How to outsource life planning? (lemmy.ml)

I'm completely inept at organizing changes in my life, which means I waste a many weeks being 'stuck' when I could be out living/working somewhere interesting/etc. I was watching Top Gear the other day and I realized that what I really need is to have 'producers' like they do on the show who take care of the logistics of things so that the protagonist can just sail through. I realize that this doesn't come for free so I would be willing to join a group where one such plan is made for the whole group, or switch to a job where having someone plan your life (at least the working part) is a requirement of the job. In other words, I am willing to trade some of my sovereignty/independence for this. Any recommendations? (Just for context, I am not in the US and I'm not old.)

Sounds like you might enjoy joining up. A strict day that is organized for you, physical training, and you're getting paid.

Downside is, depending on where you live you might be sent to kill someone or get killed yourself.

Yeah, I think the military is the only environment where your entire schedule is planned for you.

If OP can't hire a personal assistant then this is the only option if they want 24/7 scheduling managed by another person or group.

Unless you want to join a farming co-op, OP? Requires money and effort on your part but no risk of being deployed overseas. Less rigid scheduling but lots of stuff to do that will dominate your time.
