Addiction/procrastination

[The Monk]

Hi guys, I have started to go back to university recently and wish to produce outstanding results, hard work ethic, etc. But I always seem to fall off track or backslide, and yes I have seen Leo's videos on addiction and procrastination and how to stop backsliding, and have begun reading a numerous amount of his 140 self help books, and yes to some extent they have helped. But, what I'm struggling with most is making flashcards and revision notes, as I have no interest in them and just wish to spend hours on them to create amazing results I just do it for about 1 hour-30 minutes then procrastinate, and get lazy, due to the fact that I believe making flashcards and notes is boring, but do however tell myself that this will lead me to my initial life purpose and goal to impact the world through business, and inspire others through my hard work ethic. But, I just simply can't stay on track I always wish that I could have a hard work ethic similar to that of people that lived almost 100 years ago, e.g. Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla, or everyday Prime Minster; And to do this I have also tried hard determination sitting, but I fell off track and am struggling to get back on, to truly accept the void and be happy with the present moment.

 

Any suggestions about how I can develop a hard work ethic to create amazing results, to stop backsliding, and to eliminate addiction to internet, and gaming, alongside procrastination? To truly be happy with the present moment rather than games, to enjoy life no matter the circumstances or consequences.

@Aamir King You have to get clear on you life purpose. If you know what you are doing it all for, then also the boring necessary stuff will become meaningful to you and less dreadful. And as soon as you know your life purpose, you will drop the things that are preventing you from getting there, like gaming, TV, gossiping, etc.

Here is a kick in your but. Use it as many times as necessary:

@Eelco1981 But another issue of concern is whether I'm taking far too many or too few breaks, and whether that is leaving me unproductive. E.g. Leo usually would take 2 days off when at school, a week.  I usually take one, but my main issue is going back into a strong work ethic once I inevitably return from the break, as I begin feeling lazy, or perhaps I'm not having enough time off?

@Aamir King I don't know. If you feel lazy then you might not have found your life purpose. I found mine (partially) and I really do not have time for TV anymore (that's why I sold the tv and cancelled the cable subscription), left some whatsapp groups. My time off consists of going to the gym, yoga, meditate, walk in nature.

@Eelco1981 Thanks I'll take a look into that. Did you use Leo's life purpose course?

 

[Eelco1981]

@Aamir King Yes, I am at 95% of the life purpose course. I started in June 2015... I love the process. I take my time. Read all the books.. put everything into practice.

@Eelco1981 Does it work for everyone, and what if you can't attain due to educational, economic, or social reasons?

[Eelco1981]

@Eelco1981 The course works for everyone. In fact there is a whole section that explains that your life purpose is possible. If it is not possible, then it is not your life purpose (you will not become a professional basketball player if your height is 1 meter 50 cm or if you are over 70 years old). Education, money or social status never are an obstacle you can't take. You can move to another country, work your ass off, study your ass off.
