NEW VIDEO: The EASIEST Way to Stop Gaming

Reading two books at once is pretty good tbh. Used to do it all the time. Things get interesting if they're both fiction since they then kinda blend into your mind as you're thinking about them during the day, and I imagine this can happen between fiction and nonfiction books too.

Also comic sans seems to be infecting the forum. Should we be worried.

DAY-52 (After Relapse)

After watching "How to stop consuming content" by @Cam Adair I can say that Mastery will be the last personal development thing I'll do for a while. Since over the course of 1 year I've watched "TONS" of personal development videos , I've read  a bunch of articles. And I can say proudly that I haven't  done a single thing wich  would have improved my social skills , expanded my social circle or any of that ( despite beating procrastination... kind of ;) ). So yeah , I'll stop for a while and I'll try to get use of what I have acquired over one year.

DAY-54 (After Relapse)

Didn't post anything yesterday  cuz I was lazy and it was like 10:00PM anyways.

What is your approach to being productive? 

I don't think that I have one. After finishing my morning routine  I get straight into rhyming. I guess I can call my "Morning Ritual" as an approach to being productive. But I forget to do it sometimes lol. Anyways , the day was nice , I've done a lot of reading , been more productive than yesterday that's  why I didn't write anything.

DAY-55 (After Relapse)

Finally , woke up at 8:00AM and left my bed after 10mins. Not like after 1hour like yesterday. Afterwards,  I've did my morning ritual. Then came 4hours of rhyming and it was aight. In short a normal day. I don't have any special things to brag about.

That's awesome. I bet it's no coincidence you were more productive when you didn't lay in bed for an hour. I've tested this with myself and if I lay in bed for an hour first thing in the morning I basically get NOTHING done the rest of the day. It's so obvious in my life. :)

DAY-58 (After Relapse)

Didn't post anything for 2 days since I wanted to take a break from computer screen. Last night I've went to bed at 1:15AM, so I've failed to wake up at 8:00AM (I've watched a movie). So yeah , I've failed to start off my day strongly ( I guess that happens sometimes). Couldn't do anything for the rest of the day since I had to help my parents around the house ( It took like 4hours from me). Afterwards I've felt tired and didn't have the strength/willpower to be productive.

DAY-60 (After Relapse)

Had a dream about gaming. I think that's the 3rd one as far as I remember. I wonder how many I'm going to have in the future. I was playing a game wich I've never played before. The game  was  set in the American Civil war era. I was running around  with a  Springfield model 1861 rifle in a forest and shooting down rebels. The most fucked up part was that the graphics were ugly as shit, and it was laggy as hell. But when I tried to change the settings to reduce the lag , I immediately woke up. I guess my brain ran out of creativity :D

DAY-61 (After Relapse)

It's been pouring rain for the whole day. So yeah it's kinda depressing and relaxing at the same time. Not complaining tho.. there's nothing better then reading a book/rhyming while it's thunderstorming/raining outside :P. It was alright today. A quite "productive day" I'd say, although it was quite hard to stay  focused.

DAY-64 (After Relapse)

It was quite hard to fall asleep last night, since my neighbours were disturbing my harmony by playing music out loud. LIKE REALLY  FOR A VERY LONG TIME... Enough of rambling about annoying neighbours, I think some of us have them.

                                 3726dc4108adc438571780ab4cf73d7c06f004e0

Failed to wake up early today. Afterwards it was quite hard to get back on track but I did it.By the way, while I browsing the internet I've found an ad wich we all should be aware of:yas.thumb.PNG.dad645bba552f524c6e1ee5507

Also what the hell is Discord. Is this one of them weird new things kids now use like Snapchat?

No it's nothing like  Snapchat :D  Discord is a free voice&text chat app. You have the choice to download it or just use it through your browser. It's like if Skype and Teamspeak had a baby it would be Discord. You only need to register.

Day-68 (After relapse)             

                             !!!Warning!!!

                         You better read this

The day was alright, had a dream about games. There's one thing that bothers me for the past 9 months and I have to get this of my chest.. You see I want to be a successful rapper , LIKE REALLY I WANT TO BE ( wannabe here). But the thing is that, it's hard for me to do it , since my brain can't stay focused for a very long time ( but it got better than it was before) or even better I feel lazy or like it's boring to me (rapping). Probably because my brain expects immediate results of improvement.But that ain't the main problem...The thing that bothers me the most is "FEAR". And yes I know  that I should definitely "chase my dreams or die trying", but wouldn't that be a bold move?. At this point it would be like lottery. Like whenever I think of it, what kind of things I need to do, and what are the consequences if I fail , it makes me sick. And I can't even get myself out of the fucking house, not even talking about rapping in front of other people. Hell , Gamequitters is the first place where I talk openly what I want to do in the future. My parents don't even know about this "I want to be a rapper thing". Even worse , Hip Hop is not popular in my country at all. That's why I'm thinking of emigrating to USA , but where would I live? What kind of job I would get? How I'd get access to stay there? And I'd be completely alone there.I know that this sounds ridiculous and far fetched. And yes,I understand that success doesn't happen overnight, and I have a long way to go , but I didn't even start my journey. Especially I'm running out of time, since in 2 years I'll turn 18, and afterwards I'll have to choose what to do with my life (get a job or continue my studies). For the worse , they're no topics that I show a lot of interest in school. Man, when I look at my classmates or my friends, it  seems that they don't care so much. Like what I want to say is that most of them are going to finish school, join a University/College or get a job and live an ordinary life ( I've nothing against it and I think it's completely fine). I could  choose this way, but I don't want to live a life this. I feel that it's not for me , like I can do something bigger. And I have an analytical mindset so I think more then I do... Man, I'm only 16 but so much pressure on my shoulders that I want to vomit sometimes, I guess this is how "holding fate in your own hands" feels like. I'm faced by so many odds and questions and 0 answers.I feel so insecure.

Ok main Points I take out of your entry is that you wish to be a professional Rapper and that you are in fear of going all in at this dream.

Basically just start moving to a concrete Goal you can accomplish in under 6months. Go all in at this Goal. If you realise it isn't working out you can reevalulate your Situation after this 6months and check if it is a viable choice for you. Be reminded that if you choose what to do at 18 your path is not set in Stone. Most People don't get it right at the first try. You can always start going in a different direction. It is impossible to plan a life in front. You just don't know what will happen and how you will feel in a few years.

Best way is to have  a principle idea of what you want in 5-10 years. And plan more precisly for the next 6 months. You get more precise the further you come to the present. And you immediatly plan something for tomorrow which will get you a babystep further to your Goals. Lets take the idea to get a famous rapper:

Try to analyze what you actually can do now. are their any Clubs in your area where you could try perform?

If the Answer is yes: set a date and prepare a show until this date. Then perform. Tell you family first and perform before them. make a bigger Goal.

If the answer is no: set a date until you present a YouTube Video with a rapsong. Learn how to make a Video. Make a awesome song. Post it in YouTube. make a bigger Goal.

PS: it is always helpful to find a likeminded community. maybe check this(http://rapbattles.com/forum/forum.php) out or find something similar.

Here's the thing about pursuing your dreams. It has little to do with "rapping" and a lot more to do with emotional mastery. Pursuing your dreams is HARD, not because of the technical aspect but because it brings up a lot of fear, doubt, anxiety, etc. So you need to focus on mastering these emotions and learning to ride the wave. :)
