Needs to be realistic.

For myself, I would like to always be on time for things - inspired by that other thread. I'm usually late to anything but doctors' appointments.
 
Be more motivated and getrdone. I have all these ideas for projects and other stuff that come through my mind, but when it comes to actually executing them, I never fully follow through I have so many near completed but unfinished projects on the go, it's crazy.

For example I wrote a forum software from scratch, it was nearly done, I got bored, never finished it. I started on a server management system, got bored, never finished it. I have lot of more active projects that I've just kinda let go, or when I do work on them, I'm just not motivated.

What's funny is I will get motivated at times, but it's always at a bad time, such as 11:00pm on a night where I work the day after.
 
Motivation is highly unrealistic of me.

I'm not sure at this point. I am confused by what you meant realistic.

One thing? I don't know. If I could have a hot body that still resembled me then that would be nice. That would essentially solve all my lady problems. It's amazing how easy things go when a girl is physically attracted to you. It's fucking impossible if girls find you utterly repulsive physically.
 
Personality. I rolled a 3 on charisma. I used to think that at the very least I could assert myself in matters of school work with confidence, but even there I've gone on detailed explanations answering a peer's question over a homework problem, only to receive "Hmm, ok, I'll ask someone else, thanks for trying." Now, try asking me a more ambiguous, non-tangible, and multifaceted question like "How is it going?" and watch me stutter as I try to piece together an answer using whatever information is immediately available and come to the answer of "Not much." Then laugh as I only remember that I'm supposed to reciprocate such questions, some thirty minutes later.

Tricky but on the surface I'd say I wish I was more driven and had follow through with that drive. I'm already pretty driven and more so than most people I personally know but I wish I could be the kind of person that would decide to do something challenging that takes dedication and focus over a period of time and just do it all the way in every instance.

Examples would be studying for other technical certifications. I want the certain I just loath studying technical books all the time. So unengaging to me. Half the time I feel like I've been drugged with sleeping pills trying to force myself to read such dry technical boring stuff 🙁

Also stuff like exercise, work around my house that I would like to do but don't have to do or have done at any set time/date. For instance I have two stacks of large 12" x 12" pavers on my back porch. I need to level out the dirt around my porch, add some top weed block an a layer of sand and lay them out but I just REALLY don't have a big drive to take on that back breaking task.

I say tricky in that if I had this "wish" granted and woke up with a level of drive like no one else I could see how that might be in conflict with my wife not always being drug along to do projects nonstop as one example. I could see how that could become annoying to others.
