I have lately been wasting most of my time thinking about how much time it would take to write down all the things i've planned on writing, which i constantly end up doing rather than writing it one paragraph at a time like i know i should.
Once i get in this endless loop of purposeless sense of aimlessness arising from temporal dysfunction of the quantitive methods of my existential reflection, i always end up reflecting on the shortness of the human lifespan thus just wasting more of the limited time i as a biological machine have left on this planet.
While in this mindset, i also keep constantly getting distracted by the mundane and tedious forms of entertainment this world has to offer. Hopefully i'll be able to manage this tendency better once i have systematically gone through all of it. [/sarcasm]
This is a really annoying flaw in the human psyche and probably one of the most difficult ones to get rid of. How can a person self-program oneself to totally ignore immediate gratification without losing ones moral compass in the process?
This is one of the most difficult questions i have yet conceived of, partly because it is deeply rooted in low level biological aspects of human psychology, which in itself could lead one to wonder whether there really is an answer. This in turn would just mean it was the wrong question, but if that is the case then what would be the right question to ask? That's the question.
