I am way too comfortable with procrastination and I hate it.
Have you ever sat and stared at your computer screen, longing for inspiration on the work you decided you knew you had and wanted to do? Do you remember back in school when homework would find its way to be done, about 12 hours before it’s due? Well for me it was and is still the case.
I have numerous drafts of blog posts, photos that needed post processing and an online portfolio that is just begging for my attention. So why do I not press ahead? I’d like to give some elaborate story about not having the right setup or that I don’t feel good enough. But I’d only be lying to myself. I have a better setup than most and I have some amazing friends who constantly, genuinely and without provocation supply me with positive feedback.
Laziness
Fear Of Failure
One solution is writing down goals. If you do go down that route then just set yourself small weekly goals. Set ones that you can tick off. Also when setting goals, make sure you reward yourself. Simple ones like watching en extra episode of your favorite TV show or even having a lie in. Also, have one goal that you know you’ll enjoy doing and it will make going through the other ones more doable.
Now it’s time for me to practice what I post.
