    "your environment has to be perfect" spot on.
    I've been working from home the past two years and I just realized I literally work from my bed and sometimes the sofa and i still get shit done.

    I totally agree with the first myth! Beating yourself up ends up just slowing you down. Learn to be happy with the work you do. That kindness and motivation towards yourself will help you increase your productivity in the long run.

    Yeah often things are made less or overcomplicated. Theres logic behind the way the world works and how you should approach it. In order for something to happen it needs an impulse (cause and effect). But we need to keep in mind why we want things to be done. Its often because we want the freedom afterwards. Some peaple just forget what they even work for.

    I wasted lots of time trying out multiple productivity apps like - Notion, Obsidian, Remnote , evernote, onenote etc etc.
    Finally i learned to keep it simple and use the app what best works for you.
    Now i use app logseq for note taking as that worked best for me for organizing my notes , journals, courses which is free and best for backlinks and outliner.
    And i use notion for tracking task management. Thats all !
    Request everyone not to waste too much time on apps , test in short time and decide quickly which works best for you and stick with it. Better spend the time in your real works than wasting time in studying all new apps.
