Good Day Everyone, Welcome to My Blog❤️😎,
The Month of January always signify a fresh beginning, fresh beginning of the year, fresh start of a yearly goal, Or Continuation of the Goals Or Projects unfinished.
Whatever the month stands for or Means to you, there is definitely something you get started with.
Last year was a Year i had a lot of things planned out in the beginning of the year, but i couldn't achieve most of all my goals.
Many will be thinking that i probably didn't plan out all am to achieve well but the truth is that I really planned, i made my designs and mapped out how each goals would be achieved, but just one big But, i procrastinate a lot. I save the things am to do now for later, i always want to do things in a convenient time, or Perfect time or probably i was just too lazy to get started. Whatever my Reasons are, it all boils down to one thing: i couldn't do whatever i was to do, because I failed to start on time.
I remembered last year, i planned to Extend my Head Office and Add some other businesses with it, i keep postponing the time to do that, even with the money available and the resources to get started. The result of the procrastination is that i ended not doing anything, in fact all the materials i brought to start the project, like wires, socket, smartphone chargers , desktop chargers and cement were used for other things.
I bought a piano and guitar last year for practice, i even purchased a battery (Rechargeable one) for the piano. I procrastinated all year long, i even had someone that can teach me, and give me free lessons, He was a corper, i keep postponing the time for our practice till he left for Travel back to his State it's Quite Disappointing.
There is a quote that says that "procrastination is a thief of time" . This saying is very True.
If there is anything I want to give up this Year: It would be quiting Procrastination
Procrastination have caused me too many harm, am quiting it for good this year. Last year was a year that was pregnant with a lot of goals to be delivered lol, i had a lot of goals and i have planned ou how to accomplish them, but i keep procrastinating. For this reason during me End of the Year review last month, i came to the conclusion that I need to take strategic actions and plans on never to procrastinate. In fact for this year my Slogan is "Just do it" whatever the case or course of action, i will just get started first.
I would be using Mark Twain's "Eat the Frog" method of Stopping procrastination. In this method, you are priotize your goals and start the most important task first, then the other tast follows. You should always break your task in to bits especially if the Task takes a lot of time to finish.
What are the steps i take to ensure i never procrastinate in the Future
I plan to make it an habit to always get started on any task i am to do. There is no more room for perfect time or every resources should be available first, i will make it an habit to start with whatever resources or time available to do the task.
I plan to use the Mark Twain's "Eat the frog Method" this is a method of getting the most important things first and then doing the other tasks afterwards.
