What are your current personal goals and projects in life? What is your motivation for them?

rubifenrx · 2015-02-05T19:12:27+00:00

Get active.

Go join a group, form one yourself (MeetUp, Uolala etc etc) and get busy. Get busy, dont stop.

A man gets things done!

Learn other aspects of coding (Im starting to code myself, been a Business Analyst for some time, also a Salesforce Admin for some years too).

Sports, hobbies, learn new and exciting things.

Relate to people! If you need more advice, let me know.

BTW, Im 34, didnt go to University, self taught, worked since I was 16 years old, worked all sorts of jobs.....my life has been hard but beautiful as well.

And guess what? Ive failed hardest when in a relationship. Women are vampires of your energy and time.

Old fart here so professional ambitions were met a few years ago, reached "critical mass" and I don't ever have to work again unless the project interests me. Now I just do the things that are fun. Trying to learn Russian to find out if the "great Russian literature" is better in Russian, take the occasional University course but am thinking of getting another degree, this time in Math.

I'm all about self improvement at the moment, mentally and physically.

Things I'm learning about/doing:

Working out for muscle mass

Losing weight

Reading, both fiction and non-fiction

Meditation

My current passion is creative writing, learning all the nuances of how to write, short stories, even wrote a really crappy novel, just to see if I could finish it, which I did. I don't really care if the novel is good, I just wanted to go through the entire process, the structure an discipline to get 80,000+ words down. Mission accomplished, now to actually start writing something worth reading.

But I don't really fancy more coding when I get home. Not depressed, but not motivated. When I'm like this I only want to consume entertainment.

This is normal. It's because you are working. If you do not rest & party in your spare time, you will burn out. Burn out is a real thing, not just an idiom.

My personal goals right now is to learn everything I can about Linux operating systems their functionality how they work differences from Windows etc.,

I've always had a high sex drive. I'm trying to restore my foreskin so that I can start having more satisfying sex. I'm also trying to figure out how to get my gf to lose ~20% of her body weight, and I'll finish my chem degree in a few months.

My short term goals are: - Get rid of half my shit and move to a smaller place/bachlor to save money (preferably within walking distance to work) - Better diet and hit the gym more often - feed my savings account better - QUIT SMOKING!!! - work on a oculus rift + control vr related project (loosely based on ready player one) - read all books of The Culture saga - go down to south america to Snowboard in the summer too :D

phallic_audio · 2015-02-06T01:22:21+00:00

you know the dos equis guy? Yeah, have a movie worthy life story by the time I start to go gray.

Watchful1ntervention · 2015-02-06T01:55:07+00:00

Get into better shape, make some new friends, and step up my efforts to save as I work towards early retirement. I want out of the rat race at earliest convenience.

Sulurith · 2015-02-06T02:44:38+00:00

I've been really buckling down and trying to learn how to speculate on currency and commodity markets in a profitable way. Optimistically, I'll be making some money at it this summer after 4-5 years of on-and-off learning and some much more serious commitment now.

Even more optimistically is that I'll be able to live off of the income from that pursuit in ~6 years or less.

Also taking a couple of university courses and learning statistics/hacking skills to improve at my data analytics/machine learning job that I will hopefully be able to keep until such a time that I don't need that income any longer.

I could be doing more to learn more skills for my job, but I'd much rather focus on the speculation/investment because that is the only realistic way I see myself being my own boss, unless I can come up with a great entrepreneurial idea.

Long term goal is to be independent and be able to enjoy a hobby of driving/building cars/motorcycles/karts etc.

A secondary goal is losing weight/getting in better shape. That will be easier by the mid/end of march when the weather is more friendly to cycling. I live only a couple of miles from my office now so riding won't be a problem, but it's not worth doing it when its less than 10 degrees out in the morning like it is here most of these cold winter days.

Get maximum enjoyment out of every minute I have left, no matter what will give me that.

No more "empty" minutes/hours/days that I can't even justify to myself 24 hours later.

SmoothPrimal · 2015-02-06T09:50:23+00:00

Currently I'm trying to juggle trying to master 4 skills at once.

I'm currently excited about incorporating mindfulness meditation into my everyday life. In particular, I really like an empowering new type of positive psychological therapy called "ACT" (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). I believe it meshes well with the goals of MGTOW for multiple reasons:
