lazy, apathetic and unmotivated?

These traits receded significantly when I got sober

Not saying get sober...but maybe cut back?

I took this as literally throwing yourself into something.  Like you get up in the mining and run into a bookshelf or something.

I'm actually very productive on opiates. The high motivates me to be creative, write letters to friends, compose songs, do housework, etc.

Cannabis on the other hand.

I have found that making lists helps a little. if you make a list of things you would like to accomplish the next day you can rest much better because there is less worry. When you wake up you have an idea of things you can accomplish. If you get a few done, than great! something done is something done. 

Daily meditation really helps with focus, especially if you incorporate movement like yoga or qi gong.

i do not at all agree with setting goals, goals lead to dissapointment manggg. Okay everybody has some goals at some point in his live but i do try to avoid. I change my lifestyle completely regularly, to keep things interesting. I get bored about every job after around 6 months, then normally hang on for 6 months and then i just cant take it anymore. I get that bored grumpy coworker that takes nothing serious and tries to make fun of everybody if possible. Had the same at school, i tried 4 different studies and didnt finish one of them. Also i have a new hobby like every half year and the old one just doesnt interest me anymore, until maybe after a few years when i start to pick it up again. I also randomly have these lifechanging ideas that i think are great and always pursue to bring to life, but they usually end up costing me money. I feel like im made to roam the world and to live in a different country every year. I think most people get anchored in their surroundings and  dont even dare to think how it could be in other places. It just all starts to bore me so soon. Its not that i feel too good for it all, its just that my brain alltime needs something new to stay awake. I m very lucky that my wife keeps up with my lifestyle and it also gets her adventurous side out. To conclude, yes im also a lazy bastard but its changes in life that can keep you busy and your mind occupied. Boredom kills.

Out of everybody that answered, your post is the one I can relate to the most. I have that 6 months then I'm bored out of my mind thing. So many jobs I have quit within 6 months even if they we're good jobs.

I quit a 20$ per hour job after 6 months because I was about to go crazy. Like I had to.

This describes me too. I'm leaving a $20+ an hour job this summer to move overseas. I'm only 24, way too young to be a soulless corporate desk slave

Nothing wrong with being a corporate desk slave so long as it gives you the opportunity to be what you do want to be outside of work.
