Hi Nicutza, that’s a tough situation to be in. Outside pressure is a big problem. Unfortunately, the majority of people believe a university track is the only way to make it in life. But you have to do whatever makes you happy.

You’re right!
Doing NOW the things you love is more important then hoping for some high paying job (or a fulfiling relationship, or a bussines etc etc) in the future – because you need to be happy now, not in un undefinite time in the future (wich usually never comes).

Yet is very hard to live with that during the lyceum (it’s the high school in Moldova). We have to study here 15 subjects (mostly of them are hard and require alot of time: physics, programing, chemistry, literature, geography…) and, even if I was one of the best students in school till now, the last two years I am stuggling to mentain myself on the surface. My grades had drastically decreased and my parents pressurize me to study harder to make them higher, so I could go to a better university…The only thig is that I can’t study when I feel that everythig I hear and read at school would help me in life. So, I’m clueless about what can I do in this situation….

Hi Paula

I have struggled with the same question for a long time.
I have met many people and have come across very few who genuinely enjoyed the process even when the stakes were high.

I read a scientific study which showed how making progress towards what we want releases dopamine in our brains and gives us a high.

I have found that personally I only enjoy the process when I know it is leading to some place. It is leading to success.

So the two things kind of connect.
Personally I have tried to extremely slow my pace down (deliberately), at the cost of moving slower in the direction of my goal. It just makes the process more enjoyable………..and its working so far :)

More Demetri Martin coming in tomorrow’s article! (I think) It wasn’t a gag. It’s his story.

My timeboxing has come unboxed for the past 2 days. :)

Demetri Martin is awesome. So stilted though-is that a gag?

I find myself processing the love as well as loving the process.
analysis paralysis, or the opposite of Just Fucking Do It. :)

How do you manage to live while still being extremely responsive?
Timeboxing doesn’t seem time enough.

My boyfriend's mother keeps insinuating that I should get a "real" (read: cubicle) job while I'm trying to save up money for my Mongolian project. Right now I walk dogs during the day and soon I will be waiting tables at a really nifty neighborhood cafe in the evening. Neither job is "glamorous", but they're active and fun and I make enough money to pay my bills, and I find them way more intellectually stimulating than sitting at a desk shuffling papers around all day. If I had to sit in a cubicle to raise money for this project, I probably wouldn't be doing the project at all.
