How to be productive with LIFE? (3hrs poker, other 13hrs wasted) :(

[AA suited]

i'm surviving off poker right now. (jan= 1yr mark)

i see this great opportunity in front of me with all this free time, yet i'm wasting it.

i play ~20hrs/week so that's about 3hrs/day. i'm wasting the other 13hrs with surfing the web, tv, or day dreaming. (i cant get myself to play more than ~3hrs/day.)

there are a few hrs here and there where i hang out with friends or do something productive. I've also traveled some... Vegas, San Fran, NY.

but a vast majority of the time i feel like i'm wasting it.

Why am i not seizing the moment? Why am i not taking advantage of this opportunity?

And how to break out of it?

THX!

I don't know, you sound crazy.

Go shopping. Fix something. Decorate something. Start some sort of collection.

Start running, fishing, join a club, do charity.

You are crazy for being so lazy.

I'm just like you. Except I never consider time spent doing what I want to do as being "wasted."

I get one month in four off work, on my month off i play poker to pay the bills. When i'm working i savour every minute of free time- even just reading and watching TV or lazing about. I'm now on a poker playing month and am actually wanting the days to go by just because i said i'd meet someone for a pint on monday. This is why i don't give up work.

I've also thought about traveling and playing poker from cafes. How much do you think I need to be pulling down to make this happen? BTW Ive never travelled out of the country but I want to.

too bad you had to start and end your post in such a poor manner.
this is good advice and I think I will take you up on it.
