  • It’s pure neuroticism. Ask yourself objectively if there’s any such thing as this kind of “imposter.” That doesn’t exist. You have a job, and you try to do it. You’ll make mistakes and you’ll learn from them. Dwelling on these thoughts and feelings is the real waste of time, the real weakness.

    Some of these fundamental attributes are always going to trip you up. I don’t have a solution. But you obviously have to relax and focus on always improving. Just like anybody else. Dwelling on “imposter syndrome” is just adding a new obstacle.


  • Going to the gym: I absolutely HATE the gym. But after a month of forcing myself to go, my body ached for that exercise. And I consistently kept going because it almost hurts to NOT go.

    Personal projects: I’m editing a novel I wrote, and editing is not as fun as writing the first draft. I’ll procrastinate for days. But when I FORCE myself to just sit down I get totally absorbed, and then it’s fresh on my mind and I actively want to edit the next chapter.
