@thepixelmonk could you elaborate? I am not getting it this far

@thepixelmonk I didn't say fail. I said not finishing. This is a really good example btw, I am trying to explain something to you, and if you don't get it there were no point in doing that. Also yes, we do learn a lot from failing/not finishing, but it's way disproportional what would be if I did finish the thing.

It's also happened that if I start and not finish there is pretty much no point in beginning doing that, so how do I reconcile this? I know it sounds very vague and general, but I don't know how to be more specific about this.

Isn't that fixed? As far as I know there should be a formula to calculate the exact amount of meo in hcl form.

I was quite surprised that google give me literally zero content on "How to deal with pet theories" search. I thought it is quite popular topic because all of us have pet theories and of them are wrong. I mean they are right, but only in a certain context. So there is a time when you inevitable start to notice the flaws, but still insist on using it because it's a pet theory and I just like it to much. So far I think it's just trying to look objectively when they don't fit and trying something else. ps this is half-baked post, but otherwise I am not going to post at all

I mean how much am I willing to do emotional work?

Better for posture in every other way, yet barely used.

just realized that i was stupid enough not check out his other stuff before asking

Well, of course it's not all about taking the risk, but it seems like it's impossible to progress without taking risks. I mean we can progress without taking the risks, but it's not as efficient as with risks. Also I am talking about "strategic risks"(whatever that means), I am not taking about being reckless, it's something else. Is there any interesting resources about it? (books, articles, videos) I never seen taking risks as a strategy, so I want to explore this domain.

I suppose to write something in here.

@Identity what's this test calls exactly? can't find anybody doing that in my country, so is there like a international name for this test?

The problem is that you of those retards who thinks they could learn everything. This is very cliche example, but I use it anyway. Perfect pitch. You can't learn it. I used to be like this "You can learn anything" just to learn after a decade that no.

I want to make music, but unfortunatelly I wasn't born with what it takes to be able to make it at the level I want. How do I deal with the frustration that comes from this? WARNING do NOT try to cheer me up with stuff like "you gotta try harder" or "it just takes enormous amount of effort to make" etc So for this thread we are going to assume that you have to be born with it.

I am basically afraid of starting any project or anything like that because if I don't finish it, it will be a huge waste of time. Please don't bring the "But even if you didn't finish it, you still learn something from it etc". Yes, it is a thing, I will gain something even if I spectacularly fail, but in this context it doesn't matter. It feels like lifting something very heavy to put at a high shelf, if I don't lift it enough I need to start again. There is always this thing "If it's not going to be finished, there is no point in starting it. Start only if you are going to finish it. I know I am not going to finish it, so I don't start. This text is a very good example of it. I try to understand how it works, I put some effort and if I didn't get to the bottom of it, all the effort of me writing this text will be wasted. ps I see it's poorly asked question, but if I don't post, it's even worse, you know why.

btw I believe that books about procrastination is just a form of procrastination, you can't avoid the labour, yet there is something actually useful could be said about the subject
