Easier said than done.
I've been looking back over my life a lot which I don't think is healthy . Better to look forward but then as you age that amount of time reduces. As they always cheerfully remind you, there is only one certainty in life and that is that we're all going to die.
I've been analysing how I spend my time and it hasn't been a pretty sight . Getting up late, doom-scrolling, task avoidance etc. I'm hardly likely to change much of that any time soon as It's become a habit and habits are hard to change.
Ther often seems little point in starting any new projects because let's face it, what's the point ? There will never be enough time to learn how to play the bagpipes (I know this because I tried) or learn how to draw because my attempts resemble those of a 5 year old.
When I do launch myself into a new adventure it usually runs its course within a few weeks if I'm lucky, or more likely a few days at which point I recognise the futility. I try a lot of things but I also experience a lot of setbacks and recognise my shortcomings all too quickly .
So, what is the answer ? I don't know, you tell me. It's tiring.
My current projects ? Amassing a clutch of crappy vintage items to sell at an antique fair and make a few quid. I'd be better of investing my time in researching stocks and shares and dabbling in the market. Best not even try.
