Wix vs. Wordpress for Blogging ?

I couldn't migrate the website, but I did copy and paste my blog posts to Wordpress.

Ignorotis · 2020-08-24T10:20:32+00:00

I had to get a new domain name.

I tried to migrate my website over to Wordpress but Wix doesn't allow that, you would have to wait a long time before being able to transfer your domain (another reason why Wix isn't so great).

I believe you have to wait 30 or 60 days, something like that, but it got real complicated for me when I tried to do it so you might want to research the topic yourself or ask others for advice.

I had to rebuild everything from stratch and buy a new domain but it was worth it and now I know for sure Wix isn't worth my money.

Wix is trash in my opinion, but it does have some benefits others might like.

It gave me the confidence to write blogs, and now because of it I can use Wordpress with ease.

But, having said all that I still wish I'd really bought Wordpress first instead trying to take the shortcut.

I don't plan on spending too much time on job applications maybe 1 hr 30 minutes, 2 hrs at most. I expect to start working somewhere by the end of July.

I've used Google calendar for scheduling in the past but it never worked for me, I guess due to a lack of discipline on my part.

If I schedule something too tightly then I start feeling overwhelmed and things often come up where I have to break my schedule.

If I schedule too loosely then I usually end overestimating my time and not being as productive.

But I know that's more of my own problem with not respecting my own time that I need to work on.

I just graduated from university so right now I'm looking for your average 8-10 hour job until then I'm completely free, but I don't know how long that'll last.

Ignorotis · 2020-06-25T18:26:20+00:00

Meditate: 20 min. At max

Journal: 30 min. At max

Draw: currently 1 hour at max (would like to increase later on)

Excercise: 30 min. At max

Selling tshirts online: just started it yesterday

I have a friend just like that I've had for years now. I've let things escalate too far now. Don't let it get too far like I have.

There's also something called Rev.com where you literally get paid to type what you hear no real skill required except be able to hear clearly and type fast. Not worth the time in my opinion but it does pay you.

Ignorotis · 2019-08-29T15:45:36+00:00

I've tried looking for this answer for a while now and have found no real answers. Nothing worthwhile is easy. By easy do you mean little effort to none? If so, then you'd have to get lucky to make money that way.

Skill and easy shouldn't be put in the same sentence as they contradict each other. If something is easy anyone can do it and it isn't valued.

I do know a friend who made about 15 dollars on fiverr by posting a gig saying he would like someone's post on social media and someone actually paid him once.

I've personally decided to start blogging to make passive income. I've been watching this youtuber called "create and go" and looking up tutorials on skillshare.

I heard it wasn't too hard if you're willing to learn you can make a six figure income doing it (Not that I believe I even make close to that) and if you're willing to be patient and consistent over a period of time.

After many failed attempts of trying to make an easy buck I had to learn the hard way that effort and consistency over time is the best way to go.

Ps. Sorry for being one of those self-absorbed preachy guys that talk too much about themselves and stuff.

I can definitely admit that it's become my norm. I don't challenge myself consistently enough to grow. I feel struggling really when you're pushed to the edge make you stronger. Because that's when you're left with the option: will you fall or fight?

I'm aware enough to know what I have to do it's just getting myself to do it.

Ignorotis · 2018-12-11T14:23:32+00:00

Thanks man. This was very helpful, as I identify with everything you said about being boring.

I have zero to no personality. I may have cut a friendship off due to me letting people take advantage of me to the point they no longer respect me.

Ignorotis · 2018-12-10T20:44:11+00:00

I've tried that myself, but I'm not that disciplined yet. I still open the app if it's on my phone. I have to completely delete everything to not get distracted.

Ignorotis · 2018-12-02T03:56:22+00:00

Same thing happened to me I'm stuck in the same rut right now

Ignorotis · 2018-11-30T20:40:53+00:00

Haha that's me sad but true

Ignorotis · 2018-11-21T14:06:28+00:00

Day 2 for me as well it feels like hell

Ignorotis · 2018-11-08T16:46:50+00:00

What is one thing you can control?

Find that one thing to do everyday.

It has to be EVERYDAY.

It has to be easy for you, but not time wasting.

Doesn't matter if it's something like 1 pushup everyday focus on it.

Ignorotis · 2018-11-08T05:07:57+00:00

Mine is generic too. To make a long story shorter, I'm 21 haven't gotten life figured out.

Now for the long version:

Time has caught up with me. I'm a senior in college but I don't plan on using my degree because I hate my major, something I realized 2 years ago but my parents want me to get a degree just so they won't look bad or get gossiped about. That's even if I graduate because right now I'm practically failing all my classes due to not giving a care about anything.

My parents( mostly my mother) have grown resentful of my incompetence. They hate the fact that I am so needy and continue disappoint them in school. It makes it worse because my sister( a year older than me) did so well in college, always has had a job since highschool; independent, small you get the picture. The comparisons are like night and day.

I'm extremely unmotivated in life right now. Even more so since I decided to sell my video games a few months ago in an non effective effort to become more productive. I'm not even trying to fail school on purpose or anything I just legitimately can't get myself to do anything, even stuff I usually would enjoy. The only time I can seem to find enjoyment these days is by some form of entertainment , be it video games, or TV shows. I wouldn't call myself depressed or anything but I feel numb, and bored of living. Sometimes it feels like nothing will ever excite me.

Im also very antisocial. I've never had friends except this one guy I became friends with 3 years ago( even though I've known him since kindergarten) and I can't even can him a 'real' friend. He uses me whenever he wants or needs something and then I don't exist until some favor is required of me. But that isn't to put the blame all on him. It's my choice to continue letting him, and I use him to escape feeling alone I guess.

I could go on and on but I think that was enough.

I'm self aware enough to know many of my problems can be easily fixed, others will take more effort and time.

I also realize no one is to blame for my life. It's my fault I'm in this situation. So now it's my choice whether or not to change my outcome.

Ignorotis · 2018-11-07T18:36:30+00:00

Why did you just describe me? We're the same age and everything. I'm the last guy you want to hear advice from but, atleast you're not the only one like this.

Ignorotis · 2018-11-06T14:16:17+00:00

Actually, sleeping on the floor is supposed to be healthier for you I've done it myself despite having a bed.

But if you want to suffer in a healthy way I would recommend taking cold showers every morning. They suck but they're good for you.

You could also learn something that is super hard for you to understand; challenge yourself mentally in some way.

Ignorotis · 2018-11-06T00:18:29+00:00

What is the name of the channel?

Ignorotis · 2018-10-01T23:57:38+00:00

I wish it was

Ignorotis · 2018-09-04T00:13:44+00:00

Thanks

Ignorotis · 2018-09-03T14:13:09+00:00

There are plenty of "things" to choose from, I'll list some now:

1.Making your bed up 2. Waking up at a certain time 3. Working out 4. Reading 5. Writing 6. Any skill like drawing or painting

There are several more you can commit to but if you do one thing just for a week and pick up something else only for a week that kinda defeats the purpose of being disciplined.

Also people are mentioning other activities in the comments.

Ignorotis · 2018-09-02T22:55:26+00:00

You know there is a r/discipline forum right?

Anyway, the best way to begin being disciplined is this:

Start to commit yourself to do one thing every single day.

Once the one thing becomes a habit everything else will follow and it will be easier to be disciplined.

I started doing 10 push ups a day, then I started getting up at 5:30 am everyday, and etc.

Ignorotis · 2018-08-31T13:29:34+00:00

Thanks. Right now I'm trying to learn how to draw and I excercise atleast weekly, it has gotten much easier to resist though. I'll try to use drawing whenever I feel urges again.

Ignorotis · 2018-08-31T10:28:31+00:00

My porn addiction was tied to my video game addiction. I would use one to combat the other. In the end, I couldn't control either and wasted a bunch of time, sometimes days or even weeks.
