What the fuck are you on about I have a great capacity to keep focus on the Christopher Walken's now classic cameo in Annie Hall which seemed to cement his reputation as a "creepy" character actors despite his years of proficient work in musical theater

Yeah yeah I know, whatever.
Fact is I can develop and maintain full-fledged software projects by myself, I can make websites, fix shit, buildout shit, whatever, doesn't matter. Point is, where there's work there's money. I just have zero motivation and am an apathetic shit, so I'm trying to fix that.
In particular I'm shit at talking to people, I don't want to be mean so I don't say anything, which is probably counter-productive.
My sleep schedule is fucking whack, probably because I have like a million shitty hobbies and the last one of the day is always shitposting. Maybe I should cut that out?
Gimme some advice here xD

i am the exact same mate. I'm cursed to be as productive as my less capable friends because they have work ethic to work all week and i only muster the discipline to work one day a week. I've given up on self discipline i can't physically do it in mentally weak. maybe adderrall could help i never took them though I'm diagnosed with ADHD. it sucks that the only advice for this is to just do it because I'll never have the motivation to do anything

laziness is genetic too. you can overcome only so far, usually only by A MUST. if you dont have to, you wont.

mad skills can still win even without the work ethic, if you're a truly master

firstly without work ethic you can truly only achieve a fraction of your potential regardless of how good you are (it may be enough to be in the 99th percentile but you could have been a miracle in your field for instance) and secondly where did you get the genetics part? any reputable study? no shitty sociological studies please

Got your rent and food sorted?

Then get up in the morning. Put those headphones on. Get that music (or white noise) going. Do The One Thing for six hours.

Being talented is overrated nowadays. No one cares how good your basket weaving is.

If you can somehow convince a million people to pay $100 for your organic straw basket to help child molestation victims in Cambodia, THEN it's a success.

What is it people thinking they're super smart, just lazy, and that's why they aren't moving forward?

It's always people who are a little above average, yet seem to think they are savants. Reminds me of kids who are always told they're great at drawing, and so they believe they have a true gift, then they go to art school and realise everyone else is good at drawing too, and they are nothing special.

You don't have mad skills, you are just smarter than your retarded group of friends, go find the actual intelligent people in academia and industry and you will realise what a small fish in a big pond you are.
