Well music is about making other people feel so it isn’t entirely selfish.

What helped me to wake up earlier was to take control of my time before i got to bed the day before usually, I would make my self ready for bed a half hour early before I had to sleep and then set an alarm for when i had to wake up. It also helps to remove distractions so you don't get distracted and spend an hour on the phone when you should be sleeping which happened for me I recommend reading this blog post: https://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2005/05/how-to-become-an-early-riser/

Spend a lot of time trying to build rarer and valuable skills. Spend a lot of time between Theory and Deliberate practice(very specific type of practice). By books on music theory and practice them. A good teacher also is really helpful. Start with the fundamentals. Study the best in your fields.

Having a good productive system usually fix procrastination. what helped me was to know exactly how much work I had to do and then do no more than that. It can also be a way of your brain telling you you have a bad plan according to cal Newport For fear I think the best thing you can do is fully feel it and for resistance is probably figure out why you are resisting.

Find someone who already accomplished the things you want to achieve and then interview them for knowing how they did it.

@123456789 He did but i think its more about facing emotional difficulty rather than avoiding emotional difficulty.

I think this is a huge problem. A lot of people aviod something that is emotional difficult but that create a lot of other problems such as anxiety, loneliness, drinking problem, eating too much food and so on.

I recomend reading digital minimalism and deep work by cal nnewport. The reason mostly likely is because of spending to much time on distractions which create attention residue which ruin our concentration. The key to aviod this is spending more time being bored.

@LoveandPurpose you are welcome. I hope you achieve your goal

@LoveandPurpose the time spend studying doesn’t actually matter that much what matters is how you spend that time. To reduce study time focus instead on increasing your intensity of focus. But you can get more done by with intense focus and a lot of hours if you can keep it up.

I think some of the best tips is: Focus with high intensity free of distractions. to understand something teach it(or pretend to teach it) to get good at it practice it. for memory look up retrieval practice. take breaks seriously to recharge your energy to avoid burnout. have a productive system. Take control of your time. Know deadlines in advance and prepare for them in advance instead of the last minute. I recommend checking out how to become a straight a student by cal newport http://www.calnewport.com/blog/2007/07/26/the-straight-a-gospels-pseudo-work-does-not-equal-work/ to get good at language if the goal is speaking spend a lot of time on actually speaking the language as practice.

I think to many people just take other peoples words as facts or on blind faith instead of actually trying to truly understand it them self.

I just practiced on my interest and it develop to my passion the better i got.

I think you are right.

skills. The better you are at something the more passion you are likely to have and the more valuable you are to the economy.

@Highest not really sure if that is a yes or no. Nevermind read to quickly.

is this just another way of saying "I am 100% responsible for everything"?

Very inspiring person.

Same here. All i am is just another human being.

@lmfao Just took a quick look was at McDonald so i couldn't read it all and it looked like an argument but anyway thats good then. Sorry i was too quick to judge.

@lmfao sorry but I am not going into an argument.

@Harikrishnan There is also videos suggesting we have free will. However as I said I don't know if we have free will or not I am not just gonna take someones word for it because if I did I would just believe it, I wouldn't have a true understanding of it.

@Harikrishnan pre-determined doesn't have to mean you aren't successful. it could mean you are pre-determined to be successful. But I have no idea if the universe is pre-determined or not. However, I like to think that I have a choice in whatever I do. Look up fixed vs growth mindset.

@Harikrishnan I am not really sure what you are on about but check out David Goggins he shows what real commitment means. Success doesn't magically happen effortlessly, you have to put in effort. Success is earned not given.

It is just a question of how committed you are to achieve success.
