Hello, I'm here to hear your stories about this common(as i suppose) problem.
I find it really hard to focus on things that matter and get sidetracked at all times. I'm the guy from MJ's books that hops on a new idea every week. Unfortunately. I have been trying to address this issue for a long time and can't get through it.
Right now my focus is creating a business. I have a clear plan for everything, it is really straightforward. It is in a niche that i am very familiar with, I know exactly how my competitors operate, I know how to do the marketing (at least I think I can) yet I can't get past the website building phase. I have a lot other ideas or plans that I am actively avoiding since the beginning of this year just to do this one business that I have planned first - so I have some experience and more stability let's say to pursue other things. I know it sounds strange but with this business model I can safely maintain it for a few hours a day and do other stuff as i want.
I have a lot of time yet I am unable to finish this simple project. For past weeks I've been jumping from one store platform to another and now I finally have a platform chosen. And thats it. Every day I'm trying to build my store and I just can't focus and do it. I am jumping from one wordpress/woocom tutorial to another(if you learned to do that-please recommend where) My body is refusing to do the work and every time after I do 'research' and it's time to do something myself I just do everything to avoid it. I hate this feeling and it may be strange to you but I'm 20, living with my parents and I have never done any hard work/school - at school I was good enough to do nothing and pass and when I was 16 I went to 'adult school' - I went to school every second weekend and did nothing in between - no work no learning. Just sitting at home.
Right now every day feels the same - I'm 'making the website' all day yet most of the time I'm wandering around my house or just losing myself, and its not like im addicted to social media or something, I just don't know when time passes. most of the time I just feel like I hate myself and i dont know.
I am desperate for help so If any of you guys had similar problems and got through it please answer.
