Jordan Peterson - Why it's so Hard to Sit Down and Study/Work
You know, if you are sitting down to study, for example:
your conscious intent is to study but you konw perfectly well that all sorts of distraction fantasies are going to enter the theatre of your imagination,
non-stop and annoyingly, and there is not really a lot you can do about that except maybe wait it out you konw.
So you will be stting there reading and your attention will fliker away, you will think about, i don't konw, maybe you want to watch Jane the Virgin on Netflix or something like that or maybe it's time to have a peanutbutter sandwich or... you should get the dust bunnies from out... from underneath the bed or it's time to go outside and have a cigarette or it's like all these subsystems in you that would like something aren't...very happy, just to sit there while your read this thing that your're actually bored by.
And so they pop up and try to take control of your perceptions and your actions non-stop.
Maybe you think: well this is a stupied course anyways, why do i have read this damn paper, and what am i doing in universtry, and what's the point of life,
it's like you can really get going if you're trying to avoid doing your homework, and then you might think: well what is it in you that's trying to avoid beacause... after all you took the damn course and you told yourself to sit down, why don't you listen?
Well... because you're a mess, that's basically why you haven't got control over yourself at all, and no more than i have control over this laptop.
Okey, So there's the memory function of the unconsicous.
