In my journal the other day, I was writing about how I wage actual wars with procrastination. It’s because when I’m given two days to complete a task that I know will take me 2 hours, I wait until I have 3 hours to the deadline before I start working on it. Terrible habit, I know.

However what I adopted is using a timer. I set a timer for the amount of time I think it will take me to complete the task and just start working. If I’m lucky and it flows, I’ll finish my work with time left on the timer. If I’m unlucky, I’ll get distracted and trail off in a few minutes.

Another thing I like doing (and I hope I can automate someday) is time blocking. I love seeing how I intend to use my time on a calendar and I love when it plays out in that exact order. As the oldest daughter of my family, i have to plan my time around other people’s schedules and lives so this doesn’t happen often.

Discipline also plays a huge part in it too.

My comment is becoming an article on its own so I’m ending this here😂

Good luck with whatever you’re doing this week💕✨
