So very confused

[Darkgamer]

I have a problem everyday with my life...I am a perfectionist and a procrastinator. I always put things off but when I really set my mind to something I just end up losing interest way to quickly. I want to grow and possibly do things like learning new languages/strive to work out more but I just can't seem to stick with anything I also put extreme energy into activities for a short amount of time then after a while I just wave them off...

 

I have managed to stick with music (play the oboe) but not much else >.

Any advice to motivate myself to stick with things would be welcome I guess...

You could talk to your doctor, maybe it is ADD. Most people think of being hyper but that is ADHD. I have ADD and I had all those same symptoms. I was on adult ADD medication for it for a while and it really helped.

I have a similar problem. I always put things off, but then when I finally do get started, I don't quit until it's perfect. I'll be interested to hear replies on this as well.

 

As far as starting something and sticking to it, how long do you usually stick with something before you lose interest? A week? A month?

It really depends on what it is...if I deside to exercise more I'll stick with it for like 3 days, but if I wanna have piano lessons, it may range from 4days-2weeks.
