    So, how do people escape the NEET lifestyle? Although I can't exactly call myself a NEET since I still go to school, I'm basically half-step there since I don't leave my house except going and back from school. But, you know, sometimes I read online about people exercising and shit, and I feel really motivated. I get out of my house, exercise for like, half a month.
    However, I just like stop sometime later. I just want to know if there is any successful cases of people escaping Sloth and how.

    When you have no money to support your NEET life, then you will find a way. Now you got a job, so you are leaving the house, but now you don't have enough time to read books or play games if you are walking there. If you take the bus, you have to be near people. I guess you should get your own vehicle so it only takes like a tenth of the time to get to where you need to go.

    You start doing things to save time, such as doing laundry periodically so you don't stink at work and get reprimanded. Fixing food for the entire week at one time so you can just heat it up in the microwave and go. And then...you finally get paid.

    Time to finally afford some goodies! Ah...but you only have $50 left in your account after paying for gas/bus/groceries/clothes/grooming/etc...

    And that much I have left thanks to living with my mom and brother still. If not, then I would be flat ass broke every single fucking week.

    Cough, I eat instant noodles or frozen food for cheap and convenient stuff:blob_grin:. And I only read books. I ride a bike, and when I had a job I took night shift during the holidays, so...

    PS: I also do my laundry in one go, but since my area's very hot I just dry it in my room near the window.

    How to stop sloth? It's easy, they don't even bother getting up.



    Anyway, the best way to stop procrastinating is to have either one of the three: motivation, goal or burden.

    With motivation, you're more likely to do your best. WIth a goal, it's more likely you will work your best. With a burden, it's more likely you will do your hardest for the people that matters to you. That's why, married men with children usually can make ends meet for his family eventhough he was barely making ends meet when he was a bachelor.

    Well you are right. I am still single and I can afford to spend all my moneys without thinking for some1 else, but with my salary its no problem to pay for a whole family, well the mystery is how all my salary goes into nothingness for me only, when I am sure I can support a family with it.

    it's really just about finding something to be motivated by. i never found it very helpful to keep telling myself things like "i gotta get up/out and do something. anything would be fine. i must be a horrible person, just sitting around all day accomplishing nothing." looking into hobby-based activities in your area is a good start. if you're withdrawing from the world, there's usually a reason or excuse that comes up often enough to drive you down (things like i don't like people, don't have money, don't know enough to get started). if you can recognize what's holding you back and look for things you can enjoy without those interferences or how to overcome such things, you'll be more likely to actually do 'em. it's important to have an immediate goal you can enjoy along the way that conveniently accomplishes other things you may want to get done.

    if you just want a little exercise, like goin for a run or something, but just goin around the block is too boring or maybe your stamina can't actually handle running, then maybe find a starbucks, hobby shop, or pick up something like pokemon go, find the pokestops in your area, and come up with a route you could just walk to. you don't have to run the whole time, just the act of getting out and moving is helpful, but it's the place you're going to or the reason you're going there that gives you something to focus on or look forward to and make things feel less like a bother. hanging out with a friend while you do whatever is also a really great way to help make things easier to do. just going over to eachother's houses or something isn't really gonna fix things, but if you just go to the gym, for a walk, or maybe have something to accomplish along the way (like taking down a pokemon gym along your route), it can be a great boost to one's motivation. basically, you try to find ways to give you a goal and make it harder for you cheat or add a little pressure/guilt the help you follow through.

    it's also important to recognize if you're a contrary person, so you can try to address it early on. some people do fine with a little reminder or nudge, but if you've fallen into a slump, then even if you may have been seriously considering actually being productive, having someone say something like "hey, why don't you go do ________." or "weren't you going to _______" is more of a hindrance than a help. if you get upset at their meddling and no longer feel like doing anything, or maybe you made up an excuse/lie and now you feel guilty but don't want them to know, such things are counterproductive, and so long as you are actually capable and willing to follow through on your plans, then it's important to make it clear to any would-be meddlers that all that looking over the shoulder or judging that they're doing is hurting your mood more than it's helping and they should mind their own business. even compliments may hinder your motivation, because it may feel like their praise takes away from what you're actually working towards, why you're going something, or maybe they try to support you, but it only comes across as annoying meddling.

    whatever the reasons may be, they don't have to make sense. it's just important to recognize if something if interfering and address it before it becomes to great a hindrance to whatever drive you may have.
