This is my biggest fear. Having the same problems now at 40. I look at my dad and as much as I swore I'd never let myself have his same work ethic (push hard, than go at 1/4 pace for 90% of the time).
Reality is that I'm worse than I've ever seen him right now. I can go for a few days without doing a single git commit. I have a team under me that makes it look to my superiors as if shit is getting done. And when I need to I can pound out really really good code and save the day.
Yeah...I need a therapist or something
- TheZenPsycho 13y agoA therapist can be a great help. There's lots of other things that can help. You'll get a lot of advice in this thread. Just to throw this out there, in case nobody has mentioned it, I cannot emphasise enough the importance of sleep for mental health, anxiety, and procrastination. You can do a lot of stuff, and mostly it will be ineffective unless you have the solid 8 hours every day as your foundation.
- procastatron 13y agoHave more sex is easier said than done... Also, I'm definitely going to get a therapist after this. Looked around and found some area ones. I'll make an appointment "later" :)
- TheZenPsycho 13y agoyou make 130k, you have a whole team working under you, and you are 21 years old, and you have trouble getting laid. That's it, this guy is a troll.
- procastatron 13y agoI don't see why that's hard to believe. I'm very good at selling myself and my skillset but I'm deathly afraid of girls.
- TheZenPsycho 13y agoWell sure, but you have lots of money so that doesn't matter.
- rdouble 13y agoyou make 130k, you have a whole team working under you, and you are 21 years old, and you have trouble getting laid. That is the description of the entire SF tech industry.
- TheZenPsycho 13y agoexcept for the people who work under him and make less money. Those don't count as real people though.
- rdouble 13y agoI didn't read him mention people working under him.
- TheZenPsycho 13y agoALSO, stop worrying so much about code and have more sex.
- TheZenPsycho 13y agoOP on his deathbed: OH NO, THIS IS TERRIBLE, WHY DIDN'T I SPEND MORE TIME CODING AND HELPING MY BOSS GET RICHER?
