Overheard a guy at the gym say 'there is no such thing as a free lunch'

I was at Planet Fitness last week and this older guy was talking to a trainer. He said 'there is no such thing as a free lunch, you always have to put in the work somewhere.' And it kind of stuck with me. I have been trying to learn guitar for like 6 months now and I kept looking for shortcuts. I bought a fancy app and watched a ton of YouTube videos but I barely practiced. So I finally sat down for 20 minutes every day this week and I can already play 2 chords cleanly. Has anyone else found that just showing up every day works better than looking for the perfect method?

Tbh I spent 3 months trying to find the perfect workout playlist instead of actually lifting anything.

Same here @the_gray, I once spent a whole weekend making a gym playlist and never actually hit the gym.
