“Leave it first, lemme rest. I will do it later”
This statement right here really cause more harm than good to me and i also believe it has too to so many other people, I can’t even count how times I have backed out of so many important things because of procrastination, infact not just backing out it has made me loose interest on project I particularly registere for with my money. Early last year I thought to my self why not look for another stream of income just to increase the financial income but like they say “you have to find money with money”.
I got interested about affliate marketing, heard how people were cashing out and the steady payments they received everyday, it was a good idea to invest on since I just have to work from home and with my cell phone, I got talking with a coach online, she was trust worthy, she told me the amount I needed to pay to buy a course that I would study online to know more the job, at the early stage I was so serious about, I was added to her mentorship group, I was given the course to study and I even opened a tiktok page just so that I could get leverages, at a time I posted videos relating to affiliate marketing on the tiktok page and it got alot of views and likes but none was interested whats in for them after video.
From there i took some steps back, I saw the job was really about referring and trying to talk people into buying what you’re selling, procrastination started to hit in, I saw how other people were going with in the mentorship group but I found myself not flowing although I really wanted to flow with them, I started saying in my mind that I would study my courses the next day, and the next became next week and next week bacame next month, many people were cashing out.
I kept on saying that I will create more flyers and awareness videos for my audience on my social media page but of which I didn’t do untill this very moment, telling myself the truth I let in procrastination and it made me wasted my money, I didn’t achieve anything from paying that money to the coach. And right now I still find myself procrastinating thats why most times I try my very best to do task almost immediately if not i will just end postponing it with no specific date and time.
What I try doing now to avoid postponing task is breaking my task into smaller steps, honestly when I see loads of work I usually get tensed and wonder on how I will be able to finish them, so this has helped alot, I also do my very best to eliminate distractions, i get easily distracted when there’s noise or notifications from other apps especially when I work with my phone, so most times I turn of all the apps that could easily get me distracted. I also start with the easiest task and also visualize the end results, I could say that these steps has helped me alot not just on my work online but also in my homely duties.
