Hi beauts,
To be completely honest I'm struggling to write this post, mainly because I'm in a lazy mood and would rather watch The Real Housewives of Vancouver!
Why is it that we deeply want all the riches and success but we're too lazy to do the hard work to reach our goals!
While trying to develop Miss Simone I constantly find myself saying "I'll do it later" or "I'll do it on the weekend" but when it comes to later or the weekend I suddenly find an unimportant task to fulfill instead!
Personally I try to battle my habit of procrastinating by reminding myself of how good it feels to have a productive day and how crappy it feels when you get in bed at night and realise you achieved nothing you wanted to!
As they say "You get back what you put in!"Daily I vision my dreams and what Miss Simone can someday become and that fuels my drive towards my ambition.
(I stopped for about 10 minutes because I got distracted by the TV!!! Aaaargh!)
Ok...I'm back!
I searched the internet for some tips on how to stop procrastinating:
- Make a list! - I have a white board and notebook and I find writing my goals down and always reading them back to myself helps my drive to complete them.
- Create a work schedule - This one applies to young entrepreneurs like myself. I haven't attempted this yet but I will schedule days and time solely for Miss Simone. This will ensure I don't over/under work and will allow me to concentrate and work efficiently! (I'll let you know how this goes!)
- Remove distractions! - This is my main problem! I tend to work in front of the TV - big distraction! - so I either need to find a quiet room or go to a cafe or the library.
- Laugh in the face of fear! - One thing that always plays on my mind is "will I completely fail?!" This fear stops me from grabbing the bull by the horns. Fear/nerves is a natural feeling for something you care about and have passion for, so don't let it stop your progression!
- Get a buddy - I've read that getting a 'business buddy' is a great way to have someone to relate to, attend events with and help motivate each other.
Until next time,
xoxo
