I think hedberg10 and all these 'fuck off' advice guys have a point. It's just really hard to achieve that.

Don't take this wrong, but I noticed that your last paragraph could've been one of mine, and that it reads like defeatism (which I admit I practice a lot). It's a bad habit to have, and I'm struggling to get rid of mine.

It's that habit that makes me not want to start going into the gym in the first place to fix my body and my daily routine. That habit makes me think that gyms are full of people, commuting sucks, it takes time out of my already full schedule and because it takes years to get a perfect body it's not going to fix my daily life now, so why bother?

I've been trying to fix my productivity for a while and this realization of my self-defeatism inspired me to actually go jog after I post this comment. And for what it's worth, if it does not work, at least I've tried it.

Hopefully this can act as a mirror for you as well, as your comment acted for me. Good luck getting your emotions in shape.
