I am like that too. I need to push myself towards creation every single day, otherwise I slip into the consumption trap (still happens once in a while).
This is what helps me:
- Think backwards. How many years do you have left? How many days? Time is running, we only get to live once
- Stop consuming in the morning. Instead of checking emails, news etc on your smartphone, I get up and write down all the things I want to do the day. Then I start working on the top items
- Enjoy traction. Once you release something you'll get hooked on the data. How many people like my post? What's the feedback I receive. When I see that there is traction, I get excited and I enjoy interacting with the community
Btw: You are already contributing :) Look at the feedback here.
