"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I have been doing some introspection in the past few days and I have noticed that when I'm not doing school work, enjoying with friends, family and acquaintances or teaching myself computer science, I spend my time doing meaningless things and activities. It's not that I'm paralyzed and do nothing, but this problem f*cks up my time management plan on a daily basis.

I know I can do this with operant conditioning, but I would like to hear the best and worst practices to fix this issue.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Are they really meaningless if you enjoy them?

Instead of looking for meaning in your life try seeking fulfillment instead. Then you won't have to validate your life based on the arbitrary definitions of what every other individual sees as meaningful.

They are sort of an addiction, or an obstacle I want to pass in order to pursue fulfillment.

Time is merely an illusion for control, It has as much significance as you give it.
Unfortunately too many people become dictated by time to the extent, they stop living in the present and are either living in their past memories or looking forward/dreading an event in the future. While their life simply flashes by, without even realizing.

Time is not your issue. If you are not willfully conducting these 'meaningless' activities for enjoyment, than it is likely it is an automated response to an upcoming stressful situation, referred to as procrastination. Until you address this situation you will likely continue spending time on the 'meaningless' activities.

If that is not the case either, than you need to acknowledge these 'meaningless' activities are actually your medium for enjoyment and not necessarily a hindrance to your life, after all you are achieving an outcome.

I actually enjoy doing nothing and just breathing.
