My First Time Providing Value

You Need to Provide Value, You Need to Provide Value. I am relatively new to the world of motivation, Side-Hustles and productivity but one thing that has become abundantly clear to me is the common thread that all of writers in this space proclaim is the need to provide value.

We all by now know what ‘provide value’ means. It’s more than likely why you are reading something like this, you are interested in filtering out the noise and want to become a person with a devoted purpose that you want to pursue in the shortest time possible by using all of your newly developed productivity hacks.

For most of you reading this my advice wouldn’t be helpful for you, because ultimately I am just a junior keyboard warrior trying to etch out a path on this messy trail of new self-development writers that are most definitely clogging up your browser tabs at the moment. I may not have the shiny nuggets of advice that you were seeking when you clicked to read this post, something that you can immediately feel captivated by and want to go out into the world and put into action. That’s not me yet, I can’t provide you with those clear nuggets of wisdom and advice.

What I can give you is give you my story. Which is all the value that I can give you and to me is the most important value that can be given to another person like yourself. I see myself as you, the reader of this post because I am early in my journey of self-development. I still fail to maintain consistent morning routines, I struggle to remain focused for a whole Pomodoro session and I feel that sense of guilt when I don’t live up to the lofty productivity standards that I set for my self during my evening routine the night before.

I want to bring you a personal story of how I am progressing so that you can have value through my triumphs and my downfalls as I try to traverse the terrain of becoming a more productive and self-fulfilled individual.
