Sometimes even the positive things you do trap you. You could be in a cycle of good but because you’re passing up a bigger opportunity or avoiding the more important task it’s not helping you but harming you.

Learning is good. But learning to speak Spanish before a year in China won’t help you at all.

Reading is good. But reading a book instead of writing stops you from writing your own book.

Don’t catch yourself out by working on the wrong positive. It’s just procrastination.
