Lately, I’ve been feeling unproductive, so I try to keep my busy by taking on more hobbies, but I don’t think it’s working.
So far, my day consists of (in chronological order):
- checking personal e-mail and RSS feeds in the morning
- work
- gym M/W/F
- attempting to play guitar
- playing PS2
- ’spending time’ with The BF (usually playing BF2)
- messing around with PHP
- knitting
- reading a book
My day is pretty packed, but I still find myself feeling bored and unproductive. Something’s missing, but I don’t know what. Is this some sort of post partum school disorder? Before, while I was still in school, my goal is to graduate, which I did. Then, my goal was to find a nice job I liked, which I also did. Now that those two goals have been accomplished, I feel like I have nothing else to strive for.
Instead of being emo about it, I have just right now, this very instant, decided on my next goal: six figure salary. Hopefully, this goal will last me a long time and I won’t be so bored.
That goal should keep you busy for a while – but it can also suck the life out of you.
Why not go for 8 figure salary, it’ll give you some more headroom.
