Today I have stumbled into the answers to two questions I’ve had swirling around my mind the past week or two.
I spend hours listening to music and watching videos (usually on YouTube.) Why is this bothering me?
I’m a deliberate person. Should I be more impulsive?
I don’t know if you’ll see how this posts answers those questions. All I’ll say is that the conclusion I ended up with today does indeed answer those two questions.
Enjoy.
I have a friend who I admire because I view her to be "plugged in” to her life.
Here are some adjectives I’d use to describe her:
Focused
Hard-working
Productive
In a state of flow most of the day
Clear-headed
Decisive
My friend is completely different and yet…somewhat similar to Eminem, the rapper.
I’m sitting in a chair listening to some of his music. Eminem thinks about words for hours everyday. He has done that many, many years. My friend is not a rapper, but she also has that same single-minded focus.
Obsession might not be the right word, but it’s the word that comes to mind now.
It turns out I admire people with this character trait.
Perhaps a part of me wants to work single-mindedly on one thing for 9-10 hours a day, feel in the zone, and be “good-tired” by the end of every single day. In my “non-plugged in hours” I would like to spend time with/on:
Friends/family
Dating
Watching TV and movies
Exercising
Learning languages
Other hobbies, perhaps down the line (e.g., swimming, maybe martial arts, whatever else catches my attention)
This feels right. I think that’s what I want.
Talk to you next time,

Thank you for reading this. Here are some topics I plan to cover in future posts.
Continued updates on my business
Same goes for how I’m helping Gujarati learners
What hobbies will I pursue in my free time? Probably becoming fit will be the first one, but we’ll see
Dating - am I going on 1 date a week? Is that the plan here?
Just how weird am I? If I truly am a pretty unusual person, can I use this to my advantage?
