Dive into my Week

Content I found interesting:

This YouTube video explains really well something I have been trying to figure out for a long time, why do we struggle in life, even when we have everything perfect?

 This video made it really clear the reason I am obsessed with making every minute of the day productive to the point where I can’t breathe.

I now understand that the child that still lives in me is afraid of not being loved if I don´t make something out of my life, that’s why I developed this part of my personality that is a sergeant trying to protect that child.

Lex Fridman Podcast #276 – Michael Saylor: Bitcoin, inflation, and the Future of Money

This podcast that explains, not only how money and governments work but also things that no one teaches you.

That inflation rates can be manipulated and that it’s not easy to calculate it, on USD it was 7% a year for the last 100 years, that’s way more than people think.

And that every action of a government is inflationary, even if they don’t print money, which makes it worse obviously.

These are just the thing that got stuck with me, but every sentence that comes out of this guy teaches you something, I think he is a genius, you should listen to it.

Thoughts and realizations:

This week I found out that, I don´t find a solution to my problems because I don’t ask the right questions.

When you find the wright question, the answer is really clear.

So, I have been trying to ask the tough questions in my life and refining them, sharpening them, without trying to get to a solution but trying to get to a great question.

I am doing this trough my journal, writing everything that comes to mind when I feel unmotivated and trying to find the underlying cause of it just with questions.

The big struggle this week was against YouTube.

This is the social media app I found most difficult to get out when I stopped using social media, and every time I hit a rough path, I get back to it really fast.

The thing I found out is that I don´t use it for the content, I don´t use it to find some interesting videos, I use it just to escape my mind, just to procrastinate.

Every time I feel like I don’t want to work or every time I am bored, I feel the need to open YouTube, it is a really compulsive and draining behavior.

I didn’t yet solve the problem, it is deeper than I thought, I know that if I stop using YouTube, I will not solve it, I will just redirect this compulsive energy to another thing.

So, my fight now is to try to discover from where this comes from and how could I control it.

Another thing I found out is that you can be productive and procrastinate at the same time, that’s when you work on something that you will have to do eventually but it is not urgent.

And you do it because you feel like you are being productive and because you don’t want to deal with the difficult stuff.

Starting with the difficult first is being productive.
