Happy new month everyone.. I'm very excited about this month because it's my birth month, yay!!! And it's also a new phase for us all after the hardfork, we can see that everything is going back to normal..

So I have a new month resolution, I realised that I have developed a really bad attitude that can ruin my life, Procrastination.. We all know that procrastination is to career what cancer is to the health and I don't know how I ended up with this. I guess it's just part of life's challenges. So as usual, I ran to my internet best friend, Google, to find out ways I can get rid of this enemy before it gets rid of me. I saw some interesting ideas and I'll like to share it with you guys, just incase someone is have the same troubles with me.

Procrastination are majorly caused by laziness, distraction and fear of not getting things right. You have to find out what's causing yours, in my own case it's distraction by Instagram. Take your mind off the causes and focus on what will happen if you don't take that action, focus on what you will lose and let that motivate you to get up..

The truth that task has to be done, you still have to write that post.. No matter how long you keep pushing the date or the appointment, it will eventually happen, you can't escape it. So let's do this already and get over with it.

Sometimes we procrastinate because we are afraid of the challenges that comes with the tasks, so we have to embrace the fact that we are not perfect, we will make mistakes and procrastination won't take the mistakes away, so get to work..

Devise means to make your work fun. For me, once I start playing my playlist I can get anything done. Discover what works for you and make your work passionate cos you can only procrastinate if your work is boring..

Finally shut down that distraction. When that Facebook and Instagram notification pops up, make a conscious decision to ignore. You can uninstall the app, if you can't ignore it.. Atleast till you get your feet back.

So what are you waiting for? Get to work!!!..

I hope this is as helpful to you as it is to me..

Have a wonderful month..

Procrastination, they say is the thief of time
. Only few of the many people who have this habit would admit to it. I admire the fact that you admitted to this and in fact have decided to share with us, so that we also could avoid it. I would like to say I have also let this terrible habit deny me of some things, but gladly I was quick to retrace my steps. Than you once again @nmalove for sharing.

And... Happy birth month.
