A story about procrastination.
2
In 1830, Victor Hugo was catastrophically behind deadline on the hunchback of Notre Dame.
3
His publisher had given him only a few months left, but Hugo was a spectacular procrastinator,
4
entertaining visitors, wandering Paris, and finding excuses not to write.
5
Desperately, he invented a bizarre discipline system.
6
He gathered all his normal clothes, gave them to his servant, and ordered them to be locked away.
7
He kept only a massive wool shawl
8
that draped around him like a monk's robe
9
And he was too embarrassed to leave his house dressed like a hermit
10
So he can find himself indoors He also bought a huge bottle of ink A literal symbol of his siege
11
that would go down over time
12
And each morning he sat half naked at his desk The cold air biting With nothing to do
13
but face the manuscript From that point on his study became a sell According to the legend,
14
Hugo would draft furiously and then slide the finished papers under the door where his servant collected them for safekeeping.
15
He was so cut off that even small needs had to be negotiated through the barrier.
16
Food and fresh paper were passed back the other way, so the routine never broke.
17
Adele, his wife, said he had entered his novel as if it were a prison.
18
It was a less jail and more self -imposed monastic cell.
19
And the result was that in a feverish burst, he wrote day after day, often for 12 hours straight,
20
and finished the entire novel within the lockdown months.
21
By January 15th, 1831, the manuscript was complete.
22
Frantic burst that birthed one of the great novels of the century without that desperate,
23
almost theatrical punishment system, the book that cemented Hugo's legacy might never have been completed.
24
Basically, you will be amazed at what you can complete when you have no other option.
25
And obviously, the modern world is the antithesis of this.
26
We have an infinite number of other things to do, parties to attend in Paris and virtual meetings that we can go to,
27
even if we're not actually a participant, we're just observing them.
28
I think when you commit yourself fully to one thing, and it's one of the reasons why multitasking in the macro, not even in the micro, is such a bad idea.
29
When you commit yourself fully to one thing, you can really achieve an awful lot.
30
I certainly know that it's one of the, if not the biggest unlocks that I've had ever with anything that I've ever tried to be good at,
31
whether it was playing cricket as a kid or building my business, my first business, club promoting, trying to DJ, modeling thing,
32
the fucking learning thing, the podcasting thing, the moving to America, the fucking 01 visa thing.
33
Like every single big achievement
34
that I'm really proud of has had it's required me to
35
do some version of this hugo jail cell thing where fuck
36
dude like i i bumped into a girl at breathwork a couple of days ago
37
and she we haven't seen each other for two three years
38
and she was like i just wanted to say like i'm
39
you know i'm really i'm really happy for how everything's gone for you
40
and um you know it really seems like like you've you've got on well
41
because i remember when we were talking about three years ago
42
and i'd be speaking to you and it would be 11 p .m at night
43
and you'd just be in your office editing audio files for hours
44
and hours and hours and i'd be out with my friends
45
and i'd be asking what you're up to
46
and i'd you'd just tell me
47
that you were editing these audio file you you must have i guess you have people
48
that edit the audio files now that's like yeah that yeah
49
that thankfully that's not a task that I have to do anymore.
50
But I had to, and so will you, up until the point at which you don't anymore.
51
But you can't get to the point where you don't have to do the stuff without having been the person
52
that has to do them.
53
I mean, it's different from Victor because even if he writes The Hunchback of Notre Dame, it's not like he gets a ghostwriter in to write his sequel or his next book.
54
But yeah, that thing in the macro, I think, which is just maybe worth lingering on is you can't multitask
55
there is no such thing as multitasking like what what people think about
56
when they think about multitasking is parallel processing there is no such thing as
57
that even switching between tasks has a huge fucking cost in terms of what you can achieve
58
but then doing it in the macro too you you miss
59
out on all of the big context window a word
60
that everyone knows now from ai the bigger the context window the more information it's able to pull in
61
and the more connections it's able to make.
62
I'm watching George Mack write his book at the moment.
63
And the size of the context window he's got is fucking insane.
64
Like he is, all he does is read, write.
65
train, and sleep.
66
That's it.
67
That's all he's doing.
68
He's just obsessed.
69
He's so deep in this process.
70
And it made me realize
71
if I was trying to compete with him for writing a book while doing all of the other bullshit that I'm doing, I'm going to get eaten alive.
72
I'm not going to get anywhere close to the types of insights
73
because I'm not playing with the different ways that all of these ideas can lock together.
74
And it doesn't matter what you're trying to achieve.
75
If you commit yourself to your health.
76
We're about to go into 2026.
77
You would be much better off having 90 days
78
or 180 days on a single goal
79
and then changing it for the next three quarters
80
or half of the year than you would be trying to do all of those things.
81
Well, it's important to have a balanced life and you'll burn yourself out if you do too much of one thing.
82
It's like, no, I fully disagree.
83
Find something that you can get obsessed about, allow it to climb inside you and wear you like a fucking parasite.
84
And then once you are done with that thing, you will make more progress.
85
Here's a good, best example.
86
You will make more progress in six months of dedicated training than in two years of half in half out training.
87
And you will learn more
88
and you will be spending all of your time fucking trawling forums and watching videos and doing all the rest of it.
89
That is the unlock.
90
There's another insight about procrastination.
91
Like I've been thinking a lot about procrastination this year.
92
Procrastination, as far as I can see, is often about fear.
93
We like to pretend procrastination is a time management problem, but regularly it isn't.
94
It's more like a self -protection strategy wearing a Fitbit.
95
When we delay doing the thing we know we should do, we're sometimes not wrestling with our schedule.
96
We're wrestling with our self -worth.
97
And the logic goes a bit like this.
98
If I try and fail, everyone will see.
99
So if I never try at all, the failure is private and deniable and safe.
100
This is the psychological sleight of hand at the heart of much of procrastination, as far as I can see.
101
It feels like avoidance, but it functions like armor.
102
You convince yourself the task is scary, or the conditions aren't perfect, or you need to feel ready first.
103
But really, you're just terrified that doing your best might not be good enough.
104
So you don't do anything.
105
On the surface, procrastination looks like laziness, but underneath it's fear wearing a pajama top.
106
And the tragedy is how elegant the trap is.
107
Number one, you procrastinate because you don't want to look bad.
108
Number two, this fear stops you from doing things.
109
Number three, you are afraid of failure, but by procrastinating, you guarantee failure.
110
You inoculate yourself from failure publicly by certifying your failure privately.
111
You get to say, well, I could have done it if I'd actually tried.
112
This is the safety blanket.
113
It's an emotional insurance policy, the psychological loophole that allows you to stay intact while your dreams slowly starve.
114
It's weirdly one of the few behaviors where we congratulate ourselves for executing a strategy
115
that literally delivers the opposite of what we want.
116
It's like a man who refuses to play the game unless he can guarantee victory,
117
not realizing that refusing to play is the only guaranteed loss.
118
Every time you hide in procrastination,
119
you choose the fake safety of hypothetical excellence over the real messy human business of trying and failing and trying again.
120
You choose the version of you who could have done great things over the version of you who actually might.
121
And this is the uncomfortable truth.
122
Procrastination is often not about indecision.
123
It's a decision to live in theory rather than in practice.
124
Once you see it clearly, the whole game changes.
125
The question stops being
126
why can't I get started and becomes what am I so afraid will be true about me if I actually try?
127
That's a much harder question, which is why most people never ask it.
128
They just carry on congratulating themselves for their caution while quietly guaranteeing the outcome that they fear most.
129
The antidote isn't motivation.
130
Motivation comes and goes.
131
The antidote is surrender.
132
You lower the stakes.
133
You let yourself look foolish.
134
You accept the embarrassment of being a beginner, the awkwardness of doing something badly, the exposure of your real effort being put on the line.
135
Because once you remove the need to look good, the need to start becomes easy.
136
It turns out that the hardest part of any meaningful work is not so much the work itself.
137
It's the identity shift that you must endure from someone who protect their image to someone who risks it.
138
If you can do that once and procrastination stops being a dragon.
139
Instead, it becomes what it always was,
140
which is a flimsy emotional habit built to protect a version of you that was never meant to survive adulthood.
141
You don't need courage to begin.
142
You just need the willingness to be seen beginning.
143
Procrastination is a massive problem, and there's practical limitations, usually two, as far as I can see.
144
The first one, you don't know what to do.
145
You have this big project.
146
You don't write a book.
147
You write a sentence or you open a Word document or you do research.
148
Don't know what to do.
149
Relatively easy solution.
150
What is the next physical action?
151
I need to write a book.
152
Okay, well, where are you?
153
I'm in bed.
154
Okay, well, I fucking throw the covers off you.
155
Then you need to get one leg out of bed, then another leg out of bed, then you need to stand up, then you need to go to the bathroom, then you need to put your pants on, then you need to go into the living room, then you need to get your laptop at like
156
that is the next physical action most people can go one more step
157
but can't run a marathon in a single go the same
158
thing is true second big practical reason is you know what to do
159
but you don't know how to do it and
160
that with the world of chat gpt and google and youtube
161
and friends that you can ring and experts and coaches is pretty easy to fix like
162
i don't know what to do break it down to next
163
physical action i don't know i know what to do
164
but i don't know how to do it ask somebody including a fucking ai agent uh
165
but the big bit i think when asking why is it
166
that i'm scared of even getting to
167
that stage why do i not want to answer
168
that question myself is because of this it's this identity problem it's the fact that you would rather assure your failure privately,
169
inoculate yourself from failure publicly by assuring your failure privately.
170
And, um, yeah, there is this bit of you that it's a kind of a coward in a way.
171
Uh, it is not a coward.
172
That sounds too mean.
173
Look at me, look at how gentle and, uh, fucking soft signal of effectiveness I'm trying to be here.
174
It is, it is maybe cowardly, but it's understandable.
175
The thing that I would say is that version of you,
176
that bit of you that needs protecting doesn't actually need as much protection as you probably think.
177
It's quite a juvenile version of you.
178
It's immature.
179
It's nascent.
180
And what it doesn't want is to look silly.
181
It doesn't want to be judged uh it doesn't want its self -worth to be damaged
182
because it's failed at something it doesn't want other people to think less of it
183
because it's not performed in the manner that it should have done
184
and um it's one of the ruthless things about imposter syndrome
185
and especially as you progress imposter syndrome doesn't necessarily go away
186
that quickly because like every higher rung on the ladder
187
that you climb just gives you further to fall oh my
188
god look at what my minimum level of output has to be now.
189
And this means that the procrastination thing, if you're not careful, if you don't turn around and face or pick up that sort of part of you, that's worried about being seen,
190
that's worried about failing, that's scared about being judged from people.
191
If you don't turn around and deal with that, he will or she will follow behind you.
192
And every time that you try to sort of take a step back to run at something, you'll step on them and they'll Yelp and they'll go, oh, no, what if we, what if we mess up?
193
And I don't think that that's a good situation to be in.
194
And, you know, the final point is, do you know about what the people,
195
do you know what the tasks that you didn't go for made other people think about you?
196
Nothing.
197
They don't think anything about you because you didn't try.
198
so the very thing that you are worried of happening
199
which is becoming irrelevant and people not caring is going to happen
200
if you don't go for it
201
and i would much sooner maybe maybe it's a maturity thing
202
it's probably going to get easier as you get older
203
because people realize as they age that failure isn't
204
that big of a deal and that somebody who tries and and Thank you who tries, somebody who tries, regardless of whether or not they succeed or fail,
205
somebody who gives it a crack is worthy of respect way more than somebody who has this sort of sardonic, distanced, non -earnest, insincere, like cutting cool.
206
I didn't need to do that, man.
207
Like I don't really tried anything, man.
208
All right.
209
They're not the people that I want to hang around with.
210
And they're not the people that my friends want to hang around with either.
211
So find your tribe.
212
You can be around people who have the willingness to be seen beginning,
213
or the people who would rather look cool for fear of failing publicly at something that they might win at.
214
Before we continue, I am a massive fan of reducing your alcohol intake, but historically, non -alcoholic brews taste like ass.
215
You don't need to be doing some big reset.
216
Maybe you just want to crack a cold one without feeling like garbage the next morning, which is why I am such a huge fan of Athletic Brewing Co.
217
They've got 50 types of NAs, including IPAs, Goldens, and even limited releases like a cocktail -inspired Paloma and Moscow Mule.
218
And here's the thing, you can drink them anytime, late nights, early mornings, watching sports, playing sports, doesn't matter, no hangover, no compromise.
219
And that is why I partnered with them.

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?
शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
