Re: How to Do Hard Things
#3Quite a dense read but looks like it has a ton of useful advice as I'm not familiar with ACT (only CBT). Added to read later!

#5The advertisement is at the top of the article and I was reading about flat file first before I realised I was reading an ad instead of the article. Annoying layout

#6The best advice related to this is that your thoughts are just your thoughts, and you can choose whether to give them importance. Reading some Eckhart Tolle helps here. As a founder I experience difficult thoughts all the time but they are just part of the game.
Think about your core values and why you are doing what you are doing, and what you want to achieve. Make some values more important than others. Everything you do should be in support towards those values.
Personally I want to build cool things and organizations that didn’t exist before, and make enough money such that I can one-up and establish egoic superiority over my neighbors, friends, and family (who hardly know anything about what I’m doing). I’m willing to push through difficult things to make this happen. I don’t want to turn this comment into a brag-fest but already reached some mild/decent success so far which gives me a lot of satisfaction.

#7In my experience ACT is most useful form of therapy if you want to live a meaningful life and not just do emotional management

#8Wtf the first part is an ad. I realized after finishing reading it. Ugh.
Re: How to Do Hard Things
#9Appears to be one giant ad for the authors ACT coaching business (I won’t bother to link it).
Which has an endorsement on it from the guy who runs the site this article is posted on. Not to mention my adblocker blocks the entire page from being rendered, had to check out the article in reader mode.

#10Excellent advice and concepts to think about further. ACT is new to me and seems very useful. After going through a difficult divorce and starting a new business some of the points seem very relevant. Connect yourself with the now and understand thoughts and not necessarily reality..
