Today, I will detach from those illusional identities that are holding me back. When I engage in sales or any aspect of life, if I fail to meet my standards, I tend to form an identity about myself based on that failure. During rough times, I may not perform well, and I desire a new identity, which is an illusion and not real. When I want to return to my previous self, I find it difficult because I have become attached to those identities. If I do something one day and then stop, I revert back to my old identity, which is not aligned with my goals.

I recently watched a video discussing the importance of detaching from those identities and changing them. Writing down your identity on paper can be helpful. When facing challenges, you can refer back to those identities. In this moment, I should revisit those identities and work towards them, aligning myself with my goals. It is not necessary to adhere to a strict routine every day or every hour.

I often attach my self-worth to daily actions. If I do not go to the gym regularly, I feel I am not a gym person or a healthy individual. I measure my agency by daily actions, which is beneficial, but when starting something new, it is unrealistic to expect to do it every day. You may feel stressed and frustrated, unsure of how to proceed. It is important to take your time and incorporate it into your identity. While it is not guaranteed that you will do it every day, aim to engage in the activity at least once in a while.

Prioritize your tasks according to importance. Identify your top priorities, focusing on one to three times a week for the most critical tasks. If you want to implement a new habit or idea, concentrate on it until you reach a level of familiarity. Then, evaluate your progress regularly.

Each week, identify a theme for your life. For example, if the theme is health, assess your familiarity with going to the gym and eating healthy. Based on your level of familiarity, adjust your schedule accordingly. If a task scores high on your priority list, commit to it for a few days a week.

Do not underestimate the value of consistency. If you focus on doing something well for a few days, it can yield significant results rather than overwhelming yourself with the expectation of doing it every day. This can lead to procrastination and distraction, shifting your focus to less important activities.

Life is not about constant productivity; it is about prioritizing what truly matters. Engage in tasks at the right time and in the right amount, taking small steps that lead to significant growth. When you see someone achieving success, remember that it often comes from focused effort over time.

As I learned from Spike 25, people may perceive my work as being produced in real-time, but in reality, I focus on my tasks, collect my efforts, and share them later. This process may take months or even a year.

Dr. Ali Abdul emphasizes the importance of focusing on what truly matters. I am currently evaluating what is essential in my life. I am not a machine capable of completing 100 tasks each day. This approach leads to burnout and multitasking, which is counterproductive. When outcomes are lacking, it is crucial to reassess your approach.

That is why I joined the Productivity Lab. I hope to become a productive alchemist. See you later.
