Quote:I think that's a resistance tactic. You can't be productive if you're too tired after all. I used to have that sort of BS to deal with.
There's next to no recourse, other than finding ways to function under a constant state of exhaustion. This is why I imagine most people are addicted to coffee. My vice is sugar, which thanks to the still-on detox of MLS tends to mean i'm having to urinate after almost everything I eat or drink, these permanent effects are ruthless.

That's just it, I don't feel like anyone actually wants to be a chronic procrastinator, but when the patterns are so ingrained over a lifetime, there is absolutely no ease involved or impetus to tackle things that don't give instant gratification. I am either forcing myself, consciously, using energy that's already not present in high amounts, or taking the path of least resistance, which is what i'm used to. I believe that it would be most effective to emphasize developing self-discipline moreso than motivation, which is easily misdirected towards the pseudo-accomplishments. In every case, I know (intellectually) that the key to success is being able to commit to a productive structure and be consistent. Will all that being said, tackling a core life issue in 30 or so days seems unrealistic, we're talking about restructuring something that has defined my actual ego-self, that's really a tall order, and I'm prepared for the long haul with that in mind.
