Hey mate! Thank you very much for your support!

I totally get what you are saying about knowing what you need to do and still, don't find the motivation to do it. To me, it was useful to realize that indulging myself with candy, cigarettes, tv series, and other self-centered pleasures wasn't making me happier at all. So if focusing on my self-pleasure didn't make me happy, and was actually making my life worse, why continuing down this path? Just because it's comfortable? Even from a purely selfish perspective, it's better to "do what you need to do" because you will feel better!

Also, we have Steemit community to support us doing so: writing about what you intend to do can also reduce the activation energy to actually do it. I think people will be happy to be your accountability group, me included. I'm doing something similar with the series I am starting on quitting my day job.

I hope my response can help you. I don't have all the answers, far from it, but I'm driven to learn more and more. It would be nice if we could help each other to improve. =)

Cheers
