Motivation

Don't ask me. I'm 28 years old and I still havent passed my driving test...



I passed mine at 28 - it's not the end of the world. That was at least as much financial as laziness however.


As to the original question: as someone who can procrastinate for England, I can't help you very much. The only thing I find helps is planning the activity: set out to do it at a particular time and time and date and plan the day around it.

It can be very easy to waste your life without doing anything interesting or challenging.

My parents say that about me on a weekend when I lay in bed.

I go scuba diving, motor racing, mountain biking, have a personal trainer for some weight training, I go on holiday as much as my company will allow me to without getting tetchy, I am interested in my job and take pride in what I do, I'm constantly on the net learning stuff and never vegetate watching dumb soaps on TV.

What do they want... blood?
 
Well I left school with good grades & had a future plan but unfortunately things happened & I sort of fell off the beaten bath, so to speak. Since then I guess I've let things get on top of me & instead of keep fighting through the crap to get back on track, I let the downfalls get the better of me. Now I feel I am stuck in a rut & at 22 that isn't the greatest of feelings.

On a plus side, the end of last year I decided enough was enough & it was time to try an improve on my failings & move past some of the obstacles that I've allowed to fall into place.

In trying to make a change last year, It was highlighted to me that one of my problems that I am trying to overcome, wasn't probably the sole cause of my unhappiness & lack of motivation but the fact I was likely mildly depressed was giving things that ever glum outlook. It's hard to admit to that in a way, but again I have actually took steps now into sorting that out too, I just want to keep myself motivated this year & coming years so I don't feel the way I do currently.

Now all I need is new job, more than 0-4hrs sleep most nights & to feel like I'm me again :p ... oh and to pass my driving test ;)
 
I live for the day not the future. Yes I have dreams, what I want to do. But I don't gaze out into the future, I might miss whats happening now!
