No. No, I can’t do anything
We should not procrastinate, huh… Is it this that much easy?
Only a procrastinator knows what procrastination is and how much it costs. No one else can even imagine. I am a procrastinator and at the same time I hate procrastination. Every time when I hardly meet a deadline and get my work done, I promise myself that next time I will do all my stuff prior to deadline to avoid this extreme stress condition but I end up repeating this routine over and over again no matter how hard I try.
But now it’s time to change, nothing is impossible even the word impossible itself says I’m possible. Yes I can do it. Feeling highly motivated I planned to eradicate this habit from my life. In this attempt I
read some articles online about procrastination and so much stuff about it, watched some related videos on YouTube, some very effective ways to deal with procrastination, watched almost 3 videos, came to know about Pomodoro’s technique and I decided to implement it on me, meanwhile I saw in my suggestion videos, there was a trailer of Mummy, I felt a strong urge to watch it as for past 2 hours I was concentrating on figuring out ways to deal with procrastination and now, I deserve a period of relaxation. So I played it, it was 3 minutes trailer, there was another very eye catching trailer of wonder woman (by the way it is a nice movie, must watch it) then I watched Wonder Women thinking movies too have a lesson to teach you and I ended up wasting my 3 hours after which I thought I will implement this Pomodoro’s technique after 2 hours. Currently I am hungry and must eat something. After having a dinner I felt so full that I realized that my day is almost over I should start implementing this technique from tomorrow.
The very next day with 100 % motivation level, I sat away from all the distractions and started working with 25 minutes timer, after 25 minutes I felt really accomplished, took 5 minutes nap then I again set timer for further 25 minutes and cope with that too, successfully. Now 1 hour was over and I was overwhelmed with joy and feeling of satisfaction. Now I was feeling a strong urge to go out of the room to check whether everything is okay or not and thought, I will also eat something and will also have a nap and with 50+ justifications I left the room with a promise that in maximum 20 minutes I’ll be back and what happened next. I came after four hours and thought I will implement this technique from tomorrow onwards. I tried today but will do it from tomorrow with full professional attitude and the very next day with 110 % motivation level I was only able to sit for 150 minutes only for my work. With passing days, my motivation level was falling and I was perceiving it as my failure, but I thought to try it at least for a week
Believe me at the end of the week I found myself working 6 hours a day with full dedication, just a week back if someone had said this to me, I would rather considered it impractical but now I did it. I learned that failure in actual does not exist. It is only when you perceive that you cannot do something, you give up always say to yourself just one more TRY.
