How Do You Get out of the Procrastination Land?
I used to live in the procrastination land.
You know the comfortable place with mountains of distraction, Netflix peaks, rivers of excuses, coffee and tea break lakes, social media forests, daydream beaches, the towns of closet re-organisation, nap valleys, sudden urge to do laundry summits, and good intentions never to be translated into action hills.
I bet, you know what I am talking about.
When I worked at the restaurant, often times, long hours, I used to come home exhausted. Well, it was my good excuse not to do what I knew what was important.
It was “impossible” for me to do any kind of thinking work after long shifts of physical work.
The only worse thing than an excuse is a good excuse.
During my days off though, I “had” to go either to the beach or meet up with my friends. So, my biggest excuse was a lack of time.
I used to wake up in the morning and set an intention for the day to be productive, but my procrastination habit with so many distractions would hold me tight in its grip.
I was not fulfilled and miserable, frankly. When I was doing the brain dead work, like carrying trays with dirty plates and talking about the menu specials, I used to despise myself.
