Scale Your Time Vertically
You scaled enough horizontally for now.
You have multiple projects, multiple hobbies, multiples interests, multiple books to read, multiple skills to develop, multiple...
You have enough things to keep you busy for a year.
Staying busy is Grant Cardone's secret to avoid procrastination.
You mastered staying busy.
Now it's time to do one thing at a time for long periods of time.
When you were a kid, you took the remote control, and changed TV channels every millisecond.
It's the same now.
You are skipping attention channels every millisecond.
You listen to a song, you watch a YouTube video, you scroll the Facebook newsfeed, you read an email, you read a manga chapter, you respond to a message, and you do various things every minute.
When you look at a day, you probably only focus for 2-3 hours per day.
You need to scale your time vertically.
Spend more time on a few projects every day.
Imagine spending 5 hours on one thing only in one day.
That would be a huge achievement.
Your prioritization is good and your focus is decent.
Now your biggest obstacle is the time variable.
Spend more time on the few important things.
