Help me /biz/ how do I stop myself from continuing to decline?

Some background: used to be somewhat intelligent- programmed for fun, studied math, music, read constantly. Even though I dropped out of high school I still worked on my own projects and I had a lot of energy and curiosity. Eventually I entered the workforce, got married, and have gotten successively better jobs every year or so. Now have a decent job, wife, and a little bit of security but in the process I've found that my capacity for studying and learning new things has plummeted. I don't even have the attention span to read any sort of academic literature. Can't get back into my old hobbies. Each time I try I just give up by the end of the day and go back to my current lifestyle of wasting my time and being unproductive.

Can I still change myself for the better? What do?

Age, anon? I hit 30 recently and can tell Im not as sharp as I was 5+ years ago. Im trying to stack enough to retire before I become obsolete.

bungee jumping with 30+ is essentially a meme.
op, life is not supposed to be adrenalin filled piece of pink woojaks. you are doing fine and adjusting to the abundance of money. motivation lazyness among priviledged non-starving white folk is common, you just gotta embrace it rather than seeing it the negative way. take a few days off for yourself and brainstorm whats most important for your next decades.

tldr - my advise: hang a lil longer in there, save as much as possible, 20% crypto, 30% conservative shit and rest dividend paying stocks. once you are able to sustain an appropriate level of living through passively earned dividends, you should be having excess capital. after that you take time off work and put more time into recreational creative stuff, smoke weed and sell nude paintings of your gf while accumulating wealth by the second.

tldr buy btc

Get a kid

Counterintuitive, I know.

But spending every waking moment taking care of another human being will make you appreciate how precious spare time is and how much of it you used to have.

The downside is that you won't be able to do productive shit until kid is old enough for daycare.

seems like settling down is what is doing this to you, not only have you settled down with a woman you've also settled down lifestyle wise and academically wise.
Just how people get fat once they settle down in marriage.

Wow I'm impressed that's the shittiest advice I've seen today.

how do you get your jollies?

for me MMOs made it hard to enjoy anything because I was used to that easy dopamine

you gotta ween yourself off of whatever it is, and learn to appreciate actual rewarding things again... I mean, speaking from my own experience

How has nobody said "stop eating processed food and lift weights" ?

Both have been shown countless times to slow cognitive decline and improve energy and focus

You already knew this too

Same here anon. We are discovering the truth that nobody talks about, you are fucked after a certain age. It is inevitable that we all turn into unaware, dimwitted, slow learning boomers, and nobody who knows will tell you because they are bitter, spiteful fucks.

Wish for the best anon, imagine that times 100x now.
I fell for the 'just on weekends' meme
And decided to mess with meth again.
Well i've been doing it for 1 year , every fucking day. Not in crazy amounts but still

Now i'm stopping, It's like a needle has been stuck in my brain and drained every pleasureable / energetic neurotransmitter...

Anyways , just be glad you aren't me bro. I can recommend some supplements and noorotropics if you want a natural boost to your motivation / energy.

Use smart drugs aka nootropics to stay sharp. You can buy them with your plummeting crypto here: https://extrasynaptic.com/synthetic-nootropics-c-23_24/
