I can feel much better if I'm busy, but if I don't have any obligation, I don't have initiative to do something. Any of you experience the same? How to deal with it? I can't have a full and regular schedule because my university classes are quite scattered and change often.

when you say "do something" or "get busy" would working at some kind of free-lance job qualify?

i know but someone need to hire you or buy your product/service, i don't know how to do it. (in portuguese we use the term job, in english :D, to mean this sort of service, that's why I though it could mean the same)

yeh, seems entrepreneurialism is a gene one either is born with or without, cannot be taught. I just figured you had a hobby that you could monetize somehow. you might yet have one, but it's up to you to find it.

I can do graphic design stuff and architecture visualization as well, but sometimes I so drained by university that I can't work on it.

I'm swimming and I took many classes this semester – but I still have the weekend and Monday completely free. I was thinking about taking sewing classes but I won't have money.

do young people nowadays feel the need to mend clothing items? if so, your sewing might be monetizable.

but it would take long time and investment – I would need a sewing machine and I don't know how to sew yet (OK I just know very basic things). I wouldn't want to do it to monetize, I would like just to do stuff for myself.

yes, i ain't "busy" either.

but quite frankly, being "busy" is not a moral strength.

some precious lil "people" act like they are so "busy" that they are important. but that does not mean that what they are doing is important, or even justified.

seriously.

maybe they just have big egos.

swimming is excellent exercise :wtg: best swimming exercise I've found, is crawlstroke forward and backstroke backwards. :idea:
