Life hack for ambitious lazy people: accept that your performative

Life hack for ambitious lazy people: accept that your performative If you're a really lazy but ambitious person, I have discovered a hack. It's not even a hack, it's something I've done for a long time and I didn't really realize because I joined a startup accelerator and my output has like 3Xed since being here and I realized it's because I have pressure. I would move the needle but in areas that were not the most priority. How I've gotten around this as a lazy and ambitious person is by agreeing to things I am not yet prepared for, like I am building a pilot product for a customer that I haven't built yet and they have paid me for a product that doesn't exist yet. Because one thing about me is I will fucking deliver. But the pressure has to come first. If I want to build the best thing ever before the pressure is there, before the expectation of me, I don't get these things done. And the thing about being in this startup world was realizing that is how everyone does it. That's what people do. That's how they get revenue before they have a product. People get so creative with ways of monetizing. It wasn't until I'd seen all of that that I realized that wasn't even an option. And I guess I just wish someone told me that that's how this shit works. That's how startups operate. They're so scrappy, even to the point of the business model. People online are always like, accountability buddies or builder buddies. Fuck that. Get a commitment from someone that you need to impress. Or like there has to be stakes. You have to be stressed out about it because then suddenly it becomes fun. The late nights become a necessity and you get so much done.
