Questions

There are questions which I have been thinking would be helpful to ask myself, so as to help steer myself into doing things which I think important and/or satisfying. So far I have had little success in making these - or rather the awareness it is their intention to generate - habits of mine and it was thought that, perhaps, the act of writing, or even of posting in a perhaps public way might help stir and fix this idea where it is intended to do its thing.

My intention is to be aware of what thing is most important and highest priority to be attended to, and to attend to that rather than idle amusements. My intention is to find things I can be proud of accomplishing and to accomplish them. My intention is to know things I would enjoy doing (e.g. writing, reading actual books again, learning html, learning Mandarin) and gain satisfaction from, and that if I have not engaged in at least one of those in the course of a day it should be because something more important or urgent took precedence, not because I have used my time for less satisfying pursuits.

This is considered a provisional step toward solving several problems along the lines of not taking pride in anything I do or accomplish, and of ending days feeling as if they have been wasted.
