I honestly think now that the best course of action is really working on the things that you desire while being patient about it and spending a lot of time on it with a positive attitude. Sometimes, the going will get tough but it's where you have to learn to stick to it. If your mind just can't keep up for any reason, then it's going to not be happening for you. It's just the way it is, so the best way to keep going for me is maintaining positivity and a great work ethic.
Of course, there needs to be some balance in your life so I would probably just start writing down things in general that you want to do and then find the opportunity to help you get there. It's great to just be accepting of things that might take too long for you and aren't as interesting while leading yourself to do the ones that would be more attractive and rewarding. It really comes down to proper time management, which I still have some trouble dealing with.
