Parents telling me what I already know

Yeah, as much as I love my dad, it gets annoying. I already know that I need to be disciplined with my work. I know that I should use my time wiser. And I know that I want to make a living where I do what I love. But it's quite depressing when your parents see no results, all because you're in-progress.
But honestly, what annoys me most is that I only have myself to blame for letting so much time slip by, while I'm playing around surfing the internet, playing games, and reading fanfics. I have myself to blame. And every free time I have is a struggle to prioritize my time and not stall to think more pointlessly on what I should do next or how to do it.
The reminders and the "suggestions" get to me and it's almost depressing. It makes me ponder where I'm going with my life, and whether God is even going to show me what I need to do.
But in a recent bible study, I've come to realize that the whole point of not knowing, is that it's an opportunity to humbly trust and submit your life and yourself to Him. The term "as you go" comes to mind. How I do in my job, how I use my time, how I make great cartoons to make a person smile, that's all for Him in some way.
This was quite a while ago, but it basically sums up what I was going through at that time.

I hear you! I'm old enough to be the parent (empty nester), but now that I have a chance to do this too, I am asking God to teach me self control. Gotta use my time wisely and for His glory. I'm new at Tapastic and will be checking out your webcomic.
