how to focus and do something
-
2016-03-19 at 7:09 AM UTCi've been trying to draw this sprite for a game (i draw, scan, and basically use the drawing as a base for the actual artwork, because digital editing is great for coloring, shading, that shit, but is a terrible interface for drawing.) so i can't draw the thing at all; i've been trying to do a sprite for three days and it's not working. i can't just get shit together and fucking make it.
how do you do this kind of thing? i don't finish anything because this happens; i have a really terrible problem with boredom, too, and it might be severe adhd or something, because it really fucking makes life shit this way.
also, since it's going to be the basis of this sprite, how does the smith & wesson model 12 revolver's rear sight work, and where actually is it? on the pics i see, it's totally flat above the cylinder, and there are some similar revolvers with obvious rear sights, but they all end up being newer guns when i check what they are. (i'm not trying to carbon copy the thing, but this shit fucking eats me) -

Intricate tasks with all kinds of tiny details become 10+ hour obsessions with a good hit of speed. Most people just smoke, fuck or talk when they do crank but I like to read, teach myself stuff and work on projects.
It's like that episode of American Dad where Stan gets the pills that make him never have to sleep so he can have more "Stan time" and he spends all his time doing various activities to better himself while everyone else gets mad at him[FONT=Helvetica Neue][SIZE=16px]This is the song that I wrote at three AM[/SIZE][/FONT]

That's how I feel when I'm sober doing drug research, its hard to stay focused and motivated. Adderal would definitely help, if you told the right doctor this stuff he'd probably write you a script.

I've been fueling my endeavors with beer lately, it works for me and helps with creativity and motivation but for some people it just makes them lazy. This is also why I use cannabis but when I'm stoned I just want to play video games.
Coffee might also help you.
I think the way our minds are programmed is to seek out surrogate active to feel fulfilled, pursuits of wealth, knowledge, science, love, religion, politics, hobbies. Our brains do this to "keep busy" because survival has been dumbed down and we no longer require the skills of surviving in nature. This is what causes boredom, depression, anxiety, drug abuse, unhappiness. Ted Kaczynski wrote about this stuff.
If you aren't in survival mode the mind starts to wander and feels unfulfilled.

This is what I feel like: part of the depression crew, slowly becoming a barely animate part of the ship. -

Yeah it is beyond willpower, it is your dumb faggotry physically impeding you from doing things.
