This year I got obsessed with a project of mine, so without even noticing, I stopped working out. Before I knew it, my energy had dramatically plummeted, and things weren’t the same anymore. I had forgotten about the fundamentals of living a fulfilling life and I felt ashamed of myself. Then I understood that in order to build something legendary I had to start training again.

I’m a chronic procrastinator, so Instead of going for a run that very same day, I started making a list of expensive workout clothes I wanted to buy before taking action. I even considered buying an apple watch. I was completely illusioned by the idea of having the best accessories, because that’s what pro athletes do, right?

Not quite.

Things should go the other way around, you first start taking action with whatever you have around you, and as time goes by and you’ve proven to yourself that you’re serious about what you’re doing, you start investing in new equipment.

Always prioritize those things that are in your immediate control, they usually last the longest.

Your body and mind happen to be in that group, so make sure they’re in pristine condition before you go and buy unnecessary objects.



Here’s a really fun way to prioritize your life in a (buzzword alert) “gamified” way.

Every time you have the temptation to buy something new that’s not necessary, set a previous short-term challenge you have to overcome in order to reward yourself with that purchase.
