I think I have an addiction

I feel like I don't do enough work and I hate myself for it. Like I need projects to feel worthwhile, but I always find roadblocks to most of them and never finish. Then I end up forgetting all the projects and browse Facebook. I need to take notes and be more organized.

Hahaha I know how you feel. You first need to remember why you took on the projects in the first place. As for roadblocks what kind of roadblocks? Some you can get past by asking others, some you need to do on your own. Depending on what you are doing you might have to either drop them or push back the ETA of completion. One foot at a time.

The problem here isn't you dude. It's all the distractions. I know this from experience, but you should try to force yourself away from all distractions to keep you from procrastinating. Then, once you hit that roadblock, try to get past it. Don't give up! For example, if you're writing an essay and suddenly you come to a part where you don't know how to write it, try restarting the paragraph. Don't give up! And yes, staying organized is crucial too. Once you've done all of these, you'll be done with your projects and feel happier in no time!


Also, you could get Brain Age: Concentration Training to improve focus. :/

I have an addictive personality and its dangerous. I get addicted to certain games . I get addicted to people which is kinda weird but it happens. I get addicted to sugary drinks, music... But for the most part they dont last long.

My addiction to GBAtemp has yet to wane though...

I also have a rather addictive personality and it tends to cause issues when unchecked. Currently I've been addicted to the game "Kingdom Hearts Union χ" and I have literally been playing it every single day since October. I also have a rather serious problem with caffeine, I literally get a headache if I don't drink something with caffeine in it within an hour after I've woken up.

I never have less than 2 projects being worked on at once. I have to keep myself occupied and busy, so I built arcade hardware. Very fun stuff to learn. 99% of it is solderless, and the software setup is noob-friendly for the most-part. Once you add your games and set your controls and shaders, you're golden, and can usually sell arcade cabinets for a few grand, only costing a few hundred in materials and some hours assembling. But you can use really cheap hardware like a $35 Raspberry Pi 3 and an old LCD screen from GoodWill, instead of PC hardware to save yourself hundreds of dollars and electricity too.

Buy Random shit, and get a notebook, write idea's in the note book, Then look at them later.

Set yourself a goal, and everytime you waver, Just think of the goal, It won't work everytime, but it does help.

I'd rather play games than do school, But if I lolly gag anymore I won't graduate by age sixteen. It's hard, and I always fall down, but I am almost there. Just do a little bit more longer, Go an extra mile too.

I have future projects too, Portable steam machine, Mechanical keyboard, Motorcycle at some point, An actual Phone with extra's, and a Gaming computer. I have other things obviously, My main goal at the moment is getting done school, so I can leave this household, and move on with my life.

    Are you near sea/salt water, or in general they just don't last. Sounds like if you driving a mercedes, you need a garage. I get snow n ice here so nothing worse than clearing that shit off at 6am rushing to get to work.
