The more I over-commit myself and take on too many things the more I seem to procrastinate. Making myself get things done lately is like pulling teeth, even though I like some of the things I am doing. But today, after reading Leo Babauta’s post “The Do Plan, or Why We Know But Don’t Do,” it’s time to stop letting myself avoid and start doing.
So instead of knitting the scarf for myself (more on that soon), reading a book, or wasting time online I will turn off the distractions and work for two hours. No excuses, no distractions, just me and my to do list for two hours.
I am just going to focus on being productive for two hours and see what I can get done instead of being task oriented and doing everything I can to finish that one thing. It’s time for some self-discipline and much needed productivity.
