I love how Ruff gives us new insights, when he learns something he shares it with us. And it really gets me thinking too.

It's same for meditation. People meditate 10 minutes or 20 minutes everyday but they are not improving. I started improving my meditation skill when I started counting how much I can focus on my breath and I always tried to beat my high score.

"just show up" is only for those who are starting out. the next level after that requires showing up—AND something harder than just showing up.

True man.. It's like there are different stages, the work or showing up gets you to a certain stage, but you have to break through the stages to improve to be better at it...

"just show up" isnt an advice for everybody, its for people who are in a situation so difficult they can't even get out of the house once you get to the point where showing up is no longer an issue then you can proceed and improve, but some people take slower steps or are in different phases in life and it's necessary to take that into account and acknowledge when advice is aimed at you and when it isn't

Consistency is important to maintain your strength, while pushing yourself is going to increase it.

Agreed and u have a high typing speed urself mine is still 50 wpm and I am unable to go higher coz I don't type regularly anymore. If anybody is interested in typing, typingclub is an excellent website to learn and increase typing speed 😃

"Just show up" doesn't work [after a certain point]
Here's a question - How many hours a day do you type?
I type more than most people do. In school, I'm typing. At home, I'm writing YouTube videos. But interestingly enough, my typing speed has never increased. It's always been about 100-110 wpm. Why?
Because 'just show up' isn't enough. It can get you to a certain point but afterwards, you stop improving. If it were true then I would consistently get faster and faster and SO WOULD YOU - But it doesn't work like that even though you type every single day.
If 'just show up' were true then some random 60 year old accountant who's typed his whole life would have the world's fastest typing speed but no.
He can show up everyday but it's not about that. You need to actually put in specific time and attention, do typing tests everyday and look at your words per minute and try to get it higher. What inspired this post is actually one of my students in my coaching who is learning how to type faster and he shares his typing test results every once in a while.
10 minutes of deliberate challenge > 1 hour of mindless repetition [aka showing up]
So if you are not making progress in life, ask yourself this. Are you GENUINELY testing yourself or just showing up?
