Title: There's a way for me to make some money, but it requires that I setup a fairly complicated spreadsheet to monitor several variables. All through last week, I've been printing Excel tutorials and ebooks, telling myself that I'll do the spreadsheet over the weekend, so I can start earning immediately. I want to put the money towards a startup.<p>How did I spend my weekend?<p>Friday Night:<p>Listening to rap and channel surfing. I've got all weekend, right?<p>Saturday:<p>Spend half the day browsing, the other half watching about 4 movies. Still got all day Sunday, right?<p>Sunday:<p>Wake up @ 10. Watch a few World Cup matches, while surfing YouTube. I can do it later right?<p>Now I just got to work, and I'm <i>disgusted</i> with myself. I want to leave this job as soon as possible (one's soul can only be sucked so much), but my constant procrastination isn't helping things.<p>The worst part? This isn't the first time something like this has happened. I'll spend the weekday fantasizing about how productive I'm gonna be over the weekend, then spend the weekend watching movies. Then on Sunday night, while ironing my clothes for Monday, the self-flagellation begins.<p>Oddly, while I'm wasting time, I <i>know</i> that I'm wasting time. I'll spend 5 minutes doing the task, and as soon as I encounter any difficulty, I take a break to 'clear my head'. This ends up taking the rest of the day. This has happened several times.<p>I want to be rich. Filthy rich, even. I'm sick of working for others. I'm sick of getting up in the morning knowing my life is ticking away. But I know I'll never get there if I continue like this.<p>I'm 23, above-average intelligence (Dunning-Kruger FTW), and I don't want to waste my life, waking up @ 30 wondering where the years have gone.<p>I've been on HN long enough to know this is something quite a few of us struggle with.<p>Help. Please.
