  • Motivation isn’t a real thing. Stop leaning on it and waiting for it to show up out of the blue and support you.

    Discipline is what you need. Sucks to hear, sorry for that.

    Trust me on this: you told yourself it’s easy. So do it. It’s easy. If you don’t, these inactions will low key create self hatred. You’ll fall behind before you realize it, be inundated with work, and your subconscious will think back to this moment. All you’ll hear is “Fuck this I hate this this sucks” maybe even “I hate myself”.

    Don’t let it get there.

    It’s easy? Prove it.

    If you get shit done while being true to yourself, self-hate is genuinely difficult.













  • Big disagree.

    1. It is unlawful for a gift card to expire in the US. (Ask Simon Malls how badly they got fucked for this.)

    2. There are tons of expensive restaurants my partner and I are simply not going to go to unless we’re able to knock $100 of the bill.

    3. Retired people are on a budget. Gift cards help them with that.

    4. Often times people have niche hobbies wherein buying a present might have good intentions. but it’ll be in vain. I’m a beer snob. Do not get me beer as a gift, ever. Gladly take a gift card to a good brewery. I’m a musician – don’t buy me gear. I work and tinker with networking. Don’t buy me hardware. Give me gift cards.

    They are low effort and high reward. They are excellent gifts, both to give and receive.
