goal management
Stalling 6 months ago

So I have set out to accomplish a small set of goals yet I have trouble breaking these down into more specific objectives and assigning actions to them for week to week.

Because my goals aren’t really tackleable and I often tackle too many at once, I in turn get really frustrated and then ruin any semblance of progress that I’ve made.

How am I supposed to move forward when I can’t break down my goals and when I can’t map out the specific interfering factors?

The Verdict is in 9 months ago

Well, I tried going out to a friends party only to walk out without saying goodbye to practically everyone because I couldn’t think/concentrate and I felt pretty dull/dumb.

I’m not sure I can ever really mange the social scene. I’m a vegetable in this manner.

Indifference, Self-consciousness and dullness 9 months ago

Sometimes I really think I am a vegetable. If not geared to actually do things with people, I sink into states of nothingness. I have to make thinking deliberate, or I just passively take in everything.

What I want to specifically bring up is my dull/quietness that exists independently of other people and also that which emerges in social situations. It’s hard to decipher how one and the same they are.

But I feel tremendously dull and unable to think up good thoughts when I’m with people. Then when alone, I have to force myself to actually do more meaningful activities. Sometimes I feel I could just bide time simply through checking my email or doing really mindless repetitive tasks.

I’m not sure what to target to get rid of. I’m just sick of feeling so passive and aimless.
