I'm in the same boat. I'm procrastinating more and more and I sleep less and less. I've lost interest in doing new things so much that I don't even feel like watching a new show anymore. End up watching Seinfeld again and again. I'm a pink Floyd fan but just few weeks back this finally hit me like it had never before.

"And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time. Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines."

What I'm trying to change now is reset and restart small. Because I now compare myself to all my successful peers, I've forgotten that it takes small steps to build something. So rather than looking at the the final outcome I'm looking to focus more on small and short tasks. There is no going back to my 20's but I can have better and healthier rest of my life.




Wow. Just had to say I'm turning 35 this month and had the exact same epiphany when listening to the "Time" recently. When I was young and in my 20's I would get high and listen to it and just loved the way it sounded. But now the lyrics really ring true. "And then one day you find ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun" really gets me.
