The simplest mindset shift that made me more productivd

My mind has always been insanely active. Just nonstop chatter from nonsense to life-changing ideas (according to myself). But acting them was always the bottleneck. I would rather play videogames... Until I realized whether I'm playing a videogame or doing things in real life, it's all the same thing.

I can either strategize, grind and compete within a virtual world of another person's making or I can perform basically those same tasks in the real world, although I'm mostly using a computer anyway. It's all clicking on buttons and manipulating information for a certain outcome (if you have deskjob). If you boil it down, playing games and an office job both are just clicking buttons and talking to people. Honest to God. I can either watch my XP go up or my income. It's the same thing. So then I started viewing housekeeping as inventory management, job training as leveling, menial day work as grinding, etc etc.
