Whenever I (32m) have free time, I often end up wasting it. By which I mean, I rarely choose the most productive option. I have a few interests: playing piano and guitar, learning languages (ranging from beginner to working proficiency), as well as exercise (now mainly moderate weight training due to injury). I should spend more time practising my music to get back to where I was when I was at uni; I should spend more time explicitly practising languages by reading , watching, listening or studying vocabulary. I enjoy these things when I do them and I feel good afterwards because I’ve done something useful. I should also probably tidy up the house a bit. Recently, I’ve been alone for nearly three weeks while my wife and child have gone away (I couldn’t go due to work) and I didn’t take that extra free time at home to do what I always complain about not having the time to do. Instead, it’s been video games and YouTube and daydreaming. How do I motivate myself to do what I know I actually enjoy? submitted by /u/kusotare-san
