Hi Angel.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Being an "adult" is one of the most overused Universal roles the ego likes to play. All it is is another role for your ego to invest itself in. Eckart Tolle would say, "Just be." Trust me other "adults" aren't having much fun playing that role. And about the work- Once you find something that truly inspires you you are going to want to do it more and more and more. The line between too much and not wanting to do anything at all will disappear because you'll enjoy what it is that you are doing so much that you hope and pray you get more of it.

I think this point comes through a lot of introspection especially of ones vision of their life. If you're truly doing something that is congruent with Who You Want To Be then their never will be an issue of having someone else do the work for you.

I can relate on the procrastination issue. I've only got several hours of sleep in the past 48 hours and maybe you're not pushing yourself hard enough. Sometimes if I slip up I find myself not pushing myself to my limits. Yet when I'm pushing myself to my limits it's much more fun and interesting seeing myself hit these psychological walls and really see what I'm made of.

Maybe try a new diet or something new.
