An introduction and question
I spent time thinking about, in essense, what I could dedicate my life to in learning and also have a career from. I decided I will take the route of electrical engineering. I don't have background in it but it is what I feel like I want to do. It is a new dream. One I just didn't know about or that was a possibility. It will definitely keep me busy this year as I dedicate time to really learn Mathematics, Physics, I.T. and Electronics. This is basically me aiming at the biggest thing I could imagine enjoying. I suppose I want to follow the quote: "When it feels scary to jump, that is exactly when you jump, otherwise you end up staying in the same place your whole life, and that I can't do". It resonates with me because I feel a bit stuck sometimes and life isn't so easy when it comes to finding your thing to be successful at. Apparently that quote is from a movie I haven't even seen called "A most violent year"... I should probably watch that movie before I base my life off something but to be honest I feel this year is probably going to be "A most violent year". I will have to learn more in a year than ever before. So it is a bit scary but motivating too. I really liked the videos by Learn Quick. I watched two before joining: "Stop thinking" and "DON'T RUSH, you're learning". They really resonated with me. I have also suffered a lot with analysis paralysis in a way. Or atleast paralysis in feeling I couldn't get myself to always do somethings even if I wanted to. I feel I am getting over it. I'm really motivated to change my habits and routine and to be a better life long learner. I recognise that it is amazing to connect with other like-minded individuals along the way too, so I hope I can. I feel I will need it as I go through this new journey. I hope this channel and group will grow because I like the messages shared! Thanks! Reach out to me if you want to connect and give each other support/encoragement. It could be cool. I look forward to getting to know you all! Thank you for reading.

@Yip Tse Thank you for taking time to respond. I feel like we have quite a bit in common so you are able to give helpful and relevant advice. I can have a bad habit of wanting to take on more than I can manage in the long term, to which the motivation, excitement and discipline is not easily maintained. I often wish I could stop time so I could take my time to learn and accomplish more without the pressure in the moment. I will try to accept the matter of fact though. I do like your suggestions. I know that would work. Things usually go well if I have a realistic structure and goals to follow. I just sometimes don't plan so great or atleast fall out of habit perhaps expecting too much of myself. I can relate to following your gut too. It can be difficult to decide what is best in each moment sometimes. I suppose if I created a plan where I knew it would work out if I followed it then I can probably convince myself to stick to it and tell myself that is the best thing to focus on. I think I will have to divide priorities by different parts of the day. Where I focus on physics, maths and I.T in daylight hours and the hours in evening for other things if there's time. It does suck we can't accomplish everything we want to and have to be selective about what we do. I hope I will be able to use my time in active forms of learning too so I avoid wasting much time. I feel I used to try to learn more passively. But before I was studying social sciences to be honest: psychology, sociology and business. So I could get away with listening to content on my subjects. Now I will need to be a lot more engaged and attempt to practice what I learn as much as I can. I'll go check out that video you mentioned anyway. Thanks again.
