Maybe it’s the middle age in me, I can’t afford to waste time on frivolous pursuits.
I tried this mental exercise by Jordan Peterson called something like Future Authoring, it was like $10 . But it really makes you define what is important, and specifically why it is important, and then you have to rank your priorities. And you have to think about what would happen to you and your loved ones if you did not keep the priorities. So you are both chasing a goal, and running away from the personal hell of not reaching those goals. If nothing else it made me spend time thinking and writing about what is important, and acting on it.
Maybe it’s a placebo but my training has become more consistent since I did it. Whatever works, I guess. Your mileage may vary.
