to get good results in any arena you have to be persistent
but what about people with scattered interests, there's gotta be ways for us to succeed

actually the heart of this problem for me is
feeling like i have to spend all day coercing myself to do stuff i dont want to do, and wanting my hobbies/side-hustle(s) to feel noncoercivr

but i think what's happening is that i'm taking some weird avoidant approach that does. not. work.

p sure everything i've thought was a lack of direction is actually just me avoiding things once i've lost interest
anyone know of quick and dirty tips to get things done noncoercively

i don't think quick and dirty works for this kind of thing i think you kinda gotta get your shit together and work through some stuff and find some loving support and all that other bullshit 😅

i would also like to know, kinda trying to do that rn
it is a pretty open-ended process of testing out different ways of like... doing?
like should i make plans and execute them, should i just do whatever i feel like, should i do what my stomach wants or what my chest wants

i think the trick to that is sticking with something long enough to get data
but if the whole problem is not being able to stick to things...

eh i'm not worried about that rn. the data i'm collecting is like "did that action feel good to take 10 milliseconds after taking it" and that data is easy to collect quickly and haphazardly without ever thinking about it
with my feelings 😤
