What if you didn't care about what you SHOULD do

What if I didn’t care about everything that I should do, but did what I want to do?
What if I ignored the best practices, the top 10 growth hacks I never knew, the mental models that will make you unstoppable, the 10 tools that feels illegal to know?
What if I just did what I needed—WANTED—to do, right here right now?
What if I didn’t care about:
- Engaging on social media daily
- Posting/Tweeting every day
- Growing an audience
- Working hard
- Working nights and weekends
- Getting up at 5am to work
- My strict habits and routines
- Thinking about work 24/7
- The thousand and one other good-to-do tasks in a day
What if I just did what’s needed, what moves the needle, and be done for the day?
What if I choose to be strategically lazy?
Would I still be able to achieve just as much? Or would I—in the end—achieve more?
I don’t know for sure.
But I sure feel like I want to try now. More than ever.
I’ve worked so hard for so long. Yet the results elude me.
Maybe just trying something new, something refreshing, something fun… something I yearn to do, will help.
Frankly, I up to my throat on what I should do… so much that I don’t want to care anymore.
Anything different will probably help at this point.
Something.
Anything.

@therealbrandonwilson if anything, i’m trying to get off the advice train my inner critic keeps giving to my smarter, wiser, more intuitive self…
Agree about screw social media!
Screw social media, for one. For two, at some point you have to get off the advice train and chart your own path forward.
