As mentionned here, procrastination was my middle name today and it is not fun when it happens. I’m currently stuck between no 3 and no 4, getting ready to jump to no 6. Normally, when one of these days happens,I try to take it easy…They usually last a day or two max so I normally give up fighting it and a) stuff my face with a large pack of M&Ms (that’s where the missing 20% of my clean eating goes), b) retreat to my bedroom to watch Netflix until I fall asleep.
However, today I had some deadlines so I couldn’t afford to take the day off and had to press on. Consequently, I spent the day working, thinking no 2, working, thinking no 3, working…and hoping that at some point I end up on no 5 and ultimately no 1.
I’m not even there yet but I also know that I’m really tired from the show and while I know how to sleep well at night, I have been spending far too much time on my laptop since I arrived in London. It’s always the case when I’m alone. I tend to spend a stupid amount of time on the laptop whereas I give myself a cut-off time when Mila is around and I don’t know about you but when I’m tired, I’m really really negative towards myself, like I can’t do anything right to have a positive opinion of my work.
So tonight, I’m trying something new, two things actually: I’m off to the hairdresser for a blow-dry to pick myself up and then I’m having diner with a friend I haven’t seen for ages and while we are both tired, I’m sure it will be a great night.
What are your tips? What are you doing when Proscratination hits you and you feel like you’re useless?
Aw bless you..I hope you’re feeling more positive and you’ve had a good evening, I wish I dint procrastinate so much.. Being at the start of a new business at the age of 42 I quite often wonder what the *** am I doing!? Xx
I feel a lot more positive after a glass of vino hahaha. What business are you starting Lisa??
hi, we all know that feeling….. hope today is a better day and the evening with your friend helped. Sometimes, I find it’s the distraction and just getting away and into a different space that helps me. I find I often get like that when I’m trying to do too many things and get too tired, I can’t see the wood for the trees! x
Hi Lorraine thanks for your comment. It’s a pain when it happens doesn’t it!?
Gosh, i have days like this, the other night i got in from work and just couldnt ‘order’ my brain. So i did a Headspace…..i love this app, it helped me see what i needed to achieve and in which order but also it reenergises me!
I cant believe the effect it has on me, just helps me to ‘centre’. Give it a try :-) Xx
Have a wonderful weekend!!
Thanks! My sister mentioned it to me and I actually downloaded the app a while back but never used it to be honest. Will give it a go
