Day 19: The Art of Doing Stuff You Don’t Feel Like Doing

Today I’d rather clean the entire bathroom with a toothbrush than write a single line.
I have a really bad habit, and this is how it usually starts. When I start a project like this daily writing stuff or something else my motivation is high. In the first few days I feel like I could do it forever. And then it becomes a little boring every day, until I skip a day or two. When that happens, I almost certainly won't continue. A lot of projects ended up like that.

I need to change this habit because I hate it. I start so many things, but finish less. I always have ideas for projects, think about them a lot, work on them for 1-2 weeks, then something breaks and everything ends in the graveyard of big plans. That graveyard’s getting crowded. So yeah, I don’t feel like writing today. But if I show up now, maybe tomorrow won't end up next to yesterday.
