The Lazy Genius Trick to Keep Your Habits Alive
Scott Adams, creator of *Dilbert*, never misses workouts—even when exhausted. His hack? Dress for the gym, drive there, and just *watch* people exercise. Often, he ends up working out. But even if he drives home, the *ritual* keeps his system intact. Motion maintains momentum.
This week, I felt stuck: no side-hustle progress, low video views, and zero ideas. But I’m still writing this—because **showing up is the system**. Publish first, polish later.
Your brain is easily tricked: Parking at the gym ≈ working out. Writing trash ≈ making progress. The key? Stay honest. This isn’t about performative effort (like posting gym selfies)—it’s about keeping the engine running.
Next time you’re close to quitting, **just start the ritual**. Action fuels motivation. Now, excuse me while I go stare at my laptop menacingly… 🚀 0 reply

Be the friend with time
I’ve learned that true growth begins when we befriend time. Whether investing, exercising, or building systems, all meaningful progress demands patience. Impatience has led me to countless pitfalls—each a reminder that time cannot be rushed.
"Timing" matters, but without preparation, it’s meaningless. Most "overnight successes" are decades in the making, their luck forged by persistence. One failure means nothing; surrender is the only true defeat. Keep trying, and success becomes inevitable—a matter of when, not if.
When ChatGPT-4o dominated headlines this week, I felt the familiar anxiety of chasing trends. Then I remembered: systems outlast moments. The realization steadied me—another step forward in understanding time’s quiet power.
Time judges no one. It lifts us from failures and humbles early triumphs, reminding us that all meaning unfolds at its pace. The only requirement? Showing up, day after day. 0 reply

Scott Adams, the author of My Life Where Everything Goes Wrong, makes one of his core points: Most successful people follow systems, not goals. Why do you say that? Most of us have experienced the cycle of struggling to achieve a goal, only to lose sight of it when it lands and then fall into empty and confused thoughts until a new goal appears...... Emotions can fluctuate, and the gains and losses of a city are often very important.
The concept of system construction is a kind of probabilistic thinking, the core of which is to do a certain thing continuously in the most labor-saving way for a long time, and build a subsystem of its own in the long run, so as to increase the probability of success. This subsystem can be a writing system, a learning system, a fitness system or a diet system, etc. As long as it is not at the table, the subsystem has the opportunity to develop into a career, or even become "SOMETHING BIGGER THAN URSELF" in life. 0 reply
