Like – Just for an example – I want to play every video game, so I end up not playing none and instead just fucking around online with stuff that doesn’t require initiative. The only override I’ve found is involving other people, I always make time for an RPG session with my friends or for hanging out and such. But I have trouble starting stuff for myself.
What do?
highly specific example. but the general advice is to figure a way that works for you.
I started reading with a pen, and write notes and comments on the book margins. it feels much more active and engaging that passive reading. more like a conversation with the author than a lecture. i write whatever, a joke, a comment a smiley face, no rules. really helps me focus on the book and think about it deeper.
