Wonderful insights everyone. I have a lot to learn from this thread 🙂 Matt, i really liked the way you look at laziness. I still struggle with having discipline over my habits when my mood is particularly bad – i feel like my energy levels plunge like crazy under stress, uncertainty and a feeling of being stuck. I begin to procrastinate to escape.

Its actually more painful to be stuck in self-loathing induced by being unhygienic, avoiding exercise and people – sitting cooped up in the room all day with the laptop while dreaming up big schemes, but actually blaming ourselves for not doing it. I guess the only thing we can really do is start small and be consistent, instead of obsessing about the results from day 1 itself. Its hard but a necessary lesson i suppose.
