I agree with every word of his!
Very few of us can reliably feel motivated before we start doing something.

Ofc there’re times when getting started feels a little easier, like New Year’s, the beginning of a new academic year, a Monday full of promise…

But most of us mere mortals often get motivated only after we’ve taken action.

So start today, start this academic year, start on Monday — but START. Do something! Get yourself a chance!
Motivation will catch up with you later.
