So my main problem in life is that I’m more of a dreamer and thinker than a doer. I have amazing book and story ideas but I have finished none of them. I have been at the same company for four years now despite wanting a better job (or at least one in my actual field, or even in writing since that’s my side passion).
I have applied places online before but despise the process of applications and I haven’t had much luck online. The company I work for has a decent salary (not nearly as much as I want) but has good benefits and fun people. Still I’m not content there and there is very little room for any more promotions and my raises are semi frequent but small. I’m done there. But can’t leave. I find myself too tired every day after work to accomplish any side work like writing or applications. I have some time for sure but just can’t bring myself to do it instead of relaxing or playing video games. I have tried telling myself everything. Every day I say tomorrow. I say I will never be happy in life unless I start that very next morning. (Usually already night time while thinking this) Just DO IT! Doesn’t seem to work for me. I live alone so it’s very easy to lounge around with no one to judge.
If you have any serious advice I would appreciate it. Especially if you’ve felt a similar way before. I have a feeling several of us mid to late 20s people have struggled with this if our degrees didn’t land us the greatest job (or even one in our field) out of the gate.

2 AntwortenI’ve suffered from procrastinating all my life. It’s even something my therapist has helped me with. When you’re telling yourself “I’ll do it tomorrow,” take a step back. Ask yourself if you’re lying to yourself... deep down don’t you know you won’t do it tomorrow either? There may be an underlying reason you don’t want to proceed with whatever task. Think about what that may be. It may go deeper than mere laziness.
