I am currently trying to find a method of thinking that makes me do things, without the necessity of an output measure weighing me down. As in, not having a constant numerical goal pressure me into doing something (most likely just making me avoid it)Essentially I suffer through long periods of inactivity with my hobbies, just allowing myself to mindlessly doom scroll or masturbate insteadBut, I recently realized that putting down distractions makes your mind clearer (duh) and gives me time to do thingsSome things I sort of naturally do but others I don’tBut the thing is, I’m trying to more so focus on identity as motivation than outputWhat I mean is, I don’t want to feel like I have to write something, or read, or watch, etcThere shouldn’t be a responsibility involved it’s just something I doThat being said however it feels a bit aimless to not have a clear goal or schedule or routine, there’s nothing really driving me towards doing anything outside of in the moment instinctsI find that this would lead me to leave a lot of things I wanna do, more importantly don’t realize I wanna do by the wayside while I focus on one thing or worse eventually go back towards distractionsAll I can think of is doing things daily but I know that’s wrong, even weekly quotas feel wrong and inorganic like they would only make me feel pressure, but I don’t know a means of staying on track with things without having some sort of measure in placeCan anyone give me some suggestions towards thisIf you need more clarity please ask or bitch at me I wrote this before sleeping so it isn’t the best quality
>>34524089you can't think your way into a better life, you can only live your way into better thoughts you are a mindless screen addictgo outside and touch paper books and do things that are pleasurable and free and do not benefit any video game company
>>34524089I just watch an episode of whatever show I'm currently watching or read a chapter of the book I'm reading, every day. If I'm too busy on a particular day, I just skip it. One ep/chapter a day is a very reasonable amount. It shouldn't feel forced at all. If you don't enjoy it, what's the point of doing it in the first place?
>>34524209I do things that are pleasurable dummyIf I wanted to be outside I would be >>34524293It’s weird I do enjoy it, but having any sort of necessary amount set just makes me so zeroAlthough there was a time last year where I was consistent but I was autistically logging my hours in a spreadsheet lol I guess to hold myself accountable
>>34524293Yeah maybe it’s just a routine type thing with an extremely low minimum but no real necessity to do itIdk feels a bit aimless cause either it’s mandatory or not and I have too many things I enjoy to fit all in one day realisticallyIdk it’s odd but I’ll try just thinking less and doing it Honestly I think it makes more sense to try banning certain things than striving to do things
like basically i know how to clear my mind of distractions and set rules and shit, but i have nothing actually pulling me towards doing things THAT I ENJOY, i enjoy them i am not just telling myself i enjoy them, but there's not excitement, no anticipation, and i do not wanna live a life that is just routines
I suppose setting extremely low daily minimums might be good? Or not daily? Maybe rotate? IdkPoint being if I want to naturally do things then they just have to be part of my natural stateBut if I never do them ever my brain will never gravitate towards them
>>34524089Don't force yourself to do shit
>>34528247Why
>>34528252Because it is torturous and unfulfillingYou should just do what you want
>>34528259Read and you’ll notice I don’t want to do anything
>>34528405Then do nothingRelax
>>34528422Oh yeah I’ll go to work and come home thanks
>>34528431Pretty much. Don't even work. I know you don't want to.
>>34528444Stop trolling
>>34528558You keep replying to me because you know I'm right and somehow I'm the first person seriously telling you thisYes having a routine and a job you don't want is fucking gay and no way to live
>>34528579Nope that’s not right at all I’m just replying cause why not
>>34528589Well keep torturing yourself until you realise that i was right
>>34528756Why would you be right when you said something with zero proof or reasoning skills applied
>>34528934based, own that faggot
>>34528934Zero reasoning skills? It's plainly obvious you shouldn't do what you don't want to do.You're asking us how you can keep torturing yourself. That's really dumb.
