I'm toatlly lost about life. I don't know how to handle it. I want to learn, but I will change learning subject, sometimes computer skills, sometimes English, Japanese, accounting. I've lost contact with old friends. I want to go to bed earlier and be healthier, but if i do this way, I don't have enough time to learn and entertain. Please share your experience and help me.

Hi lynettebyc, It seems like you just need to find a good schedule for all this learning and entertaining that you want to do. If your going to take classes at a college then you'll have to work around them and of course work, but maybe you can learn one thing on one day, and entertain the next etc.

I know that "less is more", but I'm just too greedy to learn one thing at a time. I guess that's because I learned too little when I was a kid, and when grow up, I found out there's lots of things to learn.

Hi Lynettebyc, I can understand your eagerness but it may be better to go one at a time so you don't overwhelm yourself you know.

SomeCowgirl is right, lynette. Sometimes, the better choice is doing one step at a time. It may take time but you're more certain of a much successful result. Rather take everything in one stride, and find yourself completely overwhelmed and frustrated. I tried the same path, and it backfired on me. Rather accomplish what I have set out to do, I ended up not completing anything at all. Not only have I found myself with incomplete goals, but I also found myself frustrated and disappointed with myself.

Perhaps you need to have a good break so that you will have energy and enthusiasm to do what you want. My life can be busy because I have work and I also have a child to take care of. I don't have much time for my own interests. But this is life. I have to squeeze my time to do what I want. Such as I have to go to bed later. I love China

there are so much things to do in this lkifetime but it is a matter of choice which ones are to be taken. if you do, fervently believe that you have it, don't will it. HAVE IT happening in your mind. My dear, it is al about time management, do one thing at a time, you have the whole lifetime to do it. write it down on a piece of paer to prioritize which ones you should od first and focus on it but not too much that you might sacrifice the other vital things you need to do like sleep. You cannot sleep early because you are thinking too much and less of doing, If you are already doing one of the things you want to do in your life then you would noticed that you have achieved something for the day and "rest" will will follow. You have the time to do these things but you want to do it all at the same time, IMPOSSIBLE. One task at a time, until it becomes natural then you can find time to do other things. learning takes time and patience but once you do the amount of time you will be spending for each task will be minimal. DO IT. don't procrastinate.

Take one step at a time ^_^ There will always be time for everything.. If one is really keen and interested in such things, they can always afford to wait.. U can be taking up accounting, followed by other languages, and so for.. If u feel that after one year or so, u dun like japanese anymore, u will be able to save up some money, instead of letting it go to waste right?? hehe ^_^ Time is equal for everybody, and alot depends on your priority in life, and the urgency for whatever u wanna learn or use ^_^

hi lynettebyc I do not know how old you are,but years back when I went to college the first thing I learned was to schedule my time. And to make some decisions as to what I wised to study. You cannot put all the things you state you want to do in one d ay,so budget your time. have time for study,time for rest, time for play, and some down time to get needed sleep. Also in most colleges there are nurses, therapists, student counselors that you can go to for ideas in how to get all the things you want to do done. I was assigned a mentorin my last two years at the U of cal irvine, and he was very helpful to me. look for help; as its always out there in most any college or U. But do this ,do not give yourself so much play time you will be flunking out, be realistic in your education goals.
