• What types of harm do you do to yourself on a constant basis that you wish, e.g., an accountability partner would help you out of?
• In this topic, you'll tell us and we'll help you out! Hate us today, love us tomorrow. That's how we roll.
• Please tell us about your bad habits and fixations first.

I still have the very common problem of not doing work I don't want to do

Umm I don't think anyone dreams of work they hate but I got your point, sir!

1. What kind of work do you have now?
2.  The type of work that you wouldn't dislike

What kind of work? 

Basically the type of work that you're doing for no other purpose than income. I was also a terrible student and dropped out of school because I saw the work as pointless and couldn't bring myself to focus enough on it.

I have difficulties to stop smoking pot, eating junk food, distracting myself on the internet, staying in my room.

And I want to do more meditation, exercise and creative projects.

This is basically what I'm working on. More focus on creativity and less dawdling around.

Neill, you may be too evolved to enjoy working for a capitalist who makes piles of money not doing the work they hate to do - your job! You may be too evolved to be enthusiastic about being forced into a manipulative institution that is designed to make you feel stupid, and get used to working mindlessly in capitalist industry - right class, school. I suggest you feel lucky that you can feel something other than sheepish willingness and be your own boss, thats right- dont work for other people, invent your own reality -I know you want to 

Philip lets try using your weaknesses as strengths, all we have to do is organize them differently. Try this out - First put on shoes  and sports clothes and go outside, second smoke bowl, third run to park and rip around the track for half an hour, fourth buy bannanas and junk food to snack on after the inspiring run, fifth go home and draw up plans for creative projects before the weed wears off, sixth do all of this in a meditative state and your good to go.

If you want FL Studio advice, just ask

Finding our favorite meditation routine and sticking to it is the most productive technique I can think of for our problem.

I don't think I need to go into the details of why I think so. Meditation is pretty powerful for all domains of life.

I'm able to do 90 minutes of strong determination sitting. If I did it everyday, I would be another human being entirely.

I've been playing around with Renoise. Do you do a lot of music production?

Completely agree.

I think I'm getting close! Was able to do 70 minutes yesterday. Getting closer to that ideal 90 minutes. Once I'm there I don't imagine it'll be that much of a stretch to fit it in most days. Looking forward to it.

I released 7 songs in a year, got 1300 followers, and then stopped and focused on self-help two years ago.

Ok you're in the momentum of your routine right now. Nice! I stopped being consistent in my routine a few months ago and I can't seem to be able to get back on track. Even if I feel like I'm on the verge of something great these days, it seems like I'm missing a spark to light my purpose on fire.

Nice work! I'll message you when I start producing my own tracks (won't be for awhile, but something I really want to get started on as soon as I'm able).

I haven't been meditating for that long (only been a few weeks since I've established it as a daily habit) so we'll see how things progress, but I know what you mean. Motivation is a very fickle thing when we feel lost or when the benefits aren't immediately obvious in our lives. When I'm in these situations, instead of getting stuck and trying to force some result out, I've been starting to take Leo's advice that I just need more life experience. Change up the routine, make new friends, discuss new ideas, visit new places, take up new hobbies, join new meetups and communities.. basically do what you can to put yourself in new creative and inspirational environments- ones that will be conducive towards revitalizing your motivation and passion in place of the opposite.

I'm sure Leo's advice is on place. How many hours do you rack up per week?

Chimpressive.

Wellll you could begin by asking your boss if he/she accepts you doing job-crafting. It's customizing your workplace according to your wishes.

You could tell your boss outright while you're eating together that you don't like your work but you need money still. They may come up with something. Say them that you still appreciate the work.
