1) physical - these steps should help with procrastination but you will also thank me in 10 years
- eat properly at roughly the same time each day
- do basic physical exercises (squats, pushups, plank, etc.)
- also do exercises for your neck and eyes
- go to sleep and wake up at roughly the same time each day, at least 7 hours of sleep
- drink plenty of water (colour of your pee is a rough indicator of the level of dehydration)
- ensure fresh air (low oxygen concentration fucks up your brain, makes you sleepy, can cause headaches, etc.)
- shower every day, use skincare, clean your room periodically, have everything in order
2) emotional
Self-reflection is super important but don't wallow in self-pity. Be kind and sensitive to others and your family and friends. Try to not blame others or yourself, objectively identify the issues and how you can prevent something in the future.
And only AFTER that you should work on your hobbies/skills.
3) - mix different types of activities (drawing/sitting behind desk/etc. for tool long (hour+)? Take a break, do some squats, look out of a window
- plan ahead with different schedule frequencies (e.g., this week - finish this one thing. By the end of the month I want to achieve this. Etc. The more you do this, the farther you'll be able to plan ahead)
- realistic goals
- no toxic communities but no echo chambers either
- don't succumb to choice paralysis by downloading hundreds of books and progressing nowhere
And remember, anon - you should aim to become a person you, yourself, would find interesting to be friends with!
Talent is pretty much an excuse to be shit at something. Almost everything comes with TIME and PRACTICE (maths, theoretical physics, languages, musical instruments, programming, drawing, etc.). It is very, very unlikely that you lack physical or neurophysiological features that stop you from becoming decent at most of the activities out there.
