INVESTING IS FUN
Most people think of investing as a painful, self-depriving endeavour that rips you off all the good things of life--that you care about. But is this true? Is investing a soulless activity that robs you of your joy?
I used to think investing was boring. hated the idea of depriving myself of so many things just so I can have those same things later in life. It made no sense to me.
We all want to live a full and meaningful life without sacrificing too much of ourselves and that entails doing the right things with our time and resources, and still have time for other things we care about like our friends, family, our passion, etc.
I think we can live a balanced and rich life by doing seemingly herculean tasks (like investing) in a detailed and structured way. I try to break the process of investing into tiny seemingly insignificant bits. This way I don't have to worry about the macro but the micro.
For instance, if I need a certain sum of money, I determine the following:
How long will it take me to gather this amount?
What do I have to do to achieve this early day?
Setting realistic time frames around your goals gives you the urgency and awareness to pursue them diligently. This is followed by outlining actionable steps that would bring your goals to fruition.
Once I answer these I incorporate it into my daily routine and it becomes an almost mindless chore I carry out daily. I don't need to constantly think about how to achieve my goal, I just know that as long as I follow my routine my goal is in plain sight.
This is how I stay unperturbed about the future. Although sometimes life throws things your way and you might have to re-strategies but on a general scale making your long-term plans part of your daily routine simplifies your life.
The other benefit of incorporating your long-term goals into your daily routine is that it gives you a deep sense of purpose. You are not drafting through unaware and unprepared; your every move is pushing you towards your goal.
In conclusion, taking a big problem and breaking it down into bits makes it more feasible and solvable in the long and short run. Incorporating those tiny tasks into your daily life makes the whole goal less time and energy-consuming. This is how I control the worries and anxieties around my finances.

good approach. specially for the young people in their early 20s they should focus on long term investment and plan it out well.
I believe one's 20s is the best and easiest time to accumulate wealth. I have invested most of my time within the crypto community and that has been one of the best decisions of my life

thats awsome. not everybody in their 20s have long term approach. by the time they realize what they need to do its already getting difficult.
Investing is putting away something today for a brighter future.
I think some kind of investment need to be part of the budget for each month.
It may seem difficult at the moment but when the rewards come it is time to celebrate.
The supposed difficulty is what I am trying to address in this post. I believe the whole process can be less difficult if we structure our plans well. For instance, spending 10 minutes of each hour in a day on hive (reading and comment) might seem less threatening than spending hours straight consuming content. My point: you can structure your seemingly difficult tasks in a way that is less overwhelming allowing you to achieve great feats almost effortlessly.

Awesome! devicing a food routine for your goals is what everyone should take into action, investment on the other hand is not bad as you said because while investing it serves also as measure to rehearse on what channels you should go Into or make projection upon.
There have been times when investing is fun and there have been times when investing is not so fun 🤣👍 Thank you for your toughts, very informative!
Starting is always the difficult part I think. Once you get into the flow it becomes intuitive.
