It takes an awfully long time to realize that if you can't stick to a miracle morning routine of waking up at 5am, meditating and journaling before hitting the gym, maybe that routine just isn't for you

If you can't *force* yourself to learn something and form new habits, maybe you're not doing it the right way.

If you consistently failed to "spend 1h per day reading on a particular topic to improve your skills, you're not the problem, it's not that you lack discipline per se, just that, in practice, it doesn't work for you.

Learning for me was always a matter of talking with smarter folks. It's something I enjoy doing. I ask questions, I probe, I pester. Then I learn. I'm definitely not good at sitting in a corner reading stuff. It took me a long time to realize it's an OK way of learning.

If it works, it ain't dumb.
