I feel there's more to the story. One thing is being organized, another is being able to execute consistently, and being organized is not a precursor to that. I am extremely smart, and productive, sometimes. Most of the times my mind jumps to random areas of interest, life happens, fight with wife/GF, parent illness, alcohol binges and I'm back to a baseline with almost no output. As if I'm sabotaging myself. Consistency is key, how you achieve it is second.


> fight with wife/GF

Life hack - you'll have fewer fights if you have Wife XOR Girlfriend, and not Wife OR Girlfriend :-)

On topic, I'm pretty much the same - my own brain sabotages me via nerd-sniping more often than any enemy ever could.

I don't really think there's anything to be done about it, TBH.
