alright so im all for executing ideas and making mistakes to learn, but there are some things I do which I legit just dont feel like I ever learn. well actually i do learn but i dont make sure that i dont make the same mistakes again.

i have a tendency to be really lazy and skip out on the tedious tasks. this past month i had a chance to really make some great (and i mean really great) commission that would solve some of my problems on the financial side. i would have had extra money right now to execute an idea without having to worry too much about the downside risks. i was really ambitious and excited for the opportunity, but time after time i show that im not responsible ALL the way. i do not have the discipline to do paperwork stuff on time such as taxes, paying bills etc. even if i do sit down and force myself to do these tasks, just out of nowhere i start feeling sleepy. like wtf.

i am not trying to make excuses or anything, but at this point im about to turn 24 and im literally tired of this. i want to move out of this apartment and into that condo downtown. im so frustrated, and this is not the first time where i am frustrated. i had the chance to mention my problem to an executive in the city and he was low on time but he mentioned the MBTI test to see my weaknesses and strengths. i took the test, and although im not sure how accurate the assessments are supposed to be, the description that came out for my type was eerily spot on. so apparently im naturally supposed to be like this? either way, at this point, i just really need advice from someone that also had the issue of having lazy tendencies for tedious tasks. my problems accumulate to the point to where i waste a lot of time trying to catch up often times.
