So you have had your share of rides. Extreme highs and extreme lows. It has made you realise actually the things that matter and the trivial ones, which should not. And you then see people fretting around you over the trivial ones and kinda wonder, just why ? Things like ratings, boss's, money someone else is making etc.
And then you go back in time and recollect a phase of your own life when you were the other person. And then you start accepting things as they are.
Now you are this guy for better or for worse who kinda knows the things which matter and so you make plans, like everybody else. Long term plans, something which is not your specialty. And then accept the fact that everyday life will be a humdrum affair and you will just have to wait for the evenings in the mornings, the fridays on the mondays and the next week in this week. And you realise also that generally you are wasting your time.
And then the transients hit you, the humdrum of daily life. You try to tell yourself, these are only transients. Over a sufficiently long time frame, transients die out and are forgotten. But what the hell do you do when you are right in the middle of a transients, doing silly things, realising that you are wasting your time. It is like your head wants to explode, sometimes you fall from your path, are rude to people around you, snap at people for unnecessary reasons.
No, I have not yet found answers as to what to do then. The simple answer is trivialise things, learn to laugh at problems, understand that they are not the biggest things in this world.
But when it is your own bloody life in which these things happen, it makes you think.
And thought is the most dangerous device.

Thoughts are not dangerous unless you over exploit them. If used as a tool they can be helpful.
Also, the more you plan the chances of it going down the drain are higher.
Also, one never knows what they do want in life. It's a futile effort to run after an answer like that. To start, think about what you certainly don't want and get rid of it. Slowly you might just get to what you do want.
I have found it easier to live each day as it comes and love living it. Whatever you don't like, don't do it. It is actually that simple. We complicate it by over thinking and over analysing.
My two bits worth of intellect.
One thing I have always believed in-today is the first day of the rest of your life:)so generally i question-so what am i gonna do today:)it takes away too much thinking about long term and i focus on what i have in my hand to accomplish now:)tomorrow is far.
@anon
thx for the advice, yours is just one path towards the objective, their might be many more..., but the objective itself seems secondary.
@Shweta
