My bad, sounds like a good plan indeed. Though Polish chicks are hot, you're gonna have some serious competition there.Adsolution wrote:To clarify, I was referring to, for instance, having an online production job.

You probably need goals. Before that, you need to choose a goal you actually want to comitt to. If you don't know what you want, experiment with plenty of things until you find what you like. I think you have high motivation when it comes to things that give fuel your interest, and you seem to be doing things because you must, which doesn't give you energy. It sucks you dry. No pun intended. Since you seem to like gaming (since you are a fellow Rayman Fan), maybe you might like making video games, drawing, making music, etc. Honestly, I've screwed myself for not focusing on activities in high school and instead focused on super smash bros melee. Sure, you can make a goal to become the best in melee, but will it benefit you in any way? Think of down the line. I spent all this time on tournaments and now it's not really paying off, I think.nr0r wrote:I honestly just have the hardest time engaging in anything, and I mean absolutely anything.

Yeah at this current point in time I've set a goal to create a Rayman fancomic and eventually have a sustainable Patreon following. The tasks are daunting, but I've always wanted to be an artist as a child, freelance in fact, and I even showed the interested since I first picked up a pencil. My mom and dad swear they ran out of paper constantly and had to supply me with an art desk, even when I was just three years old. Crazy, right?neo wrote:Good stuff.

Make sure you:
1. Set a goal. Make sure that you set a goal you truly care about. Be true to yourself.
2. Make small steps. These are important, as they work.
3. Keep a consistent effort. It'll help you establish a rhythm and momentum, and it'll propel you further.
4. Establish group support. If you start to become weak, let the group support kick in. Let them help you stay accountable.
5. Repeat 2-4 for each goal you set until you reach it. Be patient. With effort comes results.
Hue, what a dedicated young flanus. I would to love to take a gap year and just learn/do beneficial things for a while, but unforbunaly im gravitating more towards earning bucks.Adsolution wrote:Yeah, exactly. If I'm not spending at least 14 hours a day, six days a week working on or learning something, I'm a waste of fucking space. YouTube videos or games or whatever are the day's-end reward, when I feel both accomplished and braindead enough to know for certain that my time would literally not be spent better doing anything else.Of course, that doesn't mean I'll always enjoy what I'm doing, but that has nothing to do with boredom.

Well that's precisely why I'm aspiring to become a journalist. Working purely for self-interest and financial reasons seems like a really suffocating lifestyle, I need an outlet to express myself and more specifically I want to do something that serves a bigger purpose than affording food. I don't really want to sit around and complain about politics on the internet anymore - I'd like to go in and actually influence themXenon wrote:I don't think chasing money is a meaningful goal to have, in this context.

Unless you mean like, hardcore blogging, but I don't know how you would find employment in that.

I guess it depends on whether you're chasing money for itself or to buy yourself a lifestyle you look forward to.Xenon wrote:I don't think chasing money is a meaningful goal to have, in this context. Better to work on your experiences, skills and knowledge in my opinion.

If you want my thought on this, I'd say Swedish girls looks better, but it's only my opinion though.Adsolution wrote:Well, we'll see once I begin!Hunchman801 wrote:Though Polish chicks are hot, you're gonna have some serious competition there.
