Five increasingly painful truths that will shock you into action. These will be harsh, so please scroll on if you're not ready to face them. 1. Your doom scrolling addiction will ruin your life. It hijacks your dopamine system while leaving you empty. Figure out a sustainable balance. 2. You keep saying you'll take action, but you won't. Stop lying to yourself. Look at your past behavior and do something meaningfully different. 3. Excessive planning and being in research mode is not doing the work. It leads to options, paralysis and overwhelm. Find a way to get started. Find. 4. No one wants to hear you complain about your problems and do nothing about it. Figure out what you need to do and execute. 5.
