Are you someone who easily gets weary of working on something?
Youβre 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 itβs just you?
Ha! Youβre not alone.
There are many of us out there.
I used to be lousy at doing one thing at a time.
Yes, Iβd 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 whatβs worse than listening?
The way I always feel terrible when I realize the day is over and Iβve 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.
Iβm sure many are like me, and many would love to know the way Iβve gotten over this.

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 βpro.β
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!

How do we get past this?
Procrastination stands like a soldier in front of us, daring us to move on.
And many times, we are bound by free, looking for ways out but not knowing where to search.
There are a lot of ways to get past procrastination, but in this post, I have only provided five of them.
β Fix your motivation, why do you do the things you do?
β Join accountability groups or get an accountability partner, be real and open with the person.
β Work on your hardest tasks first, when you feel energetic, ready, and motivated.
β Create realistic to-do lists and stick to them.
β Create time-bound goals for yourself, pursue to achieve them, and give yourself rewards when you do.
I believe that, right now, you are ready to deal with procrastination and win this battle.
Your walk of freedom is waiting for you.
Jump on it!
