Is it really best to focus on 2-3 goals and do everything in order to achieve them?

Is there any reason for me to not focus all of my energy on getting good at a couple of things only besides le "burning out" meme?

You're asking a bunch of retarded basement dwelling xenophobes with no accomplishments or insights for life advice so you're already off to a horrible start.

I used it as an more precise adjective than timid, fearful, ignorant, or pathetic. You can interpret it however you want, dumb frogposter.

Oh, it's you again. First of all, what you need is some long-term vision, something to strive for that will seem meaningful even when you're down in the gutter, but it needs to be at least concrete enough for you to be able to tell if you're getting closer to it or not. Your goals will be very concrete and pragmatic milestones; things you need to achieve to fulfill this long-term vision. That way you always have something specific you need to do, and even if whatever it is you're supposed to do feels meaningless and joyless on a particular day, you can always remind yourself why it's necessary.

Thank you schlomo. How can I form this long term vision?

I kind of just do things like going to the gym or learning something just because it's the best thing to do at the moment, but I don't really plan so far down the line.

I think you're definitely right in that I first need to adopt a concrete philosophy and worldview from which everything will stem. Once I have an important reason to do everything I do then being lazy or not putting my utmost effort into these things would just be inexcusable to myself.

Can't really help you there much. It's a matter of introspection. Ask yourself what things always inspire you, and what things seem to retain their value even when everything else looks meaningless to you.

Doing leisurey things just because you feel like it is fine, too, but you should probably spend the equivalent of a full time job working towards your milestones regardless of your mood. You'll feel much better in the end of the day.

Is there any books that can help me develop a philosophy? I just need ideas for questions to ask myself and to think about to form one.

And no I disagree on the leisure thing. If I have an ultimate goal, then doing ANYTHING other than the optimal path to it is an excuse and shouldn't be tolerated by myself. I understand that people who make excuses are just lying to themselves, or coping.

If the thing you want most is making 10 million dollars let's say then I see literally no excuse not to work as close to 16 hours a day as possible.

But the problem is I don't really know how to set such a longterm and specific goal.

Probably, but I don't really know any.

Well, I gave you two that are key.

I think you know deep down that "le burn out meme" is not a meme. Working 16 hours a day when you're enjoying yourself and everything's going smoothly is easy, but try it when you already feel like shit and you have a bunch of unpleasant tasks to finish and you'll see how quickly it can drain you. You're setting yourself up for failure. You'll get predictably tired and quit, then tell yourself that you've done your damn best and it still didn't work to legitimize idle moping.
