Is anyone else’s biggest problem procrastination?

yes, its a dopamine cycle.

My biggest probably is not getting a gf when I was in high school

>>105971502
Dopamine is a jewish conspiracy

>>105971486 (OP)
Procrastination? More like porn and masturbation.

>>105971486 (OP)
It was back when I actually had free time. These days I'll work all day on my various projects and still never see the end of them. But back then I lacked the creative vision I have now, as stupid as that might sound. It's a real shame, because I really had time to burn, and I wasted it on video games.

no. mine is that nothing that can be done in reality can be as good as i can imagine so why bother.

>>105971635
Perfect is the enemy of the good, as they say.

>>105971634
Same here anon. I legitimately thought things were gonna be okay when I got older.
Instead of wasting my time on vidya I now waste it distro hopping and downloading vidya as some glorified stress test.
A bit of Minecraft with the boys does help a little.

My biggest problem is being born in a shit world that rewards evil and has no goal one can set that is existentially meaningful, God doesnt give a shit, women are all hypergamous, progeny doesnt really matter in the long run etc.

So I opted to enjoy my hobbies instead and not give a shit about anything else.

procrastinating what?

>>105971770
Kind of everything but since we are on g, tech stuff. Its funny because if i would just sit down, power through and avoid getting distracted on a break, then ill spend the whole day working, but of course it doesnt translate to being productive the very next day. No im not add

it's just a matter of intertia. Action begets action. It's hard to break the cycle if you have an extended period of time being a lazy fuck but just do something small.

>>105971486 (OP)
My biggest problem is my oversized penis but procrastination is a close second.

hey how about we get over this protestant work ethic. youre not even protestant nigger.

>>105971486 (OP)
Skill issue.

>>105972088

>>105972256
id like to shake and bake some meth but just dab a little bit like rub it on my gums and thats it.

>>105972314
Well you’re hecking valid or something

I in part fixed this problem by learning to manipulate myself. Since the rational part of my brain is often not in control, I have to find ways to make the rest of my brain obey it.

There's a bunch of techniques you can try depending on the situation and what you're like. What helps me the most is having a reward, like playing games, at the end of the day, but only if I was productive. Another thing I do is break down what I'm trying to do in steps in my head and set out to do only a very small 2 minute task.

>>105971486 (OP)
Probably. I keep meaning to reflect on if there's a bigger problem, but I haven't gotten around to it

>>105971486 (OP)
Yeah.

I have lots of great ideas. Lots of small projects to begin on. Lots of things in the backlog to finish.

Every day I wake up, and the first thing I do is browse YouTube for 5 hours straight.
Whenever I get bored, I switch to 4chan, and life just repeats itself.
Day in, and day out.

No school, no job, no friends, and nothing to wake up to.
I'm 30 and still live with my parents, feeding myself off of their retirement wage.

I used to run a big website, with 3 million monthly visitors, but after things got boring, I let it all fade into obscurity.

Some things are impossible to procrastinate, so I make sure to do these.
But if I encounter the smallest set-back, I immediately lose interest, and let things drag on for way too long.

I know I could've been something great by now.
I got the intelligence to become someone well known.
But I'm too lazy to actually get shit done. A curse I will forever be let down by.

>>105972500
Get a tard rangler. They will focus you and cause you to work instead.

>>105972500
look at the flip side. You coukd get a lot done but still maje no money.

>>105972500
Did that website bring in any income?

>>105972511
>tard rangler
I'm not retarded. Quite the opposite actually.
In school I got straight A's, which let me skip over subjects way too easy.
Never did my homework, yet was still able to answer any question asked.
This led to even more laziness - why bother doing shit, when you can get by regardless.

I got into a big weed addiction, at a young age.
It affected my mental state a lot, yet I was still able to get by.
In high school things started closing in on me, and grades started dropping drastically.
Worse yet was my absence from school. I graduated with over a third of the year in absence leave.
Yet I still finished. Because I'm not stupid. Just lazy.

>>105972514
Money is not a driving factor for me.
I come from a middle-class family, who has set up well here in life.
I've never wanted to be rich. I just want to be known.

When I was a kid, I could spend hours on Wikipedia, looking through articles of random and obscure people.
I always wanted to be on there myself. To be deemed known enough, for someone else to write an article about me.

But as time has gone by, I've accepted the fact that this will never become a reality.
I wanted to leave a mark on this world, and I've already done so, in the form of snapshots on the WaybackMachine.

>>105972569
Yes, I was making ~$1000/m from the site.
800k registered users, though with a fraction being paying members.

The site was a pet-project, that grew into something substantial.
It was never meant to become my main source of income, though I could've easily made it so, if I actually got around to doing the stuff I wanted.

My Trello board still has hundreds of feature cards, that just waited for me to implement them. Unfortunately it never happened.

I've thought about restarting the site, but as time goes by, the users has also moved on.
It would require a lot of work to get it back, but it wouldn't be impossible.
Unfortunately the only thing holding me back in myself.

>>105971486 (OP)
I would say lack of motivation and general self-hatred.

>>105972628
Yea, you need that tard rangler. You're the type smart with ideas and make cool shit, but without someone to contrast them or give a spark, you fall prey to your own bias and eventually get stuck in your own ass or refuse to believe you're actually just producing mediocre garbage.

American schools pass people long as they don't stick crayons up their nose, so little wonder that would put you off on driving yourself and meeting actual challenges.

Its great you don't need money to drive you or the typical "jews fucked me over from my life of riches".

>>105972727
I.e procrastination

>>105971634
I feel like the opposite, and now am regretting wasting my time.

>>105972752
>Yea, you need that tard rangler.
Respectively, I still disagree with this.

A wrangler is only needed, if you are incapable of living life yourself.
While I do live with my parents now, I did move out for a couple of years, and even though my apartment was a mess, and I rarely took any showers, I still managed to get by.

What I really need, I guess, is a GF to help with giving me the things you listed.
I had one, 10 years ago, but she broke my heart to the point of me becoming depressed, which I've never been able to recover from.

>refuse to believe you're actually just producing mediocre garbage.
Don't worry, I'm very aware that I'm a useless piece of shit.
My site was held together with bandages and tape. Enough for it to work, but impossible for other people to collab on it.
But even the site we're on, right now, also falls into this category.
You don't have to make something good, for it to become great.

>American schools pass people long as they don't stick crayons up their nose, so little wonder that would put you off on driving yourself and meeting actual challenges.
I'm not American though. Thankfully.
I was in a private school from age 10, though they obviously didn't manage to pull their weight, in terms of stipulating me mentally.

Also, I really appreciate the (You)'s you're dropping on me.
First time in years that I've felt so welcomed, whilst dropping my emotional garbage on here.

>>105972753
That's not what procrastination means, you donut.

>>105972896
>getting a job when 1gb is worth a penny
the chinese made getting a job pointless

>>105972899
That’s essentially what it is for everyone itt.

I'd call it more dopamine cycle than anything. right now I work from home, which only requires 8ish hours of actual attention a week. I'm deep into AI but I never really make anything other than endless 1girl slop. Maybe this week will be different.
the thing that kills me about procrastination is that there are different levels. When I get sick of 1girl gens I'll start cleaning to avoid making shit I actually want to make. I found myself vacuuming my ceiling fan the other afternoon and had one of those 'what the actual fuck am I doing?' moments.

>>105972951
No, it literally means postergation, nothing more. This isn't open to discussion.

>>105972088
Rits to break through procrastination wall.
Adderal for the long term grind and focus afterwards.
Not both at once ofc.

>>105973008
Autist-kun…

>>105971502
ADHD.

>>105972071
Same.

>>105972628
You're literally me. Go get your ADHD diagnosed and medicated (you won't though, because procrastination and probably also anxiety).

>>105973376
I wonder what adhd niggas did 100 years ago before the diagnosis even

>>105973376
I looked up a few articles about ADHD, and was shocked to see the similarities to my life.
Personally I've always seen it as a "designers diagnose". Seemingly everyone is diagnosed with it these days, in order to have a scapegoat for their problems.

But maybe there's something to it, after all, and I should look into getting my life sorted.
Unfortunately you're probably right with your second statement. It took me 5 years to finally get glasses, and only after nearly being involved in a car accident.

>>105971486 (OP)
Maybe but the only time I ever seem to think I have a problem with it is if I run up against a deadline and realize how much time I wasted in the time leading up to it.

I have gotten better about things with deadlines, but still pretty bad.
For example, today i decided to finally look at the summer reading my math professor recommended, and I can't get 2 paragraphs in without getting the urge to post a screenshot of the book on 4chan so i can appear smart

>>105973524
Theres a lot of conditions that overlap with adhd symptoms, such as anxiety

>>105971691
Anon, I just wanted to interject and say that I know exactly what you feel, as I feel the same.

The world feels fake, evil and gay. I've always envisioned having a family, but, as you say, hypergamy. All married men I have seen have gotten divorce raped sometime down the line, even if it's 20 years later

>>105973524
ADHD has so many symptoms that literally anything could be ADHD as long as you "have trouble focusing" (procrastinate)

>>105971486 (OP)
No. My attention span is.

>>105971486 (OP)
No, it's porn addiction

>>105973524
i am sorry to inform you that ADD and ADHD do not exist. unfortunately you chose to be born in a timeline where your problem does not have a correct medical prognosis nor a solution. only capitalistic memes with no real substantial studies that they effectively work. this is similar to how we thought it was always OK to smoke on airplanes, put lead in paint and cutting boards, prescribe alcohol and opioids for body pain, and willy nilly just shoved asbestos into wall insulation, all just a short era ago. humanity is still paying for all of these fucked up missteps and you need to pay attention.
you will be given walls of doctors and therapists that just want your insurance money to prescribe you pills that do not work.
you will be prescribed amphetamines. any brain will respond to amphetamines, not just yours. you will not enjoy this experience. it will fuck you up and in the end not make you better.

you do not have a problem, but you secretly wish it was, so that it could be prescribed a solution, that some jewish fucker could sell to you.
i am your personal devil here to tell you thanks, for signing up for life, but you are shit out of luck guessing whatever the fuck this is that's causing you trouble, but imaginary solutions and prayer are not how you get to the other side of it.

maybe try jogging or bicycling or someshit, it's nice outside right now. you can also get addicted to crack for all the fuck i care, but seriously, just don't buy what these niggers are selling you.

>>105974441
Its just an attention regulation shortfall isnt it?

>>105974441
i was put on ritalin as a kid and i hated it. kills your appetite and dulled the senses. i've been off it for 25 years and i still feel like the dullness never went away
i admit i was a bit too hyperactive before i went on it, but the complete opposite is really no better

>>105974441
Thank god I only used stims a handful of times.

>>105974441
If you read my post thoroughly, you'd realize I was saying exactly just this.
>Personally I've always seen it as a "designers diagnose". Seemingly everyone is diagnosed with it these days, in order to have a scapegoat for their problems.

The reason for me putting it this way, was that my long time friend recently got "diagnosed" with ADHD, and now his world seems to evolve around this.
He used to be bullied, all through school, and now sits alone in his apartment and smokes his bong all day.
"It's because of my diagnose, Anon. This is why things have always been bleak."

I stopped listening to him, after the first 1½ hour lecture about his ADHD.

That being said, I'm still intrigued by the positives of stimulants.
I have tried amphetamines before - both in its pure form, but also in Ritalin (Adder-all) pills crushed up.
If there's a magic pill, to make the procrastination go away, I'd still put my bets on this being the one.
We used it for partying, whilst drunk, but I could definitely see how it could have a positive effect on productivity.

Your words were not in vain though, and I definitely hear what both you, as well as >>105974572 are saying.
I will not pursue this further, at least not for the time being.

>>105974636
don't kill yourself tonight because you're drunk or whatever
you'll be fine tomorrow
just fuck off and wake up again no thread required

So many jewish psychiatrists in this thread trying to hook everyone on ADHD meds. Whats your fucking problem? There is no golden fucking ticket out of procrastination. You will pay for adhd meds just like every other pharmaceutical promised fix. You can alter your brain without fucking medication.

>>105971486 (OP)
Nothing is easy or straight forward any more
>long hours
>Meager relative wage
>Have to constantly keep up with technology
>Perpetually fearful that you're going to get shit-canned

Yeah, I wouldn't blame you for not wanting to get out of bed in the morning...

>>105974855
Is it really a danger if you sparsely pop one?

>>105974855
Depending where you are, or what you're doing, there's always someone richer, more influential than you making terrible fucking decisions, all out of the need for wealth or power. Even if you live in a sane, progressive country, you still have to deal with assholes shitting up the world.

>>105974855
>There is no golden fucking ticket out of procrastination.
There is, and it's fairly cheap to run too.

>>105972500
my head is definitely clearer as a neet
i exercise and go into nature and i'm able to do stuff and delve deeper than ever before
nothing seems undoable only money is a problem

>>105974919
Well i did end up getting a little bit coding practice done at least

Regular exercise in the form of swimming and running fixes all of the problems ITT.

my biggest is being a fat pig which makes me unattractive to prime pussy.

To defeat procrastination, just remove the distractions, go to a library, break your computer, buy a dumb phone or apply the minimum viable action principle. Or even take your fucking meds, meth, adderal, modafinil

Procrastination is a non issue, it has been solved, literally.

>>105975300
>my biggest is being a fat pig
not a problem for me, i'm such a big procrastinator that often i don't bother eating, so a lot of meals get skipped

nah, it's just not giving a shit anymore

>>105973524
>Seemingly everyone is diagnosed with it these days, in order to have a scapegoat for their problems
That's retarded normie-think. They can't see outside of their own bubble, so everything they don't directly relate to is "made up excuses". This is despite the fact you can literally measure the deficit in brain activity in that part of the brain.

>>105971486 (OP)
Pomodoro technique.

>>105974123
That's not overlap it's resultant, due to basic things normies find effortless being overwhelming for ADHDfags.

>>105973524
There's a simple trick to dodge the whole "it's an excuse" meme that normie retards will feed you. If the meds work, it's a real thing. End of story. So try them before you you acquiesce to the normie crabs in a bucket slop. Their problem is low IQ, not low executive function.

>>105973350
More like OCD. Failure to take on anything without a complete set of plans mapped out.

>>105976118
this. I don't want to "succeed" at this point, I've seen enough. I just want all this shit to be over, everything.

go to the gym bro. Take walks in the sun

It's a lack of discipline.
Of course playing video games now is more fun than learning a new skill or working on a personal project that perhaps can be monetized (like trying to create some useful mobile app or an online store). And you understand that all those games do is take time away from you.
What you need is a strict rule that shall not be broken, for example "Every day, if I am home between 7:00 pm and 8:30 pm, I will use this time to practice C++. My goal is to create a Doom-like first-person-shooter game.". And that's it. There's a timeslot, there is a condition "I'm home" and a goal. Now all you have to do is start and follow through.
It's only 90 minutes a day. Can you put the game down for 90 minutes?

>>105971486 (OP)
I like daydreaming more than I like living. My biggest problem is lack of money and status good enough to exploit my potential without struggling like a fucking nigger though. That's generally what it boils down to. You don't get exploited by cheap dopamine treadmills like a dumb fucking nigger if you're not exposed to them in the first place because you're not from the dumb gorilla nigger caste.
That said I like video games for centering myself desu

>>105971486 (OP)
Money aside, my problem is that I keep failing. And I try again the next day, but I fail again. I won't give up, but I'm running out of time.

Story of my life.

https://youtu.be/fzQCImizlQM

My main problem has always been a complete lack of passion.
I get these short term interests that many times border into obsession and then I wake up one day and I don't care about them anymore.
Also never had any goal in life, I just go through the motions. When I change jobs or take on a new challenge I do it out of childish wanderlust.
