Dave Goodman’s Purpose Piece

I find myself a bit lost in recent times, I go to work, come home, find more interesting ways to waste vital minutes of my life without picking the mushrooms from my feet.

Motivation is a waning commodity in these times where the long hours of work practically drain you of energy and you find that the best you could hope for when you get home is to eat more cheesy snacks and catch up with who is sleeping with the cat on your favourite soap opera.

Some of the time I do spend writing on this blog, along with a few other places, some of the time is spent reading “The Rules of Wealth” and crying afterwards, but then the bulk of the time, is lying on my back, counting the cobwebs on the ceiling.

Not very exciting is it?

But I wandered across to Dave Goodman’s website, a place where a man in London also is struggling to do things and he wrote a piece about trying to achieve something, due to the result of the modern world giving us more free time and the constant pressure that we should be achieving something in our free time.

He basically went onto to say that no matter what it was, you want to do more and yet, it’s just all the moving around that’s involved, it’s very difficult to muster the ounce of effort go and finally learn something new. This was previously known as “The Curse of Leisure”, a disease doctors wrote several medical papers on after I turned up at the local GP’s looking for a sick note to allow me to stay in bed an extra 5 minutes.

He did end on the note basically saying do what you want if you want to get something from it, not do it for some mythical person’s sake.

So I did.

It actually spurred me on, to try and achieve something which would be of potential benefit in writing ransom demands or food orders at Burger World when my current job goes wrong after saying too much. Why not, there are a great range of pseudo-educational institutions in London, all eager to take your money in return for a pamphlet titled “How to start your own Pyramid scheme”

To that end, I start a course at a big persons’ school towards the end of September, just to trying and generate some ideas and basically to brush up the lack of writing skill which gets portrayed here on this human war crime of a blog.

I’m also trying to muster enough energy to carry on writing more proactively once again, but how do you fight fatigue after 9 hours of wandering around outside, working on anything and everything? If someone out there on t’internet knows a good way as to how this is done (possibly in a legal manner) then please get in touch.

We promise to not pay attention to anything you say.
