A good reflective comment from Radhika on her habits/lights tracking --
I've really been struggling with narratives. There's so much I want to rationalize to myself. I'm doing quite poorly in comparison to the lights I'm seeing people post in the comments here, but for myself, I've been doing extremely well. I want to rationalize that in notes, but I'm restraining myself from doing so.
Well, it's important to note we all start from different places. A person who has some "ADD-like" characteristics will have more ability to generate raw creativity, but have a harder time nailing consistency habits. If you're only tracking consistency via Lights (which is what it's primarily for), it'll miss the magnitude, frequency, and depth of creativity -- thus leading to the feeling that "jeez, I'm not doing as good as other people."
But -- ! You're not other people. The high-creative/high-inconsistency person benefits more from getting on structures like Lights, despite seeming to do more poorly objectively. Yet, being able to harness and channel that creativity leads to huge gains.
You know? The same could be said of someone who naturally has high levels of fatigue -- it might be harder to do fitness, stretching, etc -- but they also benefit more from incrementing up on it than someone who naturally has a ton of energy.
It's a strange paradox, that all process-based actions are not equal in difficulty to different types of people, and often the ones that are most difficult to you have inordinately high payoffs and gains.
So, don't compare yourself to others too much; it's not apples and apples by any stretch of imagination.
