>get a 5-day break free of any compromises or work >didn't

Anon same is happening to me. I have a SHIT LOAD of free time, and I am not doing shit. Occasionally going out to smoke some weed, but mostly in my house losing time. I don't know what to do.

It might not seem like helpful advice but honestly, buddy, the way to do things is just to do them.

Yea, but how do I "trigger" myself to do it?

It's okay to take breaks from it all. Sometimes a man just needs time for himself.

Are you a man? You are lucky enough to have breaks. Some men don't have that luxury. Remember that you are part of a brotherhood of men. Doing shit we have to do despite not wanting to do it is built into us. We do it because we're men. Are you a man? Then fucking do it.

Look at yourself in the mirror. Are you a man?

Realtalk, consider mindfulness exercises or meditation. Break your routine by not letting yourself go to the computer/phone and start checking 4chan when you wake up. Go for a run or something first, then consider your next actions and do what you want to do instead of letting yourself be dragged by habit.

There aren't any easy answers though. At some point you just have to consider two courses of action and choose the delayed gratification rather than the immediate.

Ugh. I can't describe how much time I've wasted wrestling with this issue. Staring at the ceiling, planning my day... For hours on end. Knowing exactly the things you want to and can do, but not doing them. Just sitting around, waiting for the motivation to strike. Some sort of external factor to light the fuse. Like constantly ready to run, just waiting for the starter pistol to go off....

Unfortunately there is no starter pistol. You have to take initiative and just GO

The important thing to consider is momentum. It's hard to break into a sprint from a standstill. It's easier to start small and build up momentum to bigger, more complex tasks. Eventually you've accomplished things instead of just thought about them.
