Hey all,
I don´t know how where to start, so I will just start with my position I am in right now.
- 20 years old
- studying Information Systems
- working a shitty side job to make 450 euro
- currently building a little sidehustle
I feel like beeing pulled in different directions all the time. These are:
entrepreneurship -> I know for sure I don´t want to be trapped in a 9-5 job after my graduation
university -> my plan b, I need a final grade of 2.9 or better to be able to continue with a master, definitly want to have this option open
friends/living my best life -> regretting that I didn´t live my best life later?
I am confused as some in the forum say that you can manage all at once: have a nice social life and meanwhile work on your business and study. Then I reread Unscripted & TMFL and MJ clearly says that you should focus on one thing and cut of everything else. Also I am inspired by Alex Becker(dopamine detox, cut off distractions, quit caffeine, no fap..)The problem is when I have the flow and things start to work and I go out with my friends once drinking, every drive & focus is gone. I need minimum 3-4 days to go back to the focus I had before.
Obviously I am struggling to commit to one thing and just focus on that. But having constantly the fear of missing out "your best years" and instead try to focus and make sacrifices isn´t easy.
Anyone finding themselfes in the same position? Anyone seeing something I miss?
