Just Be Bored And You'll Get Ahead Of 99% Of People

This system is the secret to getting anything done in life. Using this sheet of paper is going to guarantee you success in any field of any creative endeavor. But before you can understand the power of this system, let's dive into the story of one of the greatest artists of all time. In 1906, Mahler was composing his Symphony Number Eight. He had a burning desire to become one of the great composers of his time. Despite his talent and recognition, he hadn’t achieved his big break yet. To complicate matters, in 1907, he was diagnosed with a heart condition, making him realize that his time could be limited.
Determined to make his mark, Mahler spent the summer in the Austrian Alps in complete isolation. He made his life so boring that he had no choice but to work on his symphony. Surrounded by the mountains, streams, and waterfalls, he found unprecedented inspiration and energy. Little did he know that years later, nearly a thousand musicians would gather to play his Symphony of a Thousand, a masterpiece still celebrated today.
Would Mahler have created this symphony if he had allowed himself to be distracted? Probably not. The same goes for us. Can you achieve your masterpiece while spending hours on KZbin or eating junk food? Likely not. Many people set New Year’s resolutions to chase their dreams, but by February, most have given up. These resolutions often stem from unrealistic expectations and ultimately lead to procrastination and disappointment.
Planning often fails because it sets us up with unrealistic expectations. Instead, this sheet of paper offers a different approach: the hashmark system. This ancient method, likely used in early accounting systems, tracks only what you have done, not what you plan to do. It focuses on the 20% of activities that yield 80% of the results. By consistently doing these key activities, you will inevitably achieve your goals.
For example, if you want to get fit, track your workouts: pull, legs, abs, push, and shoulders. Every time you complete a set, mark it down. Over time, these marks will add up, leading to guaranteed results. This method applies to any goal, whether it's growing a KZbin channel, building a brand, or increasing sales.

Great topic! I've been using a process very similar to this for about 11 weeks, and it's been incredible to see how much I've gotten finished. I've probably made more progress toward my goals in the last 11 weeks than I had in the previous 2 years. There's just something undeniably effective about cutting out all the BS that you're using to procrastinate and just doing the few damn tasks you KNOW YOU SHOULD BE DOING. Every day. No excuses.

[@driesketels]

That's it. Keep on going! You got this DK

Hello! I’m an emerging artist and I’m currently in the process of developing my business. I love your enthusiasm and motivation! Your channel is very inspiring to me. As an emerging artist I really appreciate your encouragement and insights. The idea of hanging work in doctors offices is one I have shared with many of my artist friends. The idea of teaching art collecting is genius. One of my goals is to find ways to get more businesses interested in art collecting. There is a major disconnect of people from understanding how art can benefit their business and what it does for creativity and ingenuity. I’m also working on a blog to teach color theory and the impact of color on the environment and the benefit of art in the workplace . One of my goals is to start a you tube channel about art and my insights. If you have any advice or input I would appreciate any ideas you have. Thanks for sharing your ideas. -AnnaLisa If you are interested at looking over my work and giving insights I would love that. 😊

so true...

[@driesketels]

thanks. have a great evening.

Interesting take on letting go of expections and just focusing on tracking what you actually do.

[@driesketels]

Have a great week Frederic

[@brettblaster]

Should be an advisor if i end up raising money for my art hedge fund

[@driesketels]

Art hedge fund;... sound cool. Have a great week Brett

[@AezlyndWanderin]

Nice I’ve set myself a goal this month of creating 12 paintings this month and I’ve marked in a tracking app the days I actually painted. Next month I’m starting that KZbin channel you’ve been encouraging us to do but I haven’t decided if it’s going to be about hiking or about issues and tools directly affecting artists.

[@driesketels]

You can do it!

[@AezlyndWanderin]

Thank you! I have 5 finished, 4 nearly done and 3 not started. I think I will have between 3 - 9 that are good enough for sale …. Though considering the “quality” of some art being sold these days ….

Hey Dries what is the thing that you want to achieve?

[@driesketels]

Seems like a difficult question to answer in a comment. Free energy for everyone would probably be a good end point XD

[@BenHeffernanArt]

@driesketels ha. Yes, it's probably a little broad. I mean, are you pivoting with your channel? I see more fitness and other organisational themes. No problems with that. Still, all good solid info for artist's too. Just wondering what you want to achieve KZbin wise and if art is still a focus for you?

[@driesketels]

Yes art will remain a focus but I will also experiment with other forms of topics as well. Both for the foreseeable future.

[@BenHeffernanArt]

@@driesketels Looking forward to it. Great content.
