"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near 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.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

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.
