Stop Hesitating and Just Get Started

Don’t let procrastination win this time.

I’ve been sat here for well over an hour trying to get started.

In front of me, I have chosen three different headlines from my drafts list that I’d like to expand on but I can’t seem to get started on any of them.

Each time I decide to get started on one something else pops into my head and I do that instead.

I’ve cleared my emails inbox, read and clapped numerous articles on here, written some weekly goals and tasks into my diary.

Done everything except for getting bloody started on the thing that I originally set out to do.

The Life of a Procrastinator

Fortunately, this turn of events isn’t a strange experience for me — and I doubt it’s a new phenomenon to you either.

In fact, it seems that it’s become a regular occurrence, creeping up on me from time to time as I go about daily routines.

From the moment I open my eyes in the morning, procrastination is by my side.

Some mornings when I wake up, I don’t immediately spring out of bed.
