I know I am late in this convo, but have you developed an actual schedule - from the minute you wake up till you go to bed? When I did that, I found how much unscheduled time I had that I was just meandering about. I shifted and slotted in my priorities and made my time accountable.
No i havent. Not a bad idea.

In regards to reading and Podcasts, i try not to inundate myself with MR/DB stuff all day, if im thinking of DB/MR then i am thinking of WIFE. So this is why i try to spend time writing (fiction), playing D&D/Games, stuff that puts my mind not only off of WIFE but completely out of my life, in fantasy realm, or doing things like climbing/working out. Its like if I spend 100% of my free time working on detachment and focusing on my sitch, itll just prolong it. Just the 5 step cycle running its wheel. Round and Round. Today seems to be a place of Anger, though not the unquenchable rage ive experienced in the past. Right now i have a strong feeling id like to just yell at her. Shes such a damn child. Its really infuriating. Like i keep thinking ill be done with being angry at her, then it just comes back again and again.

I don't wait for motivation, I just follow through because I've already decided it's something I want to do and why I want to do it.
Someday's I am very easily "Motivated", other days I am FRESH out of Give a S**t, days like today I just want to tell her how awful she is, and that i dont know how the F she sleeps at night. WIsh i knew where this anger was stemming from, no event caused this, we havent spoken in over a week.
