My thinking style is non-beneficial and wasteful. How can learn to think?...

This doesn't help at all...

I went to college in UK, and got +90% in all my all my exams.

The problem is I always imagine myself in different situations, and create alternate realities. I can't stop myself from stimulating the impacts of different events in the world economy! It's something that is extremely fun for me, but it absolutely non-beneficial for me. It's so bad that, whenever I am out doing anything, I am still considering the world economy.

I spent yesterday thinking how the use of GDP deflector measure impacts India's growth in 2015... And I was supposed to be building a web page! It's really bugging me whether India's GDP grew by a record 7.9% or 5-6%, as suggested by GDP deflector figures. It's burning me.

I need to relearn how to think.

It has gotten to the point where I can barely carry on a conversation because I am thinking about obscure economic tools! Whether I am in the gym, or playing rugby...

Then you failed at school. You let your imagination get the better of you. You lack focus. You lack motivation. You trained for so long in life to allow your head to float into the clouds, just like women do. This is very very bad. Like a lot of graduates, you completely missed the whole entire point of schooling, especially post secondary schooling.

Go back and get another degree. Maybe you'll learn something this time. Or better yet, absorb this quote: there are two wolves in you. One wolf is greed and laziness and procrastination and addiction and sloth and anger and defeat. The other is the opposite, which is achievements, determination, dedication, focus, drive, will & the ability to plan and implement. These two wolves are fighting every second of every day, determining which action you take. Which wolf in you wins? The one you feed. So stop feeding the bad wolf.
