tomorrow, or sometime this week, at 9 am.
  • You can't change the deadline once you set it.
  • If you've set your output at something you know is manageable, it shouldn't be a problem.
  • Don't disappoint yourself.

  • Being a professional is about taking something abstract (dream) & turning it into something more concrete (action).

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
