Anyone else struggling with not being able to stick to things long enough to fully enjoy them?
Anyone else struggling with not being able to stick to things long enough to fully enjoy them?
This is something that's been frustrating me to no end recently as I've had a ton of time over the holidays to do whatever I want. I have a dozen half beaten games and half watched tv shows that I really should just finish but idk why I just can't stick to one thing until it's done and then move on to the next like a normal person.

that I really should finish
That word "should" is a tricky little fella, he implies a judgement, the question is what's the source of that judgement?
Wayne Dyer discusses the issues and challenges of words like "should" in his book "Your Erroneous Zones" by using a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy approach: examining and rewriting how we think about things.
When I find myself using that particular word, I ask myself "should, according to who?". Almost always I find I have an old "script" in my head about priorities, values, etc, that upon re-examining I find it's no longer useful. Like "I bought this game, therefore I must get maximum value from it".
Sometimes things run their course, and that's that.
