>>14251937Mine too. I feel you. I've been trying to figure out how to turn that 'bandwidth' to think about useful/practical shit.
>>14249203It's the same old story with any personal improvement: set goals that you're actually impassioned enough about that you will be motivated enough to pursue them for a extended period of time. Find a series of milestones or subgoals that will allow you to acquire the skills (and the encouragement) to reach that overarching goal. A good way to do that is to find small projects that will force you to master a specific and isolated skill, for example, "complex thought" so what does that mean to you? Is that logistical planning or would that be something like mathematics - would that involve coding or would that involve set theory? Whatever the case, set yourself a sub-goal that requires you to learn that skill. Crucial is finding a steady source of feedback, be it an online course, or some sort of way you can check if you are indeed learning those skills.
Make sure to always keep the end goal in mind, be proud of yourself every time you master a sub-goal or skill, and if you are not making progress try and investigate why and then create a new sub-goal to overcome that hurdle.
