Separate the ACT

When you get in the act, it’s important to understand that the act is not the only goal (well, except it is) but part of the goal should be to make the most of the time for yourself.

There are two things you learn by learning. The first is the act, the second is the resource or knowledge. The first will help you create a habit or develop qualities such as consistency and speed (in reading), the second will impart the knowledge which was probably your goal. I’m talking about the first one.

For example. I do not want to write this article but I have to because I’m committed to the act and although my goal is to deliver useful knowledge, I have decided to prioritize the act without failing.

So, I’ve had a full day and I’m tired plus it’s past my sleeping time but I have to write.

Right now it is about the act.

I’m not sure I am enjoying writing this, I’m tired, so, I’ll stop here.
