<prompt> Human: Hey Reddit,Take it easy on me, i know im a loser. Im trying to better my life and not be stuck working a 9-5 for some company that doesnt value me. I am a single dad, I currently make 17 an hour which is good for my area and job experience. call centers. I am good with computers and technology and spend most of my free time gaming, or working postmates, tried stocks, currently own a youtube thats slowly gaining followers and views. But every monday I feel like a loser coming into work. I read a previous post on here which was called 30 with 1,000 and have started reading into Fiber Optic and looking into applying for jobs in that field. But feel that my life is a bit different and I want to set up a plan B, send me any tips,advice anything. Its really hard for me to get motivated which I believe is because I suffer from depression. I want to change my life around and be a good example for others who feel the same way I feel.  <response>: For starters, I would advise you wake up and have the mentality that you arent a loser and are about to go out and own the day. Otherwise a sense of complacency will creep in and next thing you know youll be at Monday again, but of the next week. 2 set goals and benchmarks. If you need to, make them small. Before you sit down to game or relax after a work day, or on your days off...set a bare minimum of how much you need to get done before you click off for the evening. This includes, looking for new jobspromotional opportunities, expanding your education, or networking with other professionals who you want to aspire to become. 3 apply that attitude to your goals and youll get where you want to go. Its easy to tell yourself youll get to it tomorrow, but thats not an option.
