We all know that guy who resolves on New Year's Eve to run 5 times a week, and when you talk to him a month later he hasn't run once. Ask him why, and he'll hamster out of his promise saying he doesn't have time, he's not that kind of athletic guy, whatever.

And that's probably true. Running 5 times a week is a big commitment if you're not already running. So why the heck would you resolve to do that?! Imagine if that guy'd resolved to run once a week. That's doable, even easy. Maybe in a few weeks he'd find his groove and start doing a couple jogs each week. It's not 5 times a week, but it beats the crap out of sitting around doing nothing and lamenting that you can't run 5 times a week.

Why does this guy do more when he aims for less? He's overwhelmed by the big goals, and it feels easier to give up than to go whole hog. Yet start off with small, reasonable goals, and suddenly stuff gets done.

Now, how does this apply to TRP?

There's a ton of information on here, and everyone's first instinct is to read it all and thirst for more. And since this is a forum, there's no shortage of new info. Awesome! But now you go to apply this knowledge in your life, and you've spent 2 hours of your free time on Reddit already. And now you're trying to lift weights, start a business, pick up 7 girls a week, and fight some men's rights battle. Like hell you're going to do that. Easier to go back to TRP and read up on the latest shit test.

So don't overwhelm yourself - learn what you need, and apply it until you've mastered it. Hit the gym once a week. Aim to talk to a new girl each week, forget sex for now. Strive to do the best you can in the job you have. No need to become a god overnight, it simply won't happen. Small lifestyle changes will snowball into very high value attributes as your body adapts to more productive schedules.

With all this said, I'm going to be taking a break from Reddit for a little while to see what happens with that time. Best of luck to everyone else who've yet to fully actualize - start small guys.
