Paramotivation


I found out something curious about myself, namely that I always have something to do and yet the focus of my motivation is for a side-agenda. When at school I concentrated quite a large part of my time playing PC games and writing programs in BASIC.
When I went to college I concentrated on Pure Mathematics and my Physics and Chemistry studies lagged behind. I found it hard to balance them.
When at a university I would play again with programs in Mathematica investigating the properties of prime numbers and number theory in general. Most of the other studies lagged behind.
At the moment I play around with tracker music, personal programming studies and again my studies are suffering. I wonder whether knowing of this problem there is something that I could do about it and actually get done what benefits me most while acting to myself that I really need to focus on something that is really a side issue. Such an agenda might motivate me to get the real agenda moving.
