It's Not a Lack of Discipline | Patrick Gruber | TEDxBruneck

Many projects start with enthusiasm and are dropped after a few weeks. In this TEDxBruneck talk, Patrick Gruber compares why he has stuck with programming, Spanish and Muay Thai while other things fell by the wayside. He argues that the problem is not a lack of discipline but two factors that each person can influence. Gruber grew up in Lana and has worked as a digital nomad since 2021.

• Why projects are often abandoned after two months
• Personal examples: programming, Spanish, Muay Thai
• Motivation, learning and procrastination

Sprach-App, Skiausrüstung, Gitarre: Vieles fangen wir an und lassen es nach zwei Monaten wieder liegen. Patrick Gruber hat an seinem eigenen Leben verglichen, was ihn beim Programmieren, beim Spanischlernen und beim Muay Thai hat dranbleiben lassen und was nicht. Sein Talk über Motivation, Lernen und Aufschieben zeigt, dass es nicht an mangelnder Disziplin liegt, sondern an zwei Dingen, die jeder selbst in der Hand hat. Patrick Gruber grew up in Lana and has called the world his home as a digital nomad since 2021. Professionally he builds software, privately he collects languages, experiences and people he would otherwise never have met. And when he comes back, you will find him up on a mountain with some good speck. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
