Day 150: On Indulgences Charging You Interest

It’s  this  great  paradox  that  only  a  few  people  understand,  but  ultra-

performers have realized that procrastination and indulgence are like these

creditors that charge us interest. They make us feel good now, it’s easy in

the short term, but it’s what creates the more difficult life.

—Rory Vaden

Metaphors can serve as useful tools to better understand and embrace

concepts that otherwise don’t produce an emotional effect.

If  I  tell  you  that  putting  things  off  and  indulging  yourself  affect  you

negatively  in  the  long  term,  perhaps  you’ll  agree  with  me  and  stay  away

from them. Or perhaps you’ll ignore me, because the statement in itself isn’t

emotionally-charged and memorable.

Instead,  what  if  you  embraced  the  metaphor  that  procrastination  and

indulgence are like your creditors? They extend you some credit today, but

don’t fool yourself — they will be back, asking you to give the money back

along with interest.

The more you overeat today, the more time you’ll have to spend in the

future  in  a  caloric  deficit.  A  cake  today  is  so  tasty  and  nice  to  have,  but

don’t let it fool you — under the friendly face hides a ruthless banker.

The more time you spend playing video games, the harder it will be in

the  future  to  give  up  the  habit  and  become  more  productive.  Indulging

yourself feels good today, but there will be a price to pay for it!

What are the interest rates your indulgences charge you? The next time

you’re about to succumb to a temptation, ask yourself if you want to place

yourself in debt, in exchange for a fleeting moment of pleasure.
