A short YouTube clip (uploaded by Matthew Kelly) in which Matthew Kelly argues that motivation is temporary and unreliable, while discipline, routine, and systems are the dependable way to accomplish tasks. He contrasts flashy motivational videos (e.g., David Goggins-style clips) with the necessity of getting up and doing the work the next morning.
I think you can capture things in moments of motivation. But if everyone's motivated all the time, then no one will ever not get stuff done right. So I think, like, discipline and routine and, like, systems to some degree. And the routine, probably most importantly, is the most reliable thing. Like, everyone's motivated watching, like, a David Goggins video or whatever, or, like, you know, one of those motivational videos on YouTube that go on for, like, 29 minutes with, like, war music and shit. But that's a flash of inspiration and motivation, whatever you want to call it. And then the next morning, you got to actually get up and do the thing.
