Day 20: My Worst Habits

Habits can make or break you. They form and change and break, but ultimately, if you don't keep yourself in check, you can find that you're working against yourself even without doing so consciously. So, dear reader, here are some of my worst ones habits:

1. Procrastination

Do I even need to explain? The amount of troubles I leave to future versions of myself are endless and present me would like to send a personal kick in the teeth to past me for all the hassle he's given me.

2. Going To Bed at Butt's O'Clock

I'm a night owl, and I can turn nocturnal *fast* if left to my own devices for too long. You ever do something and then look up and suddenly it's midday? That feels like my whole damn life.

3. Forgetting to Change The Calendar

It's literally still sitting on May right now. I look at this thing daily. And I don't change it. Why, why, why am I like this?

4. Severe Self Doubt

Which is something I'm working on. I'm taking to heart something I told a friend of mine; You can't optimize a solution that doesn't exists.

Which might not mean much to you but it's advice I've been trying to take, especially in the content I create and the things I want to make; You can't let the fear of releasing something sub-par keep you from making things. You have to create. You have to do. Even if you do bad, you have to do. You can't do well if you don't do badly first. Because being bad at something is the first step to becoming kinda good at something. And it's also the second step, and the thirty second step, you have to make a lot of mistakes before you get it right. But that's okay.

Just don't beat yourself up about it, and don't let the fear of losing or failure keep you down. To the well trained mind, failure is just another part of success.

My mind isn't well trained, so I'll let you know how that goes.

But that's all for now, hope you'll be back soon. Lots of love from me to you though, and I hope you can conquer your worst habits.
