I'm paralyzed by interest
FandyienBut Otto, what about us? Registered Userregular
I just realized why I haven't accomplished anything the past two weeks
I am paralyzed by variegated interests
Trying to watch Battlestar Galactica, read three or four books, play three or four games, and get some stupid computer things working while simultaneously attempting to maintain some semblance of human interaction and not be a hermit is so hard
I feel like this probably happens to a lot of us
Realizing there is so much you feel like doing, you just shut down and do nothing
Well we need to know what games and books you're working on. Only then can we create a strict regiment of fun.
And yeah, I have this problem too, but mostly I just end up doing whatever's the easiest and going from there.
vsove on
WATCH THIS SPACE.

start with deus ex
then read a book
then go get some pancakes and take a nap
Finish the computer things first, then read the second book and play the third game. Once you are done with those read the third book and play the first game, leave the fourth game alone (it's crap) and return the first book to the library as you're never going to read it and give the fourth book back to the friend you borrowed it from and sell the second game because you need the money.
Only have significant human interaction on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Monday is for Battlestar Galactica, you may watch up to two episodes at a time, I would suggest watching two-parters together but that's up to you.
EDIT: Oh, now he posts lists.
Well I'm not redoing anything, you're stuck with this.
I am watching through a couple of TV series, reading two books along with going through an audiobook, playing through like 4 games, and also other things
I'm trying to get a job, trying to figure out what I want to do with college, trying to write some music, trying to start a band, trying to finish reading a book, trying to hang out with friends, trying to make new friends, playing various tabletop games
but all I end up doing is sitting on my computer and read the forums.
I'm working (10-14 hours a day, depending), playing some EQ2, learning the guitar, reading several books (just started into Nightmares and Dreamscapes, then will move to Salem's Lot), writing a novel, writing a screenplay and maintaining my apartment.
Fortunately I apparently don't need as much sleep as most people so there are generally enough hours in the day to get all of this done.
Right? I just watch the show and I love the guy to death, but in the back of my head I'm just thinking Fuck you buddy, you shouldn't get to be badass, attractive and have a cool voice.
Vsove! How is Nightmares and Dreamscapes treating you? Also what other collections have you read?
I'm actually holding off watching most of Season 3 until Season 4 comes out on DVD. Then I can just go through Season 4 and then start Season 5 when it's actually being televised.
Slowly making my way through Season 1 again, in preparation for this.
I'm working my way through a couple TV series (Burn Notice and Breaking Bad) and reading a book or four. Free, The Man In The High Castle, The Lost City of Z, and Altered Carbon. All of those are on my iPhone via Kindle so I read bits of'em when I can. I've also just started a new fitness routine and I'm monitoring my diet way better than I used to. I also picked up a handful of games on Steam lately (Monkey Island, Bioshock, etc) and I'm working my way through those when I have the spare time.
Lately a lot of my spare time has been spent at the girlfriend's parents house since apparently goddamn everyone in her family was born in July.

Also, make sure you watch only BSG or only B5 until you are done with one series, then go on to the other.
Be sure to have a couple of weeks between the end of one and the start of another. It's one thing to say that both BSG and B5 are amazing shows, but it is quite another thing to actually go from watching Edward James Olmos to Bruce Boxleitner.
playing wow (really not helping my doing other things plan)
reading a few books
gymming it and try to understand it better
still have to call to get my xbox fixed
and most of all, work on my anxiety which i have been slothful in doing
oh and i have to get through mad men before the new season comes out

Curl up into a ball on your bed and think about your biggest regrets.
That's like the only thing I have actually done
i usually just end up blankly staring at the wall, filled with self-loathing
And yeah, I have this problem too, but mostly I just end up doing whatever's the easiest and going from there.
then read a book
then go get some pancakes and take a nap

Then, READ A BOOK READ A BOOK READ A MOTHERFUCKIN BOOK
you'll get twice as little done in more than half the time
ASOIAF I can't help you with, I read it once and that was sufficient.
As for the games, whichever game you're the furthest into, finish. Then the next furthest. And so on and so forth.
I am watching through a couple of TV series, reading two books along with going through an audiobook, playing through like 4 games, and also other things
but I dunno what to make in it
have you considered a boner?
but all I end up doing is sitting on my computer and read the forums.
So, yeah.
He totally is. That bastard.
my god though, if I did chose to do a boner
well you gotta try brush for yourself it would be a goddamned convincing boner
yep
like the rats that push the meth lever until they starve to death

no job and no internship makes steve something something
