I’m a pretty go with the flow person and can be very (sometimes too) laid back

This often leads me to go off the deep end too much in life where I left myself get pushed into situations which aren’t ideal to my long term goals and happiness.

To clarify I’m pretty happy rn and thank god life in general is pleasant. However, I’ve been reflecting and realize my attitude has caused some serious setbacks in achieving what I wanted/set out for years ago. I’ve been way too passive towards my career/passions/health.

It manifests itself in many aspects for me. Just today as I spent time decluttering my room and had plans of studying for the CFA I noticed these are chores and errands others can do on a daily basis while I happily put it off for months. My life would be much better if I put a small amount of effort everyday in working at things but instead I choose the harder way of addressing things when they become critical.

I need to be more self conscious of how much I respect my time and goals

Thread blew up

Probably too much :(

I get what you mean OP, I'm very last-minute with stuff too, I try to fix my patterns of productivity but I end up falling back into them every time

It happens, right now I feel in control of my direction tho.

absolutely. this issue has stuck with me through my entire life pretty much

not really

bro thread didn't blew up because almost everyone in here is at the same point as you lmao

Damn I feel this I'm too easy going sometimes which leads to procrastination which leads to f***ed situations

no.

You aren’t afforded the power you deserve to actively affect the path of your life in a way that doesn’t require an unnecessarily high amount of effort for an disgustingly low level of payoff

nope

Been struggling with this the last few years. I try to combat it but I always feel like it’s too late.

This has been my life and I’m trying to break out of it but I feel like I can’t do it on my own

I wouldn't call it losing control necessarily in my situation but definitely rings true. I was saying to myself at my last job, I'll leave after 2 years, 4 years and was still there. Not like I was having a bad time and I was still earning and saving money but its easy to get comfortable even though my job was offering nothing more in terms of pay rises or even being mentally stimulating. I think another issue is I find it easy to get optimistic, like I always have this sense that things will fall into place, that job offer will come along no worries, the girl will ask ME out etc.

I feel the exact way OP
The fact you’re aware of it though is a good thing

You’re in control

Yes. i do everything last minute, im late everywhere i go, i miss assignments all the time, i cant write essays, i dont do anything that benefits me, i kinda just lay back like a potato and get comfortable. i wonder if it’s my adhd combined with my fear of failing that keeps me from trying to do anything productive

Damn OP you just like me

Good thread op

@chicknparm

legit am in a situation like that right now, been letting my roomates get me into s*** i dont want to be

Think less

Do more

You’re probably not happy that’s why
