The Battle within

 Procrastination.

Constantly lying to myself, avoiding obstacles, going along the line of lesser resistance.

Picking up easy doing tasks, a lot of them, finding pleasure in executing them and checking after.

But, real productivity lies in constantly doing task(s) which matter the most. Those which are simply - important ones. And those are not many during the day. And being focused on progress, because, at the end only my progress motivates on a long term.

But from my experience, the pros outweigh the cons. I get to wake up whenever I want. I no longer have to endure unproductive meetings or put up with nefarious colleagues. I’ve traveled to more than 12 countries wi

When reality strikes through

Once upon a time, in a far, far galaxy, there was a story tale of an ideal partnership. Mutual comprehension, respect and will to help were virtues highly appreciated and cherished. When exactly and where the reality struck, nobody knows. From the ideal, after reality hit, only a fairy tale remained intact. A hope. And nothing and nobody else. Whoever has designed and programmed our subconscious Matrix "modus operandi", did a good job.  To know the best for us and to do what is best for us, between these two is our Matrix: subconscious program written to follow rules, obey, copy-paste others, to simply blend with all others.  Not to be "deviant, contrarian, defiant" :) On the other side, difficulties have the power to change and mold us, if we are unable to do it by ourselves.  To work again or not to work? To work for someone else or to insist of working for myself, therefore upgrade myself? To live a life according to the society dictate or to brake through, in sp
