Systems don’t mean anything without hard work

A review of my journey in Productivity

After reading, watching and trying all those systems, schemes or hacks, I can generalize that working smart generates result faster, but to have even any result, you have to work hard too. Analogically if you have a supercar, you still have to press the pedal to move, and even if you have an old car, it will still move if you press hard enough. Of course a car in a good condition has a higher chance of getting further, but the moral is you should not wait till you have a supercar before you start on your journey. Take the first step if you have too.

Find a car, then drive.

Thank you for reading.
