>For example studying for an exam? I sit down to study for day, maybe for a week, but at some point your routine breaks especially if you feel like you haven't achieved the results even after working hard.
It's still exactly the same as putting off showering.
You get what you think about.

It's easier to focus on things that don't take a lot of time. The longer something takes to accomplish, the more opportunities arise for the derailing thoughts to win. But fundamentally it's the same process.

Look at what you wrote:
>I sit down to study for day, maybe for a week, but at some point your routine breaks
>at some point your routine breaks
Why does that occur?
The routine breaks because you give more credence to the thoughts that tell you "It's not worth it." You think "I should study," but then one day started thinking "Well I can skip one day," or "I'll just do it later," or "It's not really worth it," and then you're on 4chan or YouTube and the routine breaks.

Fundamentally, hard work is no different than easy work. You get what you think about.
