Talk less and act more.
Isn't this a popular saying? Well, I have been a culprit in this act. I tend to talk more about what I intend to do than actually doing it and it has cost me so much.
See what happened to me some days ago when I had the feeling that steller lumen XLM will soon be pumped and Cardano with so much publicity will go high, I wanted to buy and make gains from both. I even told other people to buy. But I kept on saying I'll buy mine until the prices got really pumped. Lol! If only I had acted without talking, I would have gotten 3x my investment. That was how Procrastination, talking without acting cost me some cool profit.
Psychologists found out that, when we keep telling other people about what we want to achieve too often, our minds will record the words over time, and it will begin to feel and act like it has achieved that thing. Which in turn will make you feel satisfied and leave you with a lesser drive to work towards bringing it to futility. However, if you keep saying it to yourself, you'll begin to feel the inner urge to make it come to pass.
How to free yourself from this problem
Well after I missed out on profiting from the recent steller lumen XLM and Cardano pump(I do believe Cardano will be good for long-term hodl), I made a vow to stop procrastinating and telling people what I'll do. I have made a decision to always show people what I have achieved and not what I want to achieve. Here are some tips on guidelines I now follow.
- Whenever a thought of something I'll do comes to my mind, I'll write it down immediately.
- I'll not tell anybody about it.
- I'll draft a road-map on how to achieve it
- I'll read it to myself at least three times in a day. Importantly, every morning immediately I wake up and at night before going to sleep.
- I'll give myself a deadline on when I should have gotten it done.
- I'll set out a punishment for myself if eventually, I break any of the rules.
- I'll only tell someone about my plans only if I need assistance from an outside source.
This has helped me achieve a lot in less than 2 days I started it. If you have the same habit of talking more and doing less, you can give it a trial and see if it works for you.
Much love from ogoowinner.

Indeed, our brains are so much activity to process too many activities, but our body doesn’t reciprocate to same velocities, leaving us with so many unfinished agendas.
But discipline is another way to task ourselves to act more than saying.
Thanks @ogoowinner.

This your post reminds me about how i use to over store information on my head, yet i will still want to process everything and achieve everything by just thinking it through, of which have lead to a lot of commotion. But that moment i discover how important it is to not just think about what to do, but also learn to put it down. Immediately i start to put all i want to get done in a sheet of paper or by typing them out, i start giving room for fresh idea and also start getting more done.
@ogoowinner am happy you have share this for the community to learn from you

You are really correct about that, it has happened on so many occasions, rather than telling others, say it to yourself and work at it.
