Not to toot my own horn, but I struggled with this myself and ended up 'inventing' my own psuedo life-philosophy 'Experientialism'[1]. You might find this an interesting way of going about the problem.

- RankingMember 8y agoInteresting write-up. To me, the applied philosophy sounds similar to my experience with ADHD, seeking out novel experiences to maximize engagement.
- rubicon33 8y agoEnjoyed that writeup. Definitely got me thinking about the general notion of a life philosophy, and the utility in adopting one. I am guilty of literally rolling some dice for major life decisions, since, most of life to me appears random anyway. That said, Experientialism would have been great to adopt when I was 20. Maybe I would be filming a travel channel on YouTube or something. Nowadays, I need to adopt a life philosophy that helps me to regular, focussed, great work. Not sure yet what that is...
