You don't need motivation to do a task. If everyone waited to feel motivated to do something then no one would ever accomplish anything.

You need a routine. Humans are very good with schedules and routines. If you can turn your task into just another part of your daily routine then it starts to become a familiar part of your day and you just do it.

Look at how many hours of the day that you have to work with and then make a daily schedule that includes practice time for the goals you want to accomplish. Now force yourself to just do it, even if you don't feel motivated.

Pretty much this.
Ever since I started to force myself to do my reps every day, I usually get them done, whether I want to or not.

Also, don't rely on medication. I've been taking Vyvance, and while I feel great for around two and a half hours, it's followed by severe depression. By that point, I can't even force myself to use the computer anymore. But hey, at least I can get my reps done.

I have no motivation. Daily tasks are very difficult for me, e.g., making lunch, showering, brushing my teeth. Not that I can't do them, of course, but I just don't care.

I might recommend Python for those who want to take it easy. A lot of code has already be written for you in the standard libraries, and the syntax is a real relief from writing C code.

For Python, I recommend ”Dive into Python3”, or, alternatively, “Think like a Computer Scientist“, found here:
http://openbookproject.net/thinkcs/python/english3e/way_of_the_program.html

If you insist on learning C (which is much more low-level and insists on having you work close to the metal of your computer), try K&R's “The C Programming Language”.

If you ever get frustrated, just go with Python, and if you ever need help, come to the Daily Programming Thread on /g/, where we're all quite friendly.

Here's something that helped me. Go into your bathroom, stand on your toilet, and piss into your sink. Don't think about it, just get up right now and do it.

If you can do something as outlandish and absurd as that then why can't you study something? What physical limitation do you have that prevents you from studying or doing a task? Why is that task any different than pissing into your sink? It both requires an active effort.

It assumes some programming knowledge, but only very rudimentary stuff. If you can figure out what a statement like "x = x + 1" means, you're good to go (I think that's the example used in the book).

They do a code-first-explanation-later method of teaching, and as you get into it you can see it works well. It might not be for you though, and there are books out there that'll teach you the theory first then get to the code. The idea behind K&R is to get you writing programs straight away.

Amphetamines are good, but they don't give you motivation. They just make you lock onto whatever task you're doing, you still have to push yourself and take the first step, otherwise you just hyperfocus on the first thing you think of like meticulously cleaning yourself for hours in the shower or masturbating all afternoon.

dopamine is for addiction, the rush you get from wanting to do something, and is long lasting. Like wanting to light a smoke for hours even though you know it's going to give you cancer, doing it anyway and regretting it but then it's too late.

Amphetamine is the rush from feeling good or accomplishing something, and is very short term. Like eating a cookie, having an orgasm, and the moment when you first light up a cigarrete.
Short, and ultimately not as strong as dopamine for most people. Which is why most people enjoy the chase more than the reward.

You need to realize that learning, learning something you want to do, is in and of itself a reward already.

And I mean learning properly, right from the basics, not looking for shortcuts, step by step, realizing you're in it for the long haul - this is REALLY important.

The sheer satisfaction of finally starting to do something, of taking control of your life, even if it's just this single way, is a great feeling, particularly if like me you spent good couple years either not doing anything or doing everything half-assedly.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9047115
For me the most satisfactory is doing nothing at all or doing as little as possible.

[Anonymous No.]

You're basically admitting that you don't have any control over yourself, so let's try focusing on the things that have control over you.

First thing you do is clean your room/desk/whatever. Even if it is so messy it will take days to clean, fucking do it. You can even play some music while you clean so it isn't that bad. Having an organized environment helps more than you can imagine. It wont make you do things for you but it will positively affect your ability to think and getting rid of the clutter rids yourself of a lot of distractions.

Make sure you KEEP your room clean. Don't leave plates or empty soda cans on you desk, don't throw shit on the floor, put your stuff where it belongs. This is very important because you'll get into the habit of doing little things, which is something you need to have before you can make any serious changes.

Second, take basic care of yourself. Brush twice a day, keep track of how many days it has been since the last time you showered, do laundry to make sure you are wearing clean clothes. Do this stuff even when you don't think you need to, for example do your laundry even if you aren't going anywhere in the next few days. Getting into the habit is what matters.

Yeah, this stuff all sounds pretty unimportant. It sounds like the psychological effect these things will have on your brain wont amount to much. But it does. Getting into the habit of doing the little shit you don't want to do is extremely important. The resulting mindset it gives you will help carry you a long way. And hey, little stuff like this isn't too hard right?

I used to brush maybe once or twice a week, when I could be bothered to go to the effort. At some point it became apparent that my teeth would not outlast my life at the rate I was going, so I determined to brush and floss at least twice per day. I guess that's too much work though, as I've fallen back to once per day, when I can remember to do so, and no flossing. Why is an activity so simple so difficult for me?

I've been doing this sort of thing for years. Though I can "see" my imaginary friend in my mind and she has a voice. I've never really liked the whole Tulpa thing very much. It always felt almost exactly the same as my "imaginary friend" except needlessly more complicated.

If anyone wants something "similar" to a tulpa without so many months of meditating, you might go look around on old bullshit sites like Psipog and read up on how to "communicate with your subconscious". Though those idiots focus on using it for bullshit "psychic abilities", having an internal voice to talk with is always nice.

i've been there, my friends. i used to be an worthless prick like you, but then i took an arro.. no srsly. i started to think that nothing really mattered at all. but then i asked myself why people are out there living their lives, and i realized that it wasn't because they had a big objective in life or anything like that. they just wanted to feel pleasure. how? feeling superior to other people, having sex, dates, childrem, causing pain or pleasure to others, owning stuff, playing games, sports, watching tv shows, doing art, expressing themselves.
but i still couldn't feel motivated just by pleasure, or happyness, because i knew i couldn't ever be happy.
but then it hits me: i realized that objectives do not exist, nor they are imposed to anyone. people give themselves objectives. that means that any behavioural rule, like morals, ethics or what you have to do with your life, like trying to be rich, trying to get a girlfriend, trying to reach nirvana or trying to get friends are all made up bullshit invented by humans. so i realized that I DIDNT HAVE TO DO ANYTHING AT ALL.
nobody has to do anything at all. there might be consequences. but so what? you don't eat, you die. life is meanless anyway. i don't work, i don't get money, i live on the streets. so what? i don't care about anything.
since then, i stoped feeling obligated to do what i HAVE to do, and when you feel like you DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING, you start to do what you WANT and not what you HAVE to do.
i dunno if i makes sense, but i changed to a weak ass lifeless faggot and i gained 14kg of lean mass, got my ass into an university and started going to parties and fucking bitches. i also invented an extremely hard and unlikely goal for my life and i'm doing everything to accomplish that. if you are curious enough i may talk about it but that's an whole different story.

I figure if two people rely on each other and share their experience then they would have an extra incentive in the form of not being alone at whatever they are doing.

It's so frustrating.

All my life, trying different things, even sometimes having fun with them, and yet, zero progress.

I think the thing that made me the way I am today, that is, a person with zero motivation, is because I was disappointed with my lack of progress when everyone around me was getting to places in the same time or less. You don't even know how heartbreaking this lifelong pattern is.

This is why I just numb myself. When I see threads like this, I cry, but I don't see them on most days, and those days are bearable, somewhat.

Needless to say, if you're going to start comparing yourself to others, you're throwing yourself into a very deep hole that will be nearly impossible to climb out of. Don't do it.

Yes, that's the biggest problem, at least for me. I don't know, you just have to try.
For example, I was going to some store for some errands, when I noticed some sort of side road that looked interesting. Without thinking, I turned right, and went on that road, which led to a wonderful little river and park that was completely secluded. I don't think I would have ever discovered it if I hadn't just done it on a whim. But it's still hard to do. Just trust your gut. It's better than to end up regretting not doing it at all. After a while you get better at it.

There was nothing to it. I saw it, I liked it, and I went in. The only thought that ran through my mind was "I'm going in there" I guess the thing you should do is to not try to rationalize it? That doesn't sound very good though. I don't know. Don't over think.

I hear people saying that you should just push yourself to do things, but I feel I can't, people tell me it's just me not wanting to do it, but I feel as if it's not just me who is not wanting to do it, but it's just my body which can't summon the effort to get up and do things like going outside, or trying to learn something.

Why are you such an idiot? You jaundiced jumped up, vercordiously pusillanimous piffle. Your vileseome existence nauseates me beyond compare. It is politically correct when discussing your faults to use certain words to denote your humanness above your disability. But in your case, there is nothing human. You are just challenged, you are just different. Given a choice of stepping in something nasty on the sidewalk, or bidding you good morning, I would happily choose the former. Single-handedly, you have wrenched all meaning out of life. Congratulations. As I write this I try vainly to think of something, anything, which redeems in some small way your utterly pointless existence. The only thing that comes to mind is that you have taught me hate. Pure, unmitigated hate. I have had fantasies about attacking you with a machete, but I dare not. I once cut up a starfish, which was so neurologically simple that each piece grew into a clone of the original. Your coleopteron brain no doubt shares certain appalling similarities with such creatures. You, misguided as you are, might be asking yourself what you have done to deserve such a letter as this. Your misdeeds and villainous vampings can be described in just two words: you exist. And believe me, there is no reason on earth why you should. How do you justify to yourself waking up each morning and ruining yet another day? If everything in this world has some purpose, some grand plan behind its existence, then yours surely is to show everything else, whether it be a slops bucket in a fried chicken stand, or the gunk behind the fridge, how fortunate it is not to be you. I have tried, but clearly, I have failed. I must stand firm to the realisation that mere words cannot express my utmost and profound contempt and loathing for your person, your being and your existence. You are a blight against nature.

I don't want to go into debt again; I'm still paying off school from a few years ago when I dropped.
But I've been NEETing it up for about three or four months now, and what really made the decision for me was when I went to orientation and felt like I was going to die. I don't want to be around people. I don't want to go into a shit-ton of debt. I just want to take it easy and buy some figs and drink tea.
Unemployment will work for now, but I'm not sure what I'll do when that runs out. I might be autismal enough to get bucks for it, but I have no idea how to go about that.

There's a course on the MIT site for programming with Python. Maybe go through that?

If you have some experience with that kinda thing, you might be able to go through it pretty quickly, then take a fancier course at Open University with the skills you've gleaned from it.

Employers like fancy pieces of paper.

Also, another option is Udacity.
http://www.udacity.com/
The idea is that university education should be available to everyone, everywhere, for free. It's an actual course you follow along with, online, for free.
You get a certificate at the end which doesn't REALLY have any weight to it, but you can bluff it up in an interview, that learning online helped introduce you to new concepts that you wouldn't get in a classroom, and really gelled well with the course material. You also got to converse with students across the globe, which you would never have been able to in a usual course.
You can also go on about how being able to do it in your own time really worked well for your desire to self-improve.

It doesn't matter if it's all bullshit, they don't fucking care; all that matters is that you can play the part for 20-30 minutes.

Udacity does programming courses too, so check it out? I dunno.

Intellectual faggit here, Nihilists fall into three categories:

- Edgy grim teenagers who misunderstand the entire concept completely
- The religious that have personally suffered from the death of a god and gone in the complete opposite direction in their woe
- People that will eventually realize the idea of Nihilism is flawed completely and defect to existentialism

Nihilism is a temporary stage. Nobody is a pure Nihilist, and if you find yourself even giving subjective meaning or values to things you have unintentionally become an existentialist already. In that case, please do not refer to yourselves as Nihilists. It's distressing ;_;

Focus every single waking hour on wathever you want to accomplish, disregard everything else. One task at a time. You can't "check /jp/ for 5 minutes for a little break", or "continue tomorrow". You're only allowed to sleep and eat. Set goals like this that last at least a week.

>Maybe I should go into programming?
If you really want to take it easy, then programming is not for you.

Oh what the hell, you wouldn't be able to take it easy in the server room even. The only time you would need to be in there is to hook up a crash cart to a box that REALLY NEEDS TO BE UP RIGHT NOW AND IT'S FAILED HARD FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT.

IT and taking it easy do not go hand in hand. Unless you do IT for grandma's flower store.

Don't listen to this guy. When you're a programmer or sysop or anything like that, your days consist of sitting on your ass F5ing websites and talking on IRC. If you know what you're doing there shouldn't be any problems, and if and when they arise they are usually simple.

I'm 30 minutes in and from my experience with a high number of social-help, life improvement and biology books a lot of this could actually work.

Ignore the advices about finding people to share your motivation with and stuff like that though, never works.

Now we're delving into self-help territory.

http://lesswrong.com/lw/bq0/be_happier/

They have a bunch of articles on this. I also recommend 59 Seconds: Think a Little, Change a Lot and Psychology Applied to Modern Life (it's a textbook, so it's long and expensive in dead tree form).

Don't fall into the self-help trap, /jp/. It's mostly as bunk as the non-"but just in case" part of your brain knows it is.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9050807
Also realize that most self help books just write things so they sound good on paper. If you have read like 5 books you probably know as much as the author of your 6th book.

If you guys want a pretty sure and painless way to die, try Insulin (something like Lantus brand). Inject this (I'd get at least 800 units plus) into your veins. As your sugar levels go all crazy and your body starts wondering what to do, you drift off into death.

The only part of it that hurts is giving a needle but you can just bite your tounge. It can be a little uncomfortable once it's in you and you realize you'll soon be dead but it's not going to hurt or anything.

I assembled my server earlier today and now I'm going to install the OS and try to figure out what to do with it and how.

It feels pretty damn good to actually do something once in a while.

My hobbies are mostly reading, building electronics, hacking away at BSD or Linux systems, or the visual arts.

The motivation to do any of these seems to come in phases that I can't control, so the urge to do things is quite dependent on circumstance. I can go a couple weeks strictly reading books, or some painting, or some just doing nothing but sitting around. It varies a lot.

Way to be a moron.

Hacking doesn't refer to cracking someones root pass and messing their computer up, I don't really know where people started to confuse that term...

Hacking refers to taking your own computer software or hardware and altering it to do things it was never intended to do.

Last week I turned a full inch to the left.
This week I'll manage another to the right.
The this time next year I might be able to finally nudge myself to the floor.

Where I'll go from there remains unknown, but I'll finally be free to do whatever I want.
After such a work out, I'll probably just go back to bed
