I appreciate your input, Jonathan! It means a lot to me that you've found inspiration in this journal, since that was one of the reasons for me to start it in the first place. The story you told is pretty inspirational too. That's exactly my experience as well - I can be introverted as a hermit at one point (when I need to focus on work) and then be energetic and social in the next one if the situation requires it.

Quick update:
I'm focusing more heavily on improving productivity and organizational skills using the GTD (get things done) system. I'm meeting a lot of resistance, mostly because I've been consistently and forcibly pushing an enormous amount of thoughts outside of my awareness. That seems to be a form of self-abuse, but it was the best I could have done without a system to organize my projects, tasks and basically every piece of information in my life.
Getting organized is a form of releasing negative stress in itself, and as such, there is some resistance to change. Every bit of ground I gain in this battle is highly rewarding in terms of inner peace, so I'm just going to continue until I'm done.
