I'm just a university student coming back from a year of work. My ambition and passion is hampering myself; I love to program, I love computer science, I love the web, I love the world. There's nothing I don't want to do - but I sincerely feel the lack of discipline in this world full of opportunities.

How can you focus on one single thing when you want to do them all and when you see that everything is connected and you don't have the necessary experience yet?

I've ended up in an infinite loop. Jumping from task to task. Help - I need a breakpoint.

I know this exact feeling; in fact I'm in the same position having just finished a year of work before going back to university.

I've got more ideas and interests I want to pursue _right now_ than I have time in the day. I also can't imagine going back to being an employee after having this realisation!
