So... what keeps you guys motivated to do things?

Now, this isn't a Naru-is-emo thread, but rather about productivity. It's gone down the shitter really.

What made me concerned is that I stayed up until 4AM last night writing a 3 page paper due that morning, just three fucking pages!

I didn't get shit done during the summer either. I haven't exercised in 2 months, I've stopped learning how to play the guitar, I only managed to get to chapter 3 of Catch-22, I never finished a song on Fruity Loops, I'm too lazy to get my driver's license, (I didn't pick up women), and the list goes on.

I think I know why I've turned into an unproductive spic. Unlike the past, it's not really about self-esteem. I'm pretty confident and optimistic about most things.

The thing is, I like trying out new things, and when I get the hang of them, I simply look for other things to try out. Also, my body's reward system is fucked up. I don't like punishing myself nor do I follow checklists or set goals. It's practically nonexistent. Just typing that out makes me think I have ADHD or something.

I can't stay like this for long, I know this will hurt me in the long run when shit gets real.

So yeah... how do you guys get your shit done? How do I chagne my mindset? Do I need to hit up Kreay Kreay for baggie full of Adderalls?

The key for me is making sure I get the appropriate distractions in life in that enable me to do the important shit.

But for me, getting girls and reading books are two of the distractions I depend on...

But yeah I struggle with these things too. Last year I left a lot of my college work until the last minute.

I am rarely motivated to do things. I too kept my uni work until last minute. If I'd have any motivation I would have done a million times better.

Took me a while to actually make this topic really

Oh yeah Fruity Loops is pretty easy, equalizing and mastering the shit seems hard though, you gotta know your soundwaves and stuff

yeah, it's easy enough to make something with it, but difficult to make anything half decent

So i'm thinking about going back to school, uni that is.
I have to pass a admissions test in order to get in though.

I don't make enough money right now, i work hard but don't get the wages i feel are fair for the amount of work i put in. Also i have a steady 16 hr p. week contract being a money collector for Brink's armoured car services. At first this was no problem there was plenty of work and i usually put in 40, and atleast 32 hrs p. week. Right now with the recession and there being a smaller cashflow cause of modernization, i've been putting in 24 hrs p. week at times.
That's not the biggest problem though i don't see myself doing manual labour or - with all due respect - mind numbing work, i classify this job as such.
So i want to go back to school, don't know wether it'll be fulltime with a job on the side to make ends meet. Or the other way around obviously.
