I’ve been procrastinating hard lately. I mean… hard.
Just been super lazy, it seems like.
I look back at the past two years and I was always so busy… I mean, just a recent month like May is a real good example.
In May I was working two jobs, eating 5 decently healthy meals during the day, doing p90x, writing this blog, going out gaming, and I dated probably more chicks in a month than I ever had before.
Then, I look at me recently. In July, I worked no jobs. I still managed to do my p90x everyday, but outside of that nothing was constant. I mean some days I’d get off my ass and hit the library or a few coffee shops and work on my resume and read some books and shit. I’d go out and game on the weekends, but I didn’t even hit none of the chicks up and set up any dates. For the most part, I was at home fucking around.
I get out later than I say I’m going to do. By the time I’m first leaving the house the days it’s like damn, the day’s almost over, what the fuck?
I think having a job, having a set place to be every morning at a certain time, forces me to wake up and get on my shit. That keeps me from procrastinating, at least somewhat. I do a lot more when I’m busy.
You’d think with all this free time I have now not working, I’d be out day gaming more and shit like that, but nope, not at all. I day gamed more when I had a job and had no free time.
Free time is the death of me. Shit makes me lazy.
The only way, I’ve been able to somewhat combat this is before I go to sleep at night, make like an hour-by-hour itinerary of exactly what I’m going to do the next day, and set an alarm to wake up at a certain time. Only problem there is, I still like to hit snooze a few times – hell, I even did that when I had a job.

hey willy wonka, can i have your op on this? http://eaglepua.wordpress.com/

WW this is very true. When I visit my parents, for example, I never have to do anything for myself. So I end up just bumming around, and I feel SO lethargic. Then, when I go back home and have to actually do stuff for myself, my energy levels go right back up. I think it is important for many people to have some kind of active routine. Unless you are one of those ultra self-motivated people (which I am not), it’s easy to fall into a rut.
Get out of your hometown and back to da city.
Actually this post refers more to my last month in my old city.
Now, that I’m at my parents house, just the thought that I don’t really want to be here has gotten me off my ass and hitting the job search harder….
I know what you mean
Those lazy phases are good for you in moderation though..
they let you reflect and relax a little bit.
I’ve found that as long as you’re having fun nothing else matters
Wonka I can fucking relate to you bro, two months ago i was in your shoes, was working two jobs, 55 hours or more a week. Still would hit the field maybe once or twice a week, go to the gym 3-4 times a week
Then boom I get fired now I got an extra forty hours, I have been on the computer the last two months then I have been in the last 10. Shit is rough, not helping my trying to lose weight situation by sitting around and laying in my bed all day
I can really relate to this. Growing up on videogames and elios pizza, getting out of the house always required a huge push. Hell, even my dissatisfaction with getting no pussy or having few friends made me get off my ass most of the time.
I’ve found if I make plans ahead of time with other people, it obligates me to go out. Like you said, setting an alarm or having a designated plans also works. Maybe if you can hook up with a group of really active people you’ll dig a way out. Either way, I’m sure you’ll figure it out.

Yep. I am the exact same way. If I have free time, I am going to do nothing. I do my best gaming when I am busy as shit.
