imagine a goal to achieve in the next 4 months, then a goal to achieve in a year, then a goal to achieve in 2, then in 4 then in 8.

Write each one down. Ask yourself how you can do that. Procrastination is not a product of laziness, it is a product of a lack of clarity, and some not so small anxiety.

imagine what a good day looks like. Not a day where you suffer. Envision a day you are proud of or appreciate yourself for having or does what you want. try to envision a day you could conceivably do and like yourself. Write that down on a little sheet of paper. and next to it, try to write how long you think it'll take.

You have 12 hours in a day, outside the eating and the washing and the shitting, and the sleeping and being groggy etc. Assuming you have a job, you actually have 4, since one can guess you have an 8 hour workday.

Do some activities you feel you need to do to achieve something on that list i told you to write at the top.

In my case:
1 month,
+file taxes
+Work on my research
+Apply to new jobs, (preferably in fintech or ai)

4 months,
+finish grad school*
+Achieve my 8 minute mile*
+Begin my new job*
+begin lifting*
Pickup Haskell language i.e. (start them)
Start looking for courses to take on coursera either (statistics, or finance ).
Begin studying for my CFA

1 year,
pay off all loans
+take the first exam for my CFA*
+Achieve benching 80% of my own weight*
+generate $70,000 for new investments*
Pickup Go, Node languages

3 years
+Achieve a CFA*
+Get a position in a big 5 software company: Apple, Google , Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft*

6 years
Start a software company in AI
Start a software company in Computer games
Start a software company in fintech
Start an online education company (similar to coursera, or khan academy)

12 years
+Establish a charity fund for a purpose i will not name on this site: It's too specific.*


Note that"
the +'s denote relatively higher priority objectives.
the *'s denote objectives that are contextually dependant on objectives completed in the immediately previous time period. They are dependant on my hard work and success sooner rather than later.

Something about this rubs me the wrong way. Having solid goals and a plan to accomplish them is always good, but meticulously planning out every little point of your life for the next few decades from student to excel monkey to fart-sniffing NGO stooge is just very...off putting and almost sociopathic.

the best thing you can do in my experience is build p your will from the ground up by exercising it like a muscle. start small; is there a piece of trash lying around, or some sort of mess, make sure the moment you notice it you deal with it right away, remember some small chore you need to do? do it right away. a disorganized shelf or something? deal with it instantly. my imagination is limited regaurding examples but hopefully you get the point: the moment you see some small task you know you should deal with, you deal with it asap, no putting it off for later or letting things accumulate, this is extremely important because these tasks are easy for your weak will to challenge when you are concscious of this plan, and not a big deal but will train your mind to automatically do the right thing instead of being lazy. eventually you will develop an impulse where youre walking and notice some trash or whatever and you impulsively pick it up and take it to the garbage, and that same impulsive habit can eventually be utilized to tell yourself "no" when faced with eating junk food at night or telling yourself "no" when you think of staying up late, or jerking off, or whatever. eventually your will strengthens and you wont feel nearly as compelled and controlled by degenerate impulses.

but you have to start small in order to build the habit and develop the positive impulsive reaction when faced with temptation, like with working out a muscle, you cant just immediately jump in to doing reps of 100lb dumbells, you have to start small and build strength, and eventually you will find your strength naturally increases and you will be able to challenge greater temptations

The trick is that you're not even doing hedonism right. You're probably unhappy with your life if you want to change it. If you want to be a successful hedonist, you have to get out of the low effort-low reward loop. Now, how to actually do that is tricky.

some people say procrastination is a problem of discipline. I don't think so. I think procrastination is a problem from anxiety and lack of clarification.

write out something you want, and explain why you want it, what you look like having it, and what you look like failing it. break down the steps, until they feel like solvable problems. And ask yourself, if you had a really good day today, not necessarily a productive day, but a good day, where you enjoyed it and you feel like you like yourself, what that looks like.

good luck you miserable bastard. none of this stuff will make you happy or even impress anybody who isn't looking to make money off you, but I wish you the best. I used to be like you and to be fair I was probably happier for it.

A bit of advice though, find something concrete that you want to do, and stop wasting your time with languages and statistics. Pick a big goal and as you work towards that, teach yourself what you need to know. Instead of spending years reaching arbitrary benchmarks you could actually achieve something truly excellent (for example, you can figure out what you need to know about statistics and finance from starting a company, they're useful tools but that's it). This is coming from someone who speaks 4&1/2 languages and wasted years studying mathematics.

Also, in terms of learned skills, STEM and weightlifting might make you feel superior to your common man, but if you know how to cook a decent meal and play four chords and a simple rhythm on a couple different instruments you will always be able to make friends and keep a roof over your head.

You need to find the axis of your life. Every action must be decided by one single criterium if you go to the absolute root. The Id, your animalistic impulses and the super-ego, the aspects of you that are a result of socialization, must be seized by yourself. The impulses or the dogmas are not what makes you. You need to search for that source of the ability of distinguishing good from bad. You don't have to worry that you aren't sure if the moral axis you found is the one you want for all your life, when you find the one truth that will dictate other truths in your life, you will know, but for the search to be successful you must desocialize yourself as much as possible until you reach the goal.

There were, from the beginning, Epicurean women in his garden kitchen talks. You’re a sad fool.

I am glad someone finally managed to draw out a little anger from the smug bitch that you are. You are what, early 30s? Too scared to get a child come out of your pisshole? This board is for intellectuals, young men possessing or seeking great wisdom and knowledge. Your occasional good advice will always be overshadowed by your estrogen-induced retarded, fucking horrible views on things. If you got some fertile eggs in there, how about you try to get a good husband and make some kids, that is if any good man will even have the lack of self-respect to marry such a roastie.

Just do it anon. Stop thinking about it and being anxious about it, just get out of your chair and do something now.

Good post, it's amazing how horrified people are by advice that would help them.

would you want to do any of those activities for themselves if they weren't trendy in the current era? What are you going to do if the Zeitgeist changes and people start looking down on software devs?

You project a lot onto me from these imperfect words, this shallow form of communication. But it’s really obvious that you’re hiding here to lash out, dump all your bitterness on strangers. This board isn’t for intellectuals, it’s for trolling. Anonymity is for trolling and blowing off steam.
My “occasional” good advice is blown off as bad, my contributions are disavowed.
Women are not baby machines for male legacies. They are the base Human being for which males are an appendage to.
My views, my advice, even my jokes, are just little mirror reflections from the sunny world up here to the cave you’ve all crawled down into. Come up anytime.

Be a hedonist. Just dont be a shortsighted "o im not gonna have a job or spend a sober minute thinking about anything" type of hedonist. That type of shit doesnt help achieve maximum pleasure long term.

Actually it IS all for a goal. I want to make a very specific charity. As my gift to miserable lonely fucks like i used to be, and hopefully reduce the gini coefficient in the United states. Again no details. But i'm not jerking off. There is a point and a dream and i'm betting my life that it will be realized sometime after my death in about 50 years. I do concur with you that life is meant to spent on something meaningful and not only for the aggrandizement of the self.

I may sound like i'm self superior, but that's not my appraisal of people, just of men who choose bot to aid their fellows and choose instead to critique them in laziness. I compete often with individuals i find terrifying and humbling. Arrogance has not become me, except in the presence of the arrogant loser. A man who is confused and alone may not be able to recognize the difference between competence and this type, and so i make it clear from the get go. My respect is contingent on knowing that your intention is to support your fellow man. And should a man fail to meet that criterion, they deserve to be talked over.

I do know how to cook. I make a killer roast lamb. Desserts especially french ones are way harder. I never learned to play an instrument. I was always more of a writer, hence lit. But i will take your advice under consideration.

Can you elaborate more on how playing an instrument will put a roof over my head and advance me in my pursuit?

As for the learning, i do it because i want to have rock solid knowledge it's an investment in different ways of thinking, and trying to keep up my fluid intelligence as i age. That's also why i work out. You're not wrong that it seems pointless and i might replace them for something i find is a better/ more practical and illuminating use of time, but for some reason i'm just betting on it that there's still more for me to learn there. If you have more clear alternatives i'm always open minded and quite greedy to hear them.

Honestly? No. I didn't list my achievements, i just listed my current goals and these guys are like sperging out green with envy. It's giving me a little chub honestly. They can just tell i'm a winner just because i know what i want. And without even having mentioned anything of what i've achieved so far they're crying and furious and trying to critique me.

Cynics usually critique things that they feel make them insecure or are just generally above them. No cynic bothers to slander a loser. I think honestly it's the biggest compliment most of these guys know how to muster. The better socialized people are just telling me that they're rooting for me.

If there is a regret, i feel like u've overshadowed the op in err not realizing so many people on here would act insecure and straight up forget the prompt in this post. I offered what i've figured out to help this guy, and it seems like everybody is busy trying to get my attention instead. I thought offering my own example would make the op feel less like im a guru talking out of his ass with ideas he doesn't live out. Truly i made this error because i did not consider this list impressive enough to garner so much attention. I thought other individuals could match it, but so far nobody has, and i feel confident some people are simply holding out.

Anyway, all this to say that you interpret internet conversations like an insecure 13 year old. A bunch of tards seething over you isn't anything to regret.
