A day when I looked back on my difficulty executing past ideas, felt positive change through the Fogg Behavior Model, companions, and steady hourly records, looked forward to the ‘new opening’ after clearing my Inbox, and decided to move toward the path of coding.

💭 Diary

Seeing once beats asking a hundred times.

Typing once beats seeing a hundred times.

I often come up with flashing ideas that I honestly believe are pretty valuable: “If I make this, it will be huge!” “If I implement that, it would be so fun!”

But the moment I face the enormous mountain called “execution,” I freeze without fail. It is embarrassing, but the pattern of my life so far has mostly been like that. Am I going to keep living like this?

No… I cannot. Now I am desperate. Time no longer waits for me. And I know. I have at least vaguely grasped the core principle of what I need in order to act.

Recently I even gained a powerful tool called the Fogg Behavior Model, B=MAP. If I truly want to do some Behavior, I first strengthen the clear Motivation for why I want it, break the task into tiny action units that match my current Ability, and then set appropriate Prompts and rewards for each easy level-one task. If I do that, then no matter how grand the goal looks, I can eventually achieve it.

On top of that, I recently gained precious companions with whom I share each day’s goals, what I accomplished, and what I am grateful for. If we support each other’s challenges and move forward together, the persistence will become several times stronger than when I am alone.

These days my execution has noticeably improved, and honestly I have been spending wildly busy days taking care of the things I had piled up and put off. It is so fun, but because I am moving so hectically, there are still moments when I wonder, “What on earth did I even do today?”

Thankfully, because I built the habit of steadily recording my daily life by the hour, I realized that this whole process is not just killing time while doing random stuff in a frenzy. It is the process of finally doing, one by one, the things I had desperately wanted from long before. As expected, the power of records is bigger than I thought.

Anyway, to cut to the point, it is close. The day I cleanly empty every To-do list piled up like a mountain in my Inbox, that is when the “new opening” of my life will begin.

Even if it is only one step each day, let me keep moving forward, reflect on myself, and steadily maintain the direction and destination I should walk toward according to the guidance of the deepest voice inside me, my highest conscience (in my case, the Lord).

If I keep walking every day, even just a little, without stopping, I strongly believe that someday I will surely have reached the destination I want.

… I just blasted this out in a stream of consciousness, so normally I would run it through Gemini and fix and polish it, but honestly, does that matter? The point of a blog is to organize thoughts, not to write pretty prose.

I have talked enough about all kinds of ideas.

Seeing once beats asking a hundred times, typing once beats seeing a hundred times! Hurry up and finish the basic tutorials, then do “real coding.”
