How to qquickly get out of a rut?

Sources:

To quickly get out of a rut, it is valuable to intensify your observation of the surroundings and personal feelings. This approach was shared by Robert Greene and discussed as the idea of "death ground," which originates from his book on strategic thinking, inspired by Sun Tzu's principles. The concept of "death ground" involves creating a sense of urgency as if your success was necessary for survival. This urgency enables you to access otherwise untapped reserves of energy and focus, akin to a life-or-death situation. This strategy can be particularly effective when you feel backed into a corner and need to muster all resources to overcome a challenge or achieve a goal 1.

Robert Greene discusses the concept of "death ground" and how it can be a powerful motivator. When faced with urgency or deadlines, we tap into a hidden reserve of energy and focus. By recognizing the reality of limited time, we can harness this sense of urgency to achieve our goals.
