How many times do you face a challenge and at the same time have that voice in your head that says, “I MUST solve this now. Otherwise, I can not proceed “?
Remember when you took a test at school and came across a question you did not have the answer to? What did you do when faced with such a challenge? Did you try hard to remember the answer or solve the problem? Or did you skip the question and finish the test first before returning to what made it difficult for you?
Many do the first. We believe that we must complete a test from beginning to end. But there comes a time when you hear the voice in your head say “just skip this question now as you have no answer”.
Because momentum matters
If you want to achieve anything in life, whether it’s trying to write a book or starting a business, momentum is everything.
We all know how good it is to get excited about something new. Maybe you want to create a daily running habit or maybe you want to start writing something, after postponing it for many years.
You start and after a few weeks, you get stuck. You want to go for a run but you’m cold. Or you want to write, but you can not find a good way to finish the story you started.
What most people do is give up on their goal. It takes something very small to stop your momentum, and you know it. Just stop trying for a day. And then you get lost in your thoughts.
It’s just like doing this test at school. When your test has 20 questions and you only have 60 minutes to complete it, you should not stop for 30 minutes at question 3.
You will not only waste time when you stop. The worst part is that you will lose energy while fighting stuck there.
You want to make things effortless
Sometimes you just have to strategically skip things. Especially if you want to make progress in life. Both our time and our energy are limited and it is easy to lose sight of what really matters.
For example, if you want to build your career, sometimes you need to skip keeping your house clean every day or cooking elaborate meals every night. Or if you want to write consistently, you just have to delete some draft texts that exhaust your energy and do not go down.
You need to skip some things because you can not spend more energy on things than you need to.
Life is already difficult. Why make it more difficult for yourself by not moving flexibly?
You want to be flexible and adapt to what is coming your way. And sometimes, the best way to make progress is to decide NOT to do anything.
