What the fuck is wrong with you??? :pepeDread:

@NEETzsche
Well, she's wrong.
It is a motivation killer.
Also: Progress towards good is not something you fuck around with, just because it isn't your exact definition of instant perfect.

@LukeAlmighty I understand what you're thinking: "When will I be good enough?" You want to meet a goalpost and then call it a day. You're right to celebrate. But it's also always better to set a new goalpost. Now that you're not obese... get ripped!

You won't regret it. I promise.

@NEETzsche
No, you missed the point entierly then.

I don't do goalposts. Goalposts are retarded. Only managers to "SMART" strategies.

I do progress. Do you progress? You're good.

@NEETzsche
If you work based on "SMART" goals, you can fail. And as soon as you fail once, guess what? That makes you a failure, and trying to continue feels pointless.

This is why modern management techniques lead to burnout and meaningless goals, that end up wasting time instead of making you proud and productive.

Yeah.... I studied management. How can you tell?

@LukeAlmighty I'm lifting as we speak. I don't view things in terms of goals, but in terms of decision points. I see life as a long series of forks in the road.

@NEETzsche
See?
That's it. That's exactly what I'm talking about. Great job.

@LukeAlmighty Thanks fam. But you're going to love it if you get ripped. I used to be a husky strong fat type. You know, like Olympic lifters but not bodybuilding. It was great. I felt so healthy.

Everything went to shit in 2020.
