MOTIVATIONAL MOMENT - We all have good intentions and desires for our lives. We set goals and even define objectives in order to meet those goals breaking down our big dream into manageable portions. It is human nature to desire to want more out of life than that which we already have and so often we vow to get all that we desire and we even convince ourselves that we deserve it. The reality is we do deserve it, we just have to motivate ourselves to believe in ourselves regardlesss to the surrounding circumstances. Don't let ANYTHING get in your way! YOU CAN DO IT!!!
So all that motivation sounded good huh? Well, let me wipe it right off your face because there is a force at work against motivation and success. One of the things that impedes that progress are four little words: "I'll do it later"! Not only do those words affect us in such a negative fashion, but the reality of frustration works against us to keep us away from our good intentions and desire. These two things working together forces us into a place of inactivity and the forfeiture of success!
Today, I would like to offer three tips to help both you and I to forfeit ill-success and thwart procrastination and frustration out of our lives.
1) KNOW YOURSELF - One must always take into account the effects that procrastination and frustration has on oneself. Not only that, you must consider how they begin to take effect in your life. What type of moods or experiences bring on frustration or your desire to procrastinate?
Having insight into this helps to prevent you from feeling inadequate because you don't have unnecessary concerns on you concerning how you will get something done and you can safely identify behaviors are not conducive to success which will allow you to curb those behaviors in order to continue reaching for your dreams.
2) MANAGE YOUR TIME WISELY - There are not enough hours to go around in a day in order for us to get all that we need done "done"! We must accept that we can only do so much with the time we are given. Adding too much to our plate is not going to help us to become effective and an expert at anything and will force us into mediocrity in all things. In order to alleviate this, we need to learn to create timetables so that we can get done what we need to get done. Whether we work on several projects one day out of the week per project or work on one project until we move on to another: We must learn to be time-management centric. Not only that but we need to also compare our desired time-table to our actual performance. This will help us to plan our time more effectively and give us the ability to plan more effectively in the future.
This will help us to simplify our working patterns and effectively plan our lives. This will also help to improve the quality of our work and will alleviate stress from our lives. This in turn will keep away those feelings of inadequacy which makes us frustrated and leads to procrastination.
3) CHANGE PERSPECTIVES - How we think is so important, it is in our minds that we make up whether something will be successful or unsuccessful. When we consider our assignments and the
things that we put our hands to, we need to consider what brought us to those assignments? Was it money, was it prestige, was it a hand up, was it based on just what we could get at the time, or did it have a soul calling to us? Many times we forget about why we began to do certain things or why we have taken on certain assignments and as such we need to navigate through our thoughts and recall why we began and then reassess whether or not that purpose is still serving us. If it does not, we need to find a way to another project. Also, we need to learn to venture out a little more and consider things that we may have not considered in the past because it was not "interesting" to us. For instance, I had no interest in line dancing and kinda thought it was stupid. One day I went line dancing and had the best time of my life! It was important for me to experience something outside of my immediate interest to find that I have other interests further than even I could consider.
Doing this will help us to identify our personal goals and will improve our relationship with others and with ourselves. Learning how to deal with oneself is the first step in learning how to connect with others who may or may not be like you. Lastly, when we re-think, we remove intimidation and can then focus on what is most important about the assignment that we have taken on!
When all is said and done, we must learn to master certain aspects of ourselves in order to move on and become and remain successful in our lives!
Here's to SUCCESS FOR EVERYONE and being free of procrastination!
