There is something so hard for people to admit that most would deny its obvious truth. The truth is too shameful.
The truth is that wherever you are is where you want to be. Whatever you are doing is what you want to do. You do not need to learn time management. You are managing your time exactly how you want to. It's not a failure of willpower. You are exerting your will exactly as you want to.
Does your life suck? Do you suffer from some medical ailment? Are you fat? Do you have trouble meeting people? Are you in debt? Does your job suck?
If so, why haven't you changed? It is the 21st century. Have you ever looked at this thing called the Internet? Have you been to a public library? Have you shopped at Amazon? Do you know about online message forums?
Pick the most obscure subject in the world and I guarantee there is a web forum devoted to it.
I had a strange skin ailment afflict me. This ailment is so rare that it's not even diagnosed by most doctors. Yet there is a message board devoted to the subject. There are hundreds of people exchanging stories and tips. I was able to find the leading researcher on this ailment. I also learned that a trip to the Dead Sea will basically cure me. I just need to get "well enough" in order to take the trip.
If I can find out how to cure something that affects something like .0001% of the population, why are you fat and miserable? Why can't you get laid? Why is your credit garbage?
It sure isn't because you lack information. There are probably a dozen different dieting books that would help you lose weight. Paleo, vegetation, fruitarian, South Beach, Zone…Pick one. They will all work.
How many books are there with "personal finance" in the title? Suze Orman and Dave Ramsey's books are cheesy but they undoubtedly work. No one who has actually followed the advice has ever said, "Total Money Makeover doesn't work!" Buy one and follow it. That's all it takes to become debt free.
The saddest secret in the world is that you're miserable by choice. You don't want to get better. You are content to wallow in your own fecal matter, like a hog.
I personally have no problem with that. It's your life. Do your thing.
Just don't act as if you aren't, with each decision made day after day, singularly responsible for ruining it.
