Prove me wrong.

And it's not a conjuction, it's a contraction.


You decided to pick my post apart from the rest for such a silly reason and in the end made yourself look stupid. Achievement unlocked: Be a moron.

So I've been feeling rather useless lately, as though I can't really make a difference in this problematic world, and that nothing really matters. I am fairly sure that this feeling has to do with my problem with extreme procrastination, laziness, and possible ADD.

Laziness: I'll spend my time doing something completely and utterly useless such as browsing these forums or playing some game, or watching Youtube videos, when I KNOW that I should be doing the work that's due tomorrow.

ADD: I will start doing something, and then after a minute or two of doing it, I will just stop doing it and lie down or something. And then after 10 minutes of daydreaming/napping, I will get back up, start doing what I planned to do for another minute or so, and then repeat until someone comes around and sees me and I finish it.

I usually do not get adequate sleep; I have found that getting adequate sleep does help alleviate it, but my procrastination and laziness/ADD continue to linger.

So does anyone have any solutions? (My train of thought was stopped because I just had a Skype conversation for about 30 minutes [ADD?])

My approach to this situation is coming from a perspective where I can relate on most issues. Firstly I would recognize not thinking about your effectiveness in terms of how you can "change this problematic world". Think of it in terms of how you can help your family, or a friend, or a community, even in the most minute level. Secondly to combat laziness I usually require to do something or anything active, which gets your endorphins and blood pumping a bit. For me this just gives me a confidence and knowledge that I was productive in some fashion even it be getting my heart rate up for a bit. That isn't necessarily that simple. You do have to force yourself to get off your butt and onto your bike (for me) after school or whenever.

Procrastination is a toughie. It took me about 3 months to finally replace my car radio that was stolen out of my car. I went out and bought it but I didn't ever install it. One day I told myself that I KNEW I had this time open, and that I would not commit to anything else until I installed this freaking car radio. It took me about an hour but I sure felt like I accomplished something, even it was small. It isn't time management but setting a decisive goal and having rules that follow. If you can't keep yourself accountable, then tell someone that you are going to do it. I told my dad I was going to install that radio in my car today. Saying it to him didn't necessarily mean he was going to keep me accountable but it made the idea more concrete when It had been abstract for several months.

ADD is something that can be medical but if it isn't diagnosed, like I feel I am, then you approach it other ways. In some ways it goes hand and hand with procrastination. Be deliberate, set a goal, make that goal or objective real and concrete. Exercising really helps me focus and helps me remain more engaged with what I am doing. Like 9 said:

Find your niche.

Find what works for you for exercise. Find what excites you or makes you feel like you accomplished something small but meaningful to you. Do charity work, go to church one sunday or some stupid high school get together that makes you socialize. Almost every single stupid social thing I do I realize I found meaning somewhere in a conversion or interaction.

To recapitulate:
1. Look to accomplish small feats.
2. Exercise or find your means of staying active and engaged.
3.Start doing different thing even if they are trivial.

Way too much but try to take something out of it I guess.

I think my advice was by far the best.

Also, some nutella might help your situation.
