I’m a very obsessive person, and it’s just kinda something I’ve had to live with, but ever since graduating, the lack of structure has been leading to some awful and unhealthy habits that I’d love to lose.
I do a lot of gig work with large gaps in between, which leaves a lot of free time that I wish I was using better. I have long term aspirations I should be working towards, but they don’t have their teeth in me the same way wasting the day playing video games or watching movies do. When I’m set on something, I can do it sun up to sun down, don’t even have to eat, and it would be great if I could find a way to convert that energy into something productive. I’m tired of all the sleep I lose lying in bed obsessing over meaningless things, and thinking about the stuff I want to do instead of doing it. Any advice is welcome.

my best advice is try to channel that same obsession into the betterment of self. obsess on working out. on your free time, obsess on reading. obsess on doing puzzles. obsess on finding out random bits of information. obsess on finding healthier eating. obsess on budgeting better. in a nutshell – be obsessed with yourself! (in a non-conceited way, of course)
