procrastination

I have a very bad habit: procrastination. First month of this year has gone, didn't finish a single thing what I've said I would do in this year. Is there just me do procrastination? How do you discipline yourself?

That's the biggest problem when it comes to achieving our goasl, we just say that "this year I will do it...", but the key is: 

How am I going to do this?

Here's how I learned how to do what I "said" I would.

. get 3 papers

. write all the things you said you would do last year and you didn't, then explain "why" you haven't done them (be careful with the blaming other's action, the goals were yours and not them).

. now write on the next paper all your goals for this year.

. and by comparing your failed goals you will write on the last paper how you will achieve these new goals (or old ones).


For example:
This year I want to learn French - how? By studing two hours and 30 minutes 6 days a week during....
Last year I wanted to lose 3kg - why I didn't accomplish that? Because instead of creating small goals during the year (by running 30 minutes per day and increase that with the time) I just procrastinated it every single day by saying or thinking: tomorrow I can do that, tomorrow i will have more time...

Try to put these papers on the wall of your room and ready it every morning, use reminders app, or a virtual agenda to help you  keep your goals on track, and believe me, the day you fail you'll feel so bad that the next week you'll be there for real haha.

That's when the miracles happen: when we put the responsability over our shoulders and not on people's, time, weather, money etc.

Nothing happens overnight and habits are something we build every day and to be able to do that, we have to create a plan, I don't see anyone saying "I want to start a company" without creating a plan before working on it.

I hope it helps.

Hello ! I do procrastinate a lot too, but I think it's mainly because I'm undecided ro suddenly impulsive (no in-between it seems) and I want to start everything at once ! Which, of course, is impossible to do ! I end up doing nothing uuh.

I think that when you procrastinate your work, it's because you have a lot to do and you think you'll never have the time / the courage to do it. Maybe the best to do is to start with a simple task that doesn't take long. By the time you're finished this simple task you feel more comfortable and think that while you're at it you could do that next task, and so on.

Maybe ?

Also, get some help by watching videos about how to achieve your goals etc.

They are energy pills to me.

Have you ever wondered it is because you are deprived of sleep? When you are tired, you are more likely to procrastinate.

sorry to say it, but I'm so happy to know I'm not alone. [emoji]
