Are you someone who easily gets weary of working on something?

You’re fond of running over different tasks at a time, and eventually, ending up doing nothing?

Do you always leave tasks unfinished and incomplete?

Do you think it’s just you?

Ha! You’re not alone.

There are many of us out there.

I used to be lousy at doing one thing at a time.

Yes, I’d run away the moment I feel drawn to something else.

That something else is pleasure, many times.

I hear it call out to me, urging me to come.

And, guess what? I always listen.

Do you know what’s worse than listening?

The way I always feel terrible when I realize the day is over and I’ve not accomplished anything realistic.

I look at my desk and I see files piled all over the desk, with some even spilling over.

How do I feel? Sad.

I’m sure many are like me, and many would love to know the way I’ve gotten over this.

In this article, I’ll show you:

Let’s dive in!

OUTLINE 1:
PROCRASTINATION AND PRODUCTIVITY
Procrastination is simply the action of delaying or postponing something, while productivity is the state or quality of being productive.

You might be wondering, what is the relationship between procrastination and productivity, and why are they placed side by side?

Procrastination and Productivity are opposites and the only thing that looks the same about them is the first three letters of both words. They both start with a ‘pro.’

That being said, with procrastination in the picture, productivity cannot be achieved.

The only way productivity can be achieved is if procrastination is kicked out of the way.

These words have been placed side by side, so you can see the need to choose one out of the two.

And to choose fast!
