Finding ways to distract yourself - FractalBomb - 01-25-2017
Do you ever just find yourself trying to find ways to distract yourself?
Now is such a time for me. In between major releases, steep learning curves and newly erupting business ventures.
How do you stay focused?
Prior to being broke (I'm actually not broke anymore) I had my own online "stream of conscious" site where I'd just go ( no matter what computer I was on ) and start spewing anything that came to my mind, then I'd take that stream and structure it.
Talking to yourself is very productive. It also made things easier on me because I hate being isolated from the world. Sharing my work online helped me stay connected to people.
Connection to people I think is my personal struggle right now. Trying to connect to people is how I distract myself, but it's also what I desperately need.
Yep. Random threads.

Well let me tell you something Fedora man,
It would appear on the surface that you are trying to escape something desperately. This is usually a reaction to extreme amounts of stress in which your body cannot physically handle anymore and so it does anything to get away from it.
I wonder, Do you ever feel lethargic or extremely tired even though you know you shouldn't be?
If so I'm gunna recommend that you do the following:
1. Get a consistent amount of sleep. I recommend either 7.5 hours or 9 hours. If thats not doable, you can try 6
2. Eat healthy and get some exercise in. I don't care if you larp or fuck ur gf 4 times a day, just get some cardiovascular exercise and don't be a lazy bitch about it. Even walking can be beneficial.
3. Manage your stress better. Find a free day where you can sit down and when you are motivated and work out a plan or algorithm for yourself to follow.
I know I sound like a broken record but fuck you. What I'm telling you is essential for your human body. Don't be a fucking moron and think you can just avoid it. You need nutrition, sleep, and a way to manage your stress. If you can't do any of these, you're going to kys. Start with the sleep or eating. You will recharge yourself enough to master the other. Finally do the third option. Get a plan and you will be less stressed about being stressed. Believe me it helps.

I rarely have issues distracting myself, but I also hold different values than most people.

You sound a bit like me about a year or so ago. Feels bad man. If you really need distraction find an interest. Sleep non-stop. Or (dare i say it) take drugs just control it.
