20-Year-Old Adrià Pujol to Deliver 'Get Shit Done' Talk on Atomic Habits for Youth

Adrià Pujol, a 20-year-old from La Massana studying business administration, will deliver a talk on Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Roc Blanc titled *Get shit done*. The event targets young people struggling to find their purpose in life, a challenge Pujol says many face.

Pujol argues that achieving big goals requires consistent effort, even when it's tedious. "If you want to become a millionaire, you have to work on a project that gets you there—you won't do it by scrolling TikTok," he says. He rejects radical overhauls as unsustainable, given human limits on emotions and mental capacity. Instead, he advocates "atomic habits"—small daily changes that yield massive long-term results. For instance, to build an active lifestyle, skip the elevator rather than committing to 90-minute daily workouts.

He identifies emotional barriers like resistance and mental blocks, urging self-awareness and mental health care. Yet he points to modern distractions as major obstacles, declaring that "social networks are what have killed the most dreams today." The brain craves comfort from reels and TikTok over productive action.

Procrastination isn't inherently bad, Pujol notes, but understanding its cause matters: Is it genuine rest or short-term ease? He uses the angel-and-devil metaphor—the angel seeks long-term well-being, the devil instant gratification. Distinguishing them requires a clear purpose or dream. "Live in the present while looking to the future," he says, an tricky balance.

Pujol shares his own journey: addicted to video games, he later swung to extremes, rising at 5 a.m., training daily, and eating perfectly healthy. University performance suffered, leading to a crash. He eventually found equilibrium—pursuing dreams while prioritizing rest and recovery.

His core message to youth: Unlock everyone's innate potential, but enjoy the process along the way.
