Our reptilian brain is deceiving you.

​

“It’s just one day, it won’t matter” — justifying the break of positive habits or slipping into old behaviors.

“I’m sure it won’t take that long” — the illusion of optimism that makes us underestimate the effort certain tasks will require.

“I’m not good enough” — self-sabotage disguised as humility that’s actually fear of failure or of being judged.

​

If you listen to it, you are living in the caves.

​

The worst of all these tricks of your brain to assure your survival – not that you thrive – is probably the fallacy of the future time.
​
​

It’s that inner voice whispering that tomorrow you’ll have more time.
That later everything will be calmer.
That next week, yes, finally, you’ll be able to focus on what really matters.

​

So…

Today, you don’t call that friend you haven’t seen in months — too busy.
Today, you don’t have lunch with your parents — deadline’s looming.
Today, you don’t sit down with your partner to talk — too exhausted.

​

But don’t worry, your brain tells you.
Tomorrow will be easier, better, more doable.
Tomorrow your mind will be clearer. Tomorrow will be perfect.
Tomorrow, yes.

​

Jodido brain.

Cabronzuelo.

​

Between one tomorrow and the next, life slips by.
Relationships cool off.
Silences grow longer.

​
And one day, without realizing it, you notice that the people who truly mattered… just aren’t that close anymore.

​

Not because something big happened.

Not because you argued.

​
Just because you weren’t there.

​
You were doing other things, somewhere else, thinking you'd have time tomorrow — in the future.

​

Apply this to business.

Apply this to personal growth.

Apply this to your career path.

​

Mañana, mañana, mañana.

​

After siesta, fiesta, paella, and the Morancos, probably the most known words in Spanish language.

Mañana (tomorrow).

​

The Fallacy of Future Time is comfortable, because it lets you postpone today’s discomfort.

​

Your jodido brain is making you spend your life putting out meaningless fires instead of setting up a life where you actually have space for what matters.
