I think the key is to find your way and your niche.

Life can suck without some way to get paid for what you do.

Clearly you have strength in your interest - exploit your strengths.

If you build skill in electronics to the point where you can demonstrate hire-able talent and achievements, that could be a path forward. Finding specialist training e.g. a vocational school&course aligned with your interest might be another path forward.

Sometimes, getting ahead just means doing the things we'd prefer not to do, because they are necessary - perhaps work on your capacity and executive skills to that end.

If capacity is a concern, try this. If Executive skills are the main concern, try one of the Smart but Scattered books.

Thanks for writing back!

I recently saw a new book come out that seems to go into quite a bit of detail on this subject. Here's the link:

https://www.amazon.com/Peak-Performance-Elevate-Burnout-Science/dp/162336793X/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8

It's getting rave reviews for both the physical and psychological depth of discussion. I'm pretty excited to read it. Anyway, just thought it might be something you would be interested in. Cya!

I have the same feelings here about making changes for the better in my life. I don't know how this advice will go down with you, but maybe look for some role models to follow. I found it really hard to be positive, productive, and progressing all the time even though i wanted to. So i started to read up a book about performance (https://www.amazon.com/Peak-Performance-Elevate-Burnout-Science/dp/162336793X) - what do those crazy athletes and high performers do, what do they think and how do they view problems. It has opened my eyes to how i could view my problems in a very different way. Your mileage may vary, I found it helped my motivation.

One thing I read there was how i should set a goal with failure inside it. Being in my comfort zone is easy, but the author absolutely makes a solid point that if i don't pursue something meaningful or worthwhile...even if it's got some huge failure rate....I won't actually feel motivated. So maybe you could start there and think about that.

I'd say about professional help..if you can get any help, go for it. You should get any edge you can, there is no shame. Be selfish first and get yourself right (or somewhere better), its the building block to everything else. Really, no one can look after your interests better than yourself. You have to see yourself as someone you love and want to help, like if you were to give a hand to a friend. In a sense, don't think and just do. Schedule the appointment, try it out. Detaching yourself from the action and taking a 3rd person perspective can help you make more objective decisions sometimes.

I'm thinking of picking up Peak Performance by Brad Stulberg and Steve Magness and Simple Marathon Training by Jay Johnson.
Has anyone here read them? Are they worth it?
Thanks!
