Is this procrastination or being lazy or what?

Sound like a millennial .

I manage several of them, and we work on prioritization as well as finding one positive thing in everything they do.

Positive reinforcement goes along way toward satisfaction and sustained growth.

Happy holidays.

 

I am retired and have so many intrest in different subjects I don't know what will strike my fancy any given day.
I am somewhat obcessed with doing things myself.

 

I recommend signing up with a structured course, either on line or at a college, where you would follow an instructor's direction. As long as you're committed to staying up with the coursework, and utilizing the teacher for extra support when needed, you should be successful.

Another alternative, for learning a language, would be to purchase Babbel or Rosetta Stone that are prepackaged, self-teaching courses. These seem to be successful for many. Also, once you progress far enough in a particular language, I would recommend enrolling in a class that offers conversational instruction.

Good luck, and have fun!

 

sounds to me like your happy and content. stop telling yourself you need/want to do these things, and wasting money on them.

enjoy the net, there's much to be learned here as well

 

@Higgins909 I clicked on your avatar, expecting to see an age 40~50. I'd say you're pretty self-aware for a 22 year old, and it'll fall into place, don't need to sweat it.

Think of it like a Sudoku: you cannot burrow in at any one spot, solve it. It takes a patience, a nudge here and there, and gradually the pieces come together.

 

You probably have ADD look it up be honest with your symptoms.

There are various levels of ADD too. Once you know you can be aware of it and try to focus better.

ADD affects everything in your life.

 

Ahhh. P vs. NP.

Can get $1M for solving it, if you can.....

 

Advice on motorcycles:
Take an MSF course first....even if you’ve been “riding all your life.”
Trust me...
Advice on scooters:
Remember that they’re more dangerous than motorcycles because people on both sides of the handlebars do not respect them as much.

When you get to be an old fart like me and you look back over the arc that your life has taken you will probably wish that you had saved a little more for retirement, eaten a little better, spent more time with family and friends, but mostly just reveling in the pure joy of having more days in front of the windshield than in the rear-view-mirror.

Try not to spend too many of those days worrying about little stuff....cause when you get to this side of the field?
You find out that most of it was.

Tried to read Potter twice, and the second time I cheated by getting all of the books from the library in unabridged audio.

They’re right next to Pride and Prejudice in the Unread folder on my computer....
Maybe third time’s the charm.


....There’s still time yet.

 

Try Cormac McCarthy.

 

Excellent advice!

 

John Lennon sang, "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans".

I've found this to be often very true.
So I don't worry about sometimes missing the ideal things I might think I "plan" or should do.

That being said?
Whatever it is you want to do? Read that book, learn a second language, learn anything new....
If you REALLY want to do it? DO IT.

But don't stress out, if something comes up and distracts you from the end. Just persevere if it's important enough to you.
The key IMO is it has to be important enough to you.
Also, I don't think you can do everything you might plan or want to do at once. But pick 1 goal, that you do want to accomplish, and organize a time and approach to actually doing it. Don't let yourself be distracted. It can be as simple as saying, I'm reading 20 minutes a day of this book....every day.
Once you get into, whatever it is,- you might find it's a lot easier to do, or a lot more engrossing than you think. My problem is sometimes once I get into a book or series of books, it can actually dominate my time.
Also, sometimes if you give an earnest attempt at something, you can discover that it's just really something you don't want to do. I think we'd all like to be able to speak multiple languages, or play a musical instrument BUT some of us just don't have the time, or the real fundamental reason or motivation to do so.
I tend to think if something REALLY is important enough, we then find ways to get it done. If we can't really get past the 1st chapter of the Language Book? Maybe learning that language isn't as important to us as we thought?

A little bit of organization, can go a long way to actually getting things done.
The answer can be as simple as determining how important the challenge actually is to you, and then NOT procrastinating about doing it. And organizing a way to get it done.

Forgive yourself if you discover something you thought you wanted to do, really isn't something you want to do.
