And when I say try your best, because we're not robots, we're not full-time work machines, besides me, maybe, but we're not robots, that means also do your best at relaxing and resting, right? If you're gonna work, work. If you're gonna chill, then chill. You don't wanna be a dim light that's half on.

You wanna do one or the other. Now, I find chilling and relaxing, I guess this is my personality, it makes it easy, extremely stressful. then there's nothing more stressful for me than trying to not do my work. Because if I'm not doing my work, then I'm thinking about the work I'm supposed to do,

and I'm more stressed than doing the work. So everyone goes, Andrew, you need to just chill. I'm like, that sounds terrible. That sounds like the most stressful situation to be in. So all I want to do is work. But occasionally, if I do need time off, if I need five minutes or whatever,

Why half do something?

Even the smallest most bullshit task that will never help you,

If you do meaningless work while watching a podcast, it takes you 40 minutes.

If you focus ENTIRELY on the task it takes you 10 minutes.

You have a choice.

So why half do it?

You're just spending MORE TIME doing a MEANINGLESS ACTIVITY.

"But Tate, I got to half listen to a cool podcast"

SO?!?!?!

YOU SPENT AN EXTRA 30 MINUTES ON GARBAGE.

And this applies to EVERY LITTLE THING YOU DO.

The world of smartphones has made it possible to half-do everything.

Doing your laundry? Listen to a podcast.

Filling out spreadsheets? Put on a movie.

Everyone has become a zombie walking through life using the excuse of "it's bullshit" as cover.

Dim lights.

Never fully on, never fully off.

And it's been so long since you fully focused your entire being on a task,

That you don't even know how to do it anymore.

Brain-rot.

Do you realize how easy it is to win when your default is full focus?

Do you realize that fighting a half-asleep man-child is actually easy as fuck??

Stop half doing things.

Especially the bullshit meaningless tasks you need to do,

Because how else are you going to learn to focus on stuff you don't want to do?

How else are you going to finally actually learn how fast you can move?

Wake up Neo…

You'll be amazed at what you can do once you finally try.
