Has this ever happened to you, you want to do something, know you should but can’t bring yourself to get up and do it? At that moment you have two choices, you either do, or you don’t. The reasons why we fail on our goals is because we continually make the wrong choice, and over time, those choices compound on each other. Instead of getting up and getting the work done, we fall back to our old habits. Coincidentally, the same moment we need to get to work is when we realize we need to “check something” on Instagram, or that we need to go to YouTube to “bookmark” a video so we can “watch it later”, but end up watching it at the moment (I’m absolutely guilty of this). The story is always the same; what was supposed to be a brief detour turns into several hours of needlessly scrolling through comments, pictures, and catching up on the latest cat videos. There’s an easy fix that will help you get back on track and something I’ve found to help me in the past. The next time you need to get to work, but you feel hesitant and find yourself procrastinating, I want you to stop and ask yourself several questions.
