Although, I wonder if I really fucked my brain/habits up so much that I'll never reach my full capacity.
There's no such thing as your "full capacity". What you're doing right now, that is your full capacity. Either accept that you're at your limit or actually do something to prove you're not.
- panic 13y agoIt also helps me to look at this image: http://i.imgur.com/39U4k.png http://i.imgur.com/39U4k.png. Each box is one month of your life. There really aren't that many of them.
- kennywinker 13y agoWell now I'm depressed AND procrastinating.
- MoreConsiderate 13y agoDon't submit to his dominance. There is dominance and nothing else.
- kennywinker 13y ago?? what.
- MoreConsiderate 13y agoWhat about the point would you like me to explain?
- a3voices 13y agoWhat do you mean by "dominance"?
- MoreConsiderate 13y agoFrame control; e.g., using and abusing language to empower oneself (or one's group or communities) and disempower outsiders in the pretext of giving advice.
- richforrester 13y agoI'm 30, and just put a layer on top of that marking the boxes that are behind me. Like the OP, I consider myself a chronic under-performer. And you're right. This kind of hits home. What did I fill those boxes with? What do I want to fill the remaining ones with?
- fusiongyro 13y agoWell, gosh, your life is meaningless drivel unless you fill those boxes with stuff! Produce! Nevermind what your wife and kids think of you, nevermind the laughter of your friends, the beauty you saw, the wonders you imagined. All those times you helped out a bum, cooked dinner, played with your niece: meaningless, if it got in the way of putting an achievement into a month-box! Produce! Produce! What are you going to have to etch on your tombstone if you don't have a dozen github URLs?
- caw 13y agoI think that's the point. It doesn't matter what you fill them with--fun, work, standing on your head--just that you feel accomplished by having done what you've done. If you don't, then maybe it's time for some change.

- ks 13y agoInteresting image. I just made a quick tool for generating it here: http://lifeboxes.neocities.org/ http://lifeboxes.neocities.org/

- JHof 13y agoI've been learning to code lately and worked up something like this not too long ago - http://mementomori.neocities.org/ http://mementomori.neocities.org/. Kind of buggy and unfinished, but it works. Mine uses weeks rather than months.
- ayers 13y agoFor the lazy and curious, there are 80 boxes. 24 by 40.
