I work for a company in bay area who has pretty good tech stack. Company is around for 10+ years now and job is okay. However, lately I have got into bad habit of working 12+ hours. Unfortunately I am not making any progress as well. It is just same issue and same task going over and over again.
I just keep planning without any action. This year I decided that I will work on a side project. So far I have only purchased domain and made zero progress beyond it.
I also want to learn machine learning, scala and bunch of other stuff. How do I do that? Travel in bay area takes daily 2 hrs out of my life. I am also looking to date a girl but I can't find time and motivation to log in to online account and send cheesy messages.
I feel bad because I am not making any progress and because I feel bad I don't make any progress.
I go to gym at least 3 times a week and do some light exercise. I am not obese.
Did anyone suffer from such dilemma ? How do you become go getter and someone who is just outstanding or above average ?
