Oh! And yes taskifying (if/once I get there) will be very difficult for me.

The suggestion was definitely not useless. Again, I’m not speaking out of rationalized information I’ve gathered from material sources. I’m speaking out of what my mind has processed through experiencing life. My current views might be somewhat depressing. Everybody has a different life no matter how much you want to macro them into generalized functions. What I mean by all of that? [I have a tendency of not necessarily saying precisely what I mean]. I mean that I can’t be honest with ‘all’ parts of what I want because I don’t know them. Is there potential for damage to my ‘real’ ambitions? Maybe they are no longer normal or good.
I completely understand what you mean about what to do once those first steps are established. I don’t think that it would have necessarily been my course of action once getting that far. So thanks for the advice!
Again, thank you for posting so quickly. I had time to read it much earlier, but this is my first real chance [League prevailed] to reply. <-- embarrassing, but true.
Hi...I’m Will—I learned about less wrong through a very intelligent childhood friend. I am quite nearly his opposite—so maybe I shouldn’t say anything...ever...and just stick to reading and learning. But It recommended leaving an introduction post. I also like this as a method of learning. I skimmed a few of the articles in the about page and enjoyed them...they provided a good deal of information that I believe I am much better at processing and understanding as opposed to creating. Therefore, I’m excited to see what I get out of this. I’m also curious to attend a Less Wrong meeting. I haven’t looked for one yet, but I will be.
Part of the problem I have is that I prefer doing things that provide tiny levels of fun with little to no levels of self-growth. For example, I would prefer playing a game of League of Legends over reading...anything. This is an annoying habit for obvious reasons. So I guess if there were suggestions of where I should start that might help me subconsciously (and eventually consciously) in favor of more meaningful activities. Not to abolish random bouts of pointless fun, but rather to refine my efficiency with time devoted to ALL of my daily activities.
