I've come back repeatedly to see this video, so thanks for posting. The ideas in it make a lot of sense to me and it is great to set a minimum effort line. This is a lot better than doing nothing.
Im 56 and i have the program for 2 years now ,completed very little, i do have adhd that may have something to do with the procrastination but i do fine it very hard to come up with information to add. Any suggestion for someone struggling with this would be greatly appreciated.
Future authoring didn't really help me because wvery plausible future for me still wasn't good enough to want to live or strive for. I've rafically worked towards the best possible future I could realistically envisage for four years, and I've made some slight progress, but not enough to make my life worth living. I estimate I have about two years of effort left me in try and see if it's possible to have a good life, but I'm not hopeful of success. Future authoring only works if you have genuine hopr and potential, and some people are just too far gone to have those.
@Whayil I've had as much therapy and counselling as I can afford privately, and am on NHS waiting lists (for years) for more. I don't think I'm depressed. I just think I've ended up in a particularly difficult life situation where there's no realistic way out. I'm not sure there's a good future for me.
@@someonesomeone25 I do not even know you, but I know there is the possibility of a great future ahead of you. I know that because I know that is true for literally everyone, even the most despicable and disgusting creatures among us. I was in very dark situations myself and to be quite frank was a very dark human, but I am very grateful for the position I am in today. I am not saying this to say stop being cynical, because obviously me saying that would do nothing. I am saying this to say even with being cynical about your future potential, at least give yourself the attempt of forming and executing on a full effort plan for the future. You owe yourself that. Redo the self-authoring program again and put as much effort as you can possibly put into planning for your future and execute. Wishing you the best in all aspects of life!
I am very interested in listening in what kind of situation you are in. Maybe you are right. Who knows. But quiet often we don't see whats right in front of us when we are in a fight or flight situation. When it's over often the once dismal situation appears laughable to our once future and now present self. Open for a video chat.
@@jackomokallen2971 I don't do video chat. My situation is that what is the best plausible life for me is a low paid, low stress admin job, a small apartment, a girlfriend for a while, a few friends, and some spare time for basic pastimes, before getting old and sick and then death. That is what I've been working on for some years, and is much better than where I've come from, and is nearly in reach. I expect I'll have that within a year. But it's not satisfying. And doesn't provide me with much meaning or joy or motivation. It's not good enough. And not what my heart really desires.

Ok. This makes things easier.

@@uaumuaup5193 The trouble is what I truly desire isn't plausible.
