I’m completely inept at organizing changes in my life, which means I waste a many weeks being ‘stuck’ when I could be out living/working somewhere interesting/etc. I was watching Top Gear the other day and I realized that what I really need is to have ‘producers’ like they do on the show who take care of the logistics of things so that the protagonist can just sail through. I realize that this doesn’t come for free so I would be willing to join a group where one such plan is made for the whole group, or switch to a job where having someone plan your life (at least the working part) is a requirement of the job. In other words, I am willing to trade some of my sovereignty/independence for this. Any recommendations? (Just for context, I am not in the US and I’m not old.)

    Unless you’re very wealthy, you can’t hire someone to functionally be your mother.

    What you can do, is sign up for interest groups that meet on a set schedule, then build your routine around that.

    For example,

    I go bowling with my friend each Sunday. I go out to dinner and meet people every Wednesday. I go to the gym every Tuesday and Thursday.

    Just like that, I have 4/7 days of my week more or less planned, including working. Everything else radiates around those plans. I go to the barber on Wednesday, because I want to look good for dinner. Saturday is a self care day, because I’m tired from the weeks happenings on tues-thurs.

    Friday stays open as a “fuck it we ball” night. Fuck Mondays, I don’t do on mondays.

    What you’re looking for here is 110% unrealistic, even if you could afford a personal assistant to keep track of your schedule for you you would still have to have things to do to structure that schedule around.

    Tl;dr, in a super loving way, grow up. Or enlist in your countries military, then you don’t have to think about your day at all for years.
