Personally, I've found that without abstaining from the internet, any sort of creative routine is impossible.

Today I've just been scolling through /lit/ and /tv/ for hours.

Here's higher quality of OP's pic

>>5111351

Because of the internet I can't even get through most of the vidya, books, and films I collect. 4chan is ruining my NEETdom.

>>5111351
This.

I'll get rid of this shit next week and focus on my reading. Ive tried it before and fuck, the difference is like driving a car with and without the emergency brake.

would browsing /lit/ be considered reading or social?

>making ends meet

>>5111354

>>5111324
>>5111300
Do you guys have friends?

I have been living at home, not working, for about a month now and the loneliness is killing me. I go to stores just to briefly have a word with people. I look at the homes of my neighbors at night, and see the lights on, and want to go hang with them, but I know that's weird. Maybe it's because I don't play multiplayer video games.

>>5112084
I do, but they live over 800 miles away. It's been 9 months since I've moved to where I'm at now, and the loneliness is numbing at this point. The only reprieve I've found is from the two times I've gone to visit my friends.

>>5112084

>>5111354
well would you take a look at that?

>The only reprieve I've found is from the two times I've gone to visit my friends.

yeah this but part of me doesn't even want to see my friends when i decide to go out.

something is just lacking in me. the care isn't there that should be there. i'm just not present.

>>5112165
I don't have skype

You should think about connecting with this fellow lonely soul, anon. The worst case scenario is that you find one another mutually abrasive and subsequently cut off communication.

That's why you stay away from YouTube. Want to know how I got good at guitar? I kept playing until I didn't suck anymore. I did that by sitting down and playing with no expectations, other than personal enjoyment.
You sound like you need to disconnect.

>>5112291
>realize I'm shit
you're not going to get better at life by dwelling on how much you suck at it. Just try to fucking enjoy writing and piano. If the only thing you care about is how good you are, you're never going to get anywhere anyway

>>5112296

I got good at guitar by being stoned all the time. Shit sounds so good.

I love Ben Frank's schedule, since reading his biography a while back. He was a great guy.

>>5112306
I can't enjoy it if I can't do anything on it in the first place.

>>5112315
I mean I'll get stoned and jam with other people, but generally I've always practiced sober. Unless, I come home drunk and want to wank around for a bit.

>>5112323

said Buzz Aldrin, like, never!

>>5112331

okay best thing to get gurd at guitar.

1) Learn ya fuckin scales! Scales and keys, bitch! Otherwise you're musically retarded.

2) Rinse and repeat step 1.

3) be a crazy gone motherfucker

4) 420 blaze it, 4 hours before you write your own.

>>5112344

It's only that I just confessed those things, and I'm embarrassed by them. I'm sure that anon is very nice and accepting, but I wouldn't feel right being a sort of victim in a talk. Once again, I appreciate your offer anon, it was kind

>>5112360
At least I'm not like you.

>>5112350

dunno, what angle are you coming from? That a full band is required to contribute the the subsistence of a song or that one requires the pressure of a 4 piece band looking upon them to come up with anything listenable?

>>5112360

fuckin lol

>>5112367
That a full band is require to contribute to the subsistence of a song.
I actually like quite a few artists who do two-part arrangements, but when I'm composing I like to have three or more people playing at the same time. However, I'll still compose alone whenever I have some free time.
Playing with others also helps me develop ideas, because they can keep playing while I work something out and vice versa.

>>5112364

I get you man. We all care about our own shit 10X more than anybody else does, ad infinitum.

>>5112365

Weekend:

>8:00 Wake up, rest, eat, watch TV in any combination

The ultimate flux schedule. Good for /lit/, /tv/, /mu/ crossboarders like myself.

The reason they sleep so little is not because they force themselves to, wishing they could sleep more. They wake up because they are so passionate and excited about their lives and work that they don't want to sleep. Go read Robert Greene's Mastery to get more info about the master's habits and lifestyles.

I have no daily routine. Routines suck.

>>5112870

what are you an idiot savant or something?

>>5112888
I wish. I just have a fucked up autonomic nervous system so my heart rate and blood pressure and circulatory system and digestive system and sleep patterns aren't regulated correctly.

>>5112790
I love having some sort of routine where I need to get up at a reasonable time. When I have nothing to do, I sleep later and later, until I approach 12 hours of sleep each night. Then, I get progressively more lethargic, depressed, and unproductive. Having something that you want to wake up for is one of the most valuable things in life.

>>5111271

>Shitpost and argue economics with people on 4chan

During Semester
>Wake up
>Go to classes
>4chan for a few hours
>Study
>Hang with friends
>Get drunk on weekends

I enjoy college life much more than working life though. I love what I study, and I love hanging out with people who have similar goals. I work at a fast food restaurant over the summer, with people who's desire in life is to make minimum wage and spend it on shitty apartments, subwoofers, and every COD game that comes out.

>>5112914
eh, they say it should get better with time and so far it has improved a lot since the onset several years ago so things are looking up every day. now I just have to focus on eating right (also lots of salt and water) and exercising and taking the couple of meds that I found don't give me side effects. And I should continue to get better.

I went the active treatment/therapy route a few years back and the procedure was totally botched twice so it really wasn't worth the small and temporary relief it gave me.

And yeah, since then the symptoms have gotten better and things continue to improve, but I still need about 10 hours of sleep per night to feel not-so-shitty.

>>5112874
>implying routines are intentional

>>5112942

Well that's an absolute pain in the arse you've got there. Hopefully it doesn't interfere too greatly with social life and or hobbies. Mind you there are people on here who oversleep simply because they're so unfit through apathy. Hoping things keep getting better mate.

I've actually adjusted to most of it, it's amazing what people can get used to. And thanks for the sympathy, anon.

>>5112934
I worked fast food part time through college. It was so confusing. Only a few of the people that worked there were my age, and they were like you described. I felt bad because I wanted to be friendly and hang out with them, but then I realized I had nothing in common. They all just smoked weed in their mom's basement all day, where all their friends also lived. It was cool, but I really don't like smoking much anymore, and they seemed like the really boring kind of people to smoke with, that just sit their and listen to the White Album or Sublime. Probably Sublime.

>>5112984

>>5113016

>>5112984
Yep.
>I had nothing in common

This is exactly how I feel. I really have no desire to gossip about who is angling for management, or talk about the rounds of COD they played last night.

I hate to sound like a fedora though. I don't consider myself superior, but I do have different ambitions than alot of them.

One time I asked if there was any actual purpose to life (going through a teenage existential crisis) and nobody seemed to realize it wasn't a joke.

Whatever.

How do you NEET's support yourselves financially?

>>5112944

This. In the past 14 years of working my daily schedule has only deviated when I visited Thailand or when my mom accidentally brings my tray of breakfast up to my room too early. You guys just have to be persistent and you'll produce good work.

retail seems to have less idiots, the place i work has a pharmacy which usually has a higher requirement of intelligence, or I may have gotten lucky as my coworkers, the young ones, are smart but not too ambitious, although they are not very knowledgeable.

They think Paul Thomas Anderson is obscure, Jeff Buckley, and they read one book a year

I do get to have deep discussions with them though and i can tell for them it is unusual

>>5112291
Even if your art is shit, you have to keep making it. If you keep stopping and then coming back later you'll just keep being shit, you won't improve. You just need to keep trying to improve your art. The fact is that there will always be people who are better at whatever it is you do, but you just have to do it because you love it, not because you think it'll make you famous or attractive or whatever. If you want an audience, make art that reflects your inner self and don't let yourself become a carbon copy of what you think people want to read or hear. There will be people who can connect with it. You're not as alone as you think you are.

Keep your head up and keep making art, friend

I have no routine. However, everyday, I set some goals. Basically, they are quite akin one another, but are rarely done in the same order.

Sleep: 6-8 hours. Sometimes a nap.
Olympic weightlifting.
Reading.
Learning, studying, memorizing.
Social stuff fills the rest.

Nota: (4Chan's is in the "reading" section.)

Get off the internet. Make art because you love it, not to prove your worth to others. You know what you want, and you can make it happen.

Also, don't listen to faggots on the internet. Including me.

I think I made the first of these routine threads, back in May of 2013. I was thinking about routines, and how to better your own productivity in that time, and I remember that I was reading this book that is the source of the OP’s pic. The old thread is this one:

http://4chandata.org/lit/What-are-your-daily-rituals-What-routines-do-you-keep-for-writingMy-routine-is-this-one-I-wake-up-at-0800-am-take-a-shower-get-dre-a523990

My routine has hardly changed from that time since, except that now I have a girlfriend. This is my routine:

>I wake up at 08:00 am, take a shower, get dressed and go to the office. I arrive at work at 8:40 (I work as a lawyer). Work until 11:30.
>From 11:40 to 12:30 I go to the gym to lift weights (I don’t like this very much, but is important to stay in shape and maintain good health). After the gym I go home for lunch, and go back to work at 01:30 pm.
>I work until 06:00 pm, when I finally end my shift and go home.
>I sit down to write at 06:20 pm, and I try to keep writing until 09:00 pm (sometimes I write till 10:00 or 11:00 pm).
>After writing I watch some TV, eat dinner (usually coffee, bread, fruits and light things like that), and around 10:30 pm go to my room.
>Around 11:00 pm go to bed (after brush my teeth and shave). I read for approximately one hour, and then try to sleep. Next day it’s the same thing all over again.
>On weekends I avoid writing: I use them to go out, chat, camp, drink, go to the movies, go to parties and other social events.

But I remember one post in that thread that was one of the funniest things I ever read. This is the post. I can only say to the original Anon: congratulations. It was a grat work of dark comedy. Here it is:

>>5114625

2/2

"I arise at the ungodly hour of 5:30am. From here I peel myself away from the comforting embrace of sleep and into the harsh world of reality.

I stumble to the shower and cleanse my body of all positive energies. I then rid my face of excess hair and begin to curse the morning sun. Loudly, and with much gusto.

This is followed by a quick breakfast of triple shot espresso and cigarettes, occasionally bookended with plain toast. 6:30 rolls around and I am trapped within the confines of my metallic coffin, chugging away toward my employment destination.

Depending on traffic I arrive at 7:30. I work at a primary school so children are already congregating outside like vultures. I ignore the little shits until humanely possible and settle behind my desk, preparing for the mental anguish that is teaching simple minded infants how to grip a pencil and not damage the desk with their illegible scribblings.

From 9:00 until 11:00 it is two solid hours of pain before a caffeine break and solitary weep in the toilets that are broken but not actually broken just not used by staff because a dead rat was seen in it once and has been "quarantined" until further notice. This is followed by another hour and a half of pain before the solitary joy of lunch.

It is over too quickly however. Back to the grind. Babysitting someones illiterate and foul mouthed progeny until they can be bothered to get off their arse and collect them.

From 16:00 until 19:00 it is the usual routine of marking and assessment. Dante had an easier time. Pure torture.

From 20:30 and my return home it is a quick check of the news and bank details before retiring to bed. An escape into beauty.

On weekends I drink. And plan."

retail.. fucking retail. I also work at a pizza shop. making and delivering pizzas. i do my best to make the retail job fun, but its nearly impossible. I do enjoy talking to strangers, like i said; that is literally the only upside.

and delivering is also kinda fun too. i always try to make the best out of things, regardless of how sucky they seem. its the only way i can be if i dont want to kill myself or anyone else ;_; .. i dont want to live like this. humans werent meant to.

BRING DOWN THE SYSTEM!

>>5116991
But how would you be able to write about a better way if you've never experienced one? Or what if you're writing about the wrong way but you wouldn't know because you've never tried it?

Maybe I can do it when I'm old and ugly, because as far as I know there are less people who are into the rape and/or murder of old ladies.

Or maybe I could travel with another chick, so we could have each other's backs?

>>5117002
i know.. i know ...

>>5117000
its a general way of perceiving, rather than a method of acting that makes a life "better", they go hand in hand, and one can not exist without the other.

thoughts will perpetuate actions. Change the thoughts, change the acts. ..still though >>5117002 its too true, and i know it. maybe not all of them, but at least one of them. and one is all you need.

>>5117025
old ladies are an easier target for robberies though. I reckon the way to go is to learn some sweet self deffence skills

>>5117060
but if I look like a poor homeless old crazy lady with nothing then why would they rob me? But I think learning self defence and getting in shape in general would be a good idea. Maybe I could just buy an easily concealed gun and learn how to shoot?

you are the cancer of our world. you are those people who try to humanize the inhumane lives we are offered, thus making them acceptable under a "fun" disguise. you are rotting yourself inside anyway, cause you know how shit sucks but you put all your vital energy into thinking and pretending they dont.

BRING DOWN THE MASK! face and accept things for what they are. only then will we stop bearing them and will look for a real human life

>>5116764
That's not far off. Basically, I'm living the 4chan lifestyle: go to bed in the am, get up in the pm, spend lots of time on the Internet or in my steam library. I just graduated college and turned down a job offer. I have only 2 or 3 friends and lack actionable life goals. I'm probably going to end up living with my parents for the time being. I have lots of vague, unrealistic goals that couple my lethargy with anxiety.

I don't think that those characteristics mean that I'm mentally ill, but some close friends think that they're strong indicators.

>>5111354

oh no how terrible. you can work and still enjoy things in life dude. dont excuse yourself from having a job. humans have been working, doing shittons of harder things to live for a LIVING since the dawn of time.

only now we're slave to corporations and rely on them to live, so essentially its the same thing.

do you think that all 800 years agi ALL people had farms and worked them? no. some people were tailors, and carpenters, and used the money they EARNED from working to buy food from the farmers. its just life man, dont be a lazy nigger.

oh man, you are so broken

I was NEET for years, got a full time job a few months ago but quit last week because being gone 50 hours a week working some shitty job I hated made me want to die more than I already do.

So now I'm back to just doing nothing all day. I wake up whenever and sleep whenever. I sit on the internet all day doing nothing. I don't really play video games anymore. I rarely watch anime or read books. I want to practice my art, but I have this terrible mental block about the whole thing and even though I've tried dozens and dozens of times to get back into it, it always just puts me in a terrible mood and I end up drinking myself stupid so I don't shoot myself.

Constantly flip flop around, have no passions or hobbies, can't find anything I actually care about outside of drawing. Spent a bunch of money on a piano/keyboard, but I don't even do anything with it since I have no motivation. Think about trying to get into writing, but it feels kinda stupid since I can barely even make myself read.

I stopped lifting weights and working out in general late last year. I would really love to start again, but I no longer have any space for my weights and shit and the only gym near here is terrible and I cancelled my membership after trying to use it a few times.

So I spend all my time refreshing pages on 4chan, from morning until night. I kinda want to die.

I have no routine.

wake up at like 2-3pm
coffee, read, cigarette
go for run
read/write a bit
cook dinner
clean
get drunk/read/go out with friends and get drunk/fuck around on internet/write
lie in bed for hours doing nothing, finally fall asleep around dawn

eat computer work eat work computer eat sleep

Work day, completely random working week
>wake up and immediately go to work, no breakfast, wash or anything- barely have time to make a sammich
>commence work and finish in late afternoon
>get home & shower
>4chan until 9:30pm
>decide whether I'm going to play vidja, draw or do writing
>go to bed at around midnight

Day Off
>wake up usually around 11am
>decide whether to write or play vidja
>if im not playing vidja then all communication software & my mobile is turned off
>the rest of the day is a blur of writing, massive amounts of procrastination on 4chan, and hot drinks
>go to bed at 2am

On my days off I write anywhere between 500-2000 words, and do proofreading & additions of everything I wrote the last session.

Productivity is fucking slow since I only really get a lot of work done on days off, but stuff still gets done.

>>5117951
dis

My routine varies, but the coffee and cigarettes are a constant. Some days I wake up feeling like shit, other days I wake up feeling like a god. Some days I read and write a ton, meet friends, lovingly torment family, go places, see things, other days I'm massively melancholic, drunk, and nostalgic. I've spent most of my adult life gainfully employed, but I'm not at the moment, though that doesn't really weigh into things too much what with how I'm rather financially secure. The one thing I really have, though, and besides family and friends and all that, is that I'm not stagnant.

>wake up in the early afternoon
>have a nice healthy breakfast and some coffee

>read some epicurus before bed, reflect on my day, evaluate mode of living
>go to sleep between four and six in the morning
>repeat

I used smoke a lot of weed and do generally scummy things, but now I don't. I also used to drink a whole lot, but now I don't. I also used be really big into cars, but now I'm not. I also used to play a lot of poker, but now I don't. I really fucking hit rehab hard, to be quite honest. Pretty much just blew my brain up.

No internet, only when I go to my parents place once a week, like now. I just moved out, will move guitars and amps now to my place and start boxing next week. My goal for this summer is to get in shape, catch up on science (biology/chemistry/physics/math), read good books and watch good movies, practice guitar and try multiple psychedelic drugs. Currently am at home because am at the process of acquiring them.

e Man" is a slang phrase that may refer to the government or to some other authority in a position of power. In addition to this derogatory connotation, it may also serve as a term of respect and praise.
The phrase "the Man is keeping me down" is commonly used to describe oppression. The phrase "stick it to the Man" encourages resistance to authority, and essentially means "fight back" or "resist", either passively, openly or via sabotage.[1]
