It's Not "Just Start", It's The Energy

If you feel lazy, you can't "just start"

It's the energy, bro

You must have seen content on TL that suggests "just start"

In reality, you've started, but still didn't perform in the end

That's right

In reality, "just start" is not always the solution if you want to perform

If you just want to get it done, then maybe you can use that solution

But if you want to be "effective, efficient, fast, good", you can't just use "just start"

Why is that?

Because if you want to be effective, efficient, fast, good, you have to be able to be in a state of "flow"

Flow means you have to be in the right energy to do something right

Here's the picture

For example, if you're on the beach, will you be able to have a serious and stiff debate like in court?

Maybe you can, but you will realize that it's not natural and there are some things that "don't click"

That's when you're not in flow

Done, but not great

Another example, you have a family member or friend who usually works in construction. He has been working in construction for 30 years. Then, you ask him to sell toys for children. Can he? It's possible, but it won't be as good as the performance of someone who usually sells to children. There might be sales, but not many.

Done, but not great.

That's because he's not in flow

So, now you understand why "just start" can't always be the solution?

"Just start" can be the solution if the energy is already good from the beginning, so it's okay to start right away. It's a different story if the energy doesn't match.

Maybe you'll protest, "But if you just start, you can gather energy from your work and eventually your energy will match???"

That's right. But that takes more time. It can't always be the solution for those who need quick results.

If you're doing it on the side, maybe it's okay to use the "Just start" solution. But if you want quick results, you have to take what suits your energy.

That's right.

Now, how can you have the right energy?

There are two methods

First, you can see what's around you. What you see, what you hear, what you usually say and do. All of that affects you. So your energy.

If you are often in green places and do physical activities in nature, you are not easily suited to doing work that takes a lot of space in a closed room and relies on the brain rather than muscles.

Second, this is if you want to take a path in new energy. The way is "just start". Here, the solution becomes relevant. However, there are several conditions that you must pay attention to. First, as I said earlier, it takes time, so you have to be patient. Second, "just start" must be applied not only in your work, but also around you. What you see, what you hear, what you say, must be related to that.

For example, you want to be a fitness YouTube content creator. You have to often watch fitness content, listen to podcasts or other materials about fitness, write down the information you got earlier, make your room a fitness theme, put up fitness posters or the like, and so on. Just make sure your room has a lot of green color so you can recharge your energy and rest well.

So, the energy match that you want can be achieved faster than if you have applied the solution "just start", but the energy around you has not been adjusted.

Well, that's it. No need to be long. Practice from what you can do best starting now.
