Master Don Juan
In the past 8 months I kinda derailed my social life in order to finish my college degree (finishing various courses and doing a 5 month internship where I built a piece of software and wrote a thesis about it). I've always had my own business while studying so things took much longer than I had hoped for because I usually chose loyalty to my customers over my degree. That was a mistake and in order to finally finish that dreadful thing I decided to lock myself and get it done.
My track record of poor prioritizing in the past showed that at least for that moment it was smart to reduce factors that could interfere with my goal. I quit doing business activities, quit a 2 day job I had somewhere and put all my attention of getting my degree.
I worked long days and usually at the end of the day I was so exhausted that I didn't have energy to go climbing and started neglecting my social life as well. On top of that I discovered I was allergic to gluten and nuts and had to radically change my diet. Especially in the beginning I missed meals because I rather had hunger than itch that felt like my whole body was on fire.
Because I used to have a pretty vibrant social life the change was hard to cope with. I was bored often and started to fill up my spare time with the consumption of cannabis (consumption is legal over here). I had a wonderful relationship with this substance as a sleeping aid and out of boredom I turned it into an abusive one. Instead of helping me fall asleep at nights I couldn't absolutely sleep it became my daily evening activity. Something I'm sure most of you will look down upon, and I must agree with that.
I have finished the work concerning my degree and only need to tie up some loose ends before I'm finished. But in the meantime, I turned a large portion of my life into a wreck. Looking back I think I should've applied a bit more personal mastery in some areas. But I also believe I would've messed up parts of my rounding up my degree in different lifestyle. I am aware that there is a major flaw I need to work on, and for that I need some advice. And what better place than the masters of self improvement at SoSuave.
To begin, I've cleaned and stashed away my smoking devices. This sh*t has gone on long enough and needs to end. I realize I can't go back to the former relationship I had so gonna quit altogether. Right before christmas gives me the worst of the sleeplessness and loss of appetite when it won't influence my performance. Starting thursday I'll also go back to sports climbing twice a week and once a week yoga. I'll also start with a morning routine where I do crunches, pushups, etc. I'm going to re-read the DJ Bible.
But here's the thing: I've always been very chaotic and I can't plan if my life depended on it. I can't seem to keep track of various things if I don't write them down. It's not like I'm retarded or stupid, it's just that I often forget things and can't plan. I've asked for help in that department before, and people would reply with "Well, just do it", but that's like telling a blind person to just see, because I have no freaking clue how to organize it all, so that when in the future I have a life changing activity, I don't need to destroy the things I worked so hard for.
