The person you imagine becoming has never had to experience your ordinary fatigue.
CREATIVITY
The imagined future self is never tired. They handle the difficult conversation, get up early, do the thing consistently, and they have none of the fatigue, distraction, or bad week that you actually have. Comparing yourself to them is comparing a real person with a specification.
When you plan, plan for the version of you that is tired, because that is the version who will be there. Make the commitment small enough to survive a bad Tuesday. Plans built for your best day fail on the majority of days by design.
What does your imagined future self never have to feel?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
