Picture this:

You wake up in the morning without your boss calling you on your phone.

Through the window, you can finally observe the peaceful nature of your neighbourhood…

…And a beautiful sunrise on the horizon

You’ve always wanted to be at peace.

And now that you’re done with your project, you don’t have to listen to the ranting of your boss.

After a hot tea and a cinnamon roll, you take your time to get to your office.

Traffic doesn’t even bother you.

As you get to the office, you see a pile of papers, each with projects you must accomplish.

You smile.

After all, you’re known at your office as someone who finishes their work on time with remarkable quality…

Are you the person I just described?

I don’t think so.

As I’m talking to you, I’m sure you still have piles of unfinished work you must complete.

Am I right?

You clicked on this blog to stop procrastinating and finish what you started. Right?

You want to end your fear that you can never complete what you started.

Well, you clicked right because you’ll learn three ways to accomplish everything you set out to do.

Let’s dive in.

1. Do you ever set goals?

Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into visible. — Tony Robbins.

Ask yourself this?

Do I ever set goals to accomplish my projects?

If the answer is no, then you already know what the first mistake your making is.

Having a clear goal for your project will help you turn it from a wish into a reality.

This is what Tony Robbins means.

You should always set clear goals to complete what you set out to do.

What does this look like in action?

  • If your job is to read other people’s writing,
  • And the paper you’re reading has 120 pages.
  • Set out to read 60 pages per day, and you’ll finish it in 2 days.

When you set a goal, you gain a clear vision of when you want to complete your assignment.

2. Are you a multitasker?

To do two things at once is to do neither. — Publilius Syrus

What if you fear you’ll never finish your task because you multitask?

Multitasking reduces your level of productivity more than focusing on just one task.

According to the American Psychological Association:

Brief mental blocks created by shifting between tasks can cost as much as 40% of productive time.

Multitasking is a hindrance to your ability to complete your job.

For me:

  • Whenever I decide to write.
  • I block anything that will distract me.
  • What is the result? I write, edit, and publish in just 2 hours.

Stop multitasking and focus on one project, and you will see yourself complete it in record time.

3. Are you consistent with your goals?

Don’t wait until tomorrow to do something you can definitely do today. — Benjamin Franklin.

I’ve read of someone who uses procrastination to get things done.

She said it helps her, but what I think is:

  • If you procrastinate, you postpone a task you can easily do now.
  • And you’re lazy.

Always be consistent with your set goals, and don’t procrastinate about getting it done.

Time doesn’t wait for anyone, and…

…Maybe, you’ll never get your project done because you think you have all the time in the world to do it.

Stop waiting and consistently work on your goals, and you will accomplish them.

Accomplishing your tasks is nothing to be afraid of. You only have to:

  • Set clear goals that you can work on
  • Stop multitasking and focus on one task
  • Be consistent with your goals, and avoid procrastination

These are the things you must do to overcome your fear that you’ll never complete your work…

…And always complete every project you set out to do.

You can chart your progress in the comments as a way to inspire those facing similar issues as you.
