Mindfulness Daily Check-in February 20, 2018

Ello Lovely Community! Obs feeling to procratinate today. However, practice of mindfulness pushing him to do and so he is here with you all.

He hates when he has something need to do, but don't want to do or not feeling encouraged to do it. Don't you hate it? He knows most of us procrastinate at some point but some of us just find certain obligations as unwanted and try to postpone which result in a downward emotions. So, what to do to beat our procrastination attitude?

And when he asks this question to himself, he finds he need to find out the reasons why he is procrastinating? And, here are some reasons he thinks apply on most of us for procrastinating.

When we know that specific task will require more efforts and energy. Thought of it pushes us to procrastinate the task. Writing a long post, working on presentation are few of the tasks that take good amount of efforts and energy. Due to which we lose the motivation and vision to do the task. And end up delaying it.

"Oh this one, it's so easy. I'll do it later." For many tasks and activities, we think it is so easy for us. Many times, we have so many todo lists that we screen them and pick the one that seems more important over others and after days of doing same with it, we lose motivation to finish these tasks. So, thought of doing later at times end up as doing never.

I want to put more efforts on it. Want to be perfect with my thoughts. And, at times idea of achieveing perfection, we procrastinate stuffs. Like, one of my fellow mate always find my silly grammar mistakes in my posts. They always mention why don't you run Grammarly to fix your silly mistakes and give it a fine look. What if I do so? Probably I would never able to finish one single post because writing has first rule, "Pen Down all thoughts without editing it." Because our mind rushes with so many thoughts simultaneously that if we pause and think to edit, the potential thoughts may fade away from memory. So, its okay to be flawed as long as in every attempt you trying to improve your flaws.

While writing this post, I was unclear about how to get started? And, I think I am not alone who experience this unclarity. We all do. So, better if we use "Get things done" approach to do tasks. When you take this approach, it will allow you to divide a big block of task into small chunks that could allow you to do them easily without experiencing the thought of how and where to get started?

and most importantly, distractions. They always make us delay our tasks due to some or other distractions. Working on a presentation and got a call from a dear friend. Picked call and talked with them for next 30 minutes and the minute call ended, boss called, or meeting time. So, distractions are friends of procrastination. Beat the distraction, procrastination will be defeated. Sounds like a slogan?

We all experience the impact of procrastination in our daily lives and in long run as well. And it brings the significance of being mindful about our needs and priorities.

So, how helpful did you find today's thought?

What are somethings that you procrastinating?

And, what are some other ways to beat our procrastination? Let's share and discuss together!! Yay!

Obs feeling good after getting victory over procrastination now! *** Group Hugs***
