My Reality, Now


I'm so sorry, but I will need to slow my pace down a bit. The book took so much out of me and left a husk in its wake. It didn't take long before it started again. But I’d never guess there’d be so much shit to do so quick after The Leangains Method. 

I couldn’t be happier with the response. Couldn’t be more disappointed in my inability to keep it together and man the fuck up. 

But my workload and stress has increased tremendously due to many small and nagging errors that seemed to have made it into the first edition. Others not so small. 

These were supposed to be in yesterday. Nope. Since I want the print absolutely perfect, the stress but also the frustration is killing me.  

There will be a lens up for the next 24 hours that shows what I mean. I just feel like I can never win. And this was so hard to write, like the book was, almost every day. It's hard to stumble over the victory line and then tasked with a victory race when you can barely stand up of exhaustion. 

I’m flawed just like the rest and time-management doesn’t seem to be my strong suit. Even though I feel like I work all the time. And still, I feel useless at the end of the day. And it really puts me in a foul mood.

So this is the reason for the few days I’m taking to center myself before I destroy another Magic Mouse. That means the print is going to delayed by a week, minimum. 

Because it might be this guillotine I see hanging over my head. It’s been looming over me for so long now. Just one swiiiish away from catching up. So I'm simply putting down the pause button. 

But don’t worry. I will be around. Maybe that’s more like it. I need to be more here to feel good and not beat myself up with the print book so much. Cya in the WDC thread then. 

Just needed to get it off my chest. 

Good night.

Good triceps exercise for the long head?

Also add in the fact they probably never (or rarely) read any books in their life and lack the idea of "setting up the story" so you can "get it" in the end.

I totally get the fear of being misunderstood. Unfortunately, its inevitable given the distribution of IQ in society. Not to mention cognitive disonnance and other biases/shortcomings that most suffer from. No matter how well written, argued, proven etc. Its the cost of doing business in a public and somewhat crazy space. Those who misunderstand will aleays be there. Thats an unavoidable downside to what you do, in such a complex and nuanced field. The upside is that you have and continue to change so many peoples life to the better. and makes the whole process fun. Cant really put a price on that. Should outweigh the shit your going through now. With the book out, you will continue to do so for decades.
