Trying hard to stay/get motivated
I’m working on a project for my dad, but I’m finding it very difficult to get into it. It’s a BIG project and is really stretching my comfort zone. I’m essentially putting together a 4 day course for him. I did complete the syllabut and send it for approval. Now I have to dig in, create the presentation, develop activities, and integrate material. Oh, and I only have 2.5 days to do it. Why do I procrastinate so much? I think it has to do with fear of failure. (Of course I increase my chances of failing when I procrastinate so much.)
Last week I worked 2 full days for my brother. I took the job even though I knew I had my dad’s work to do. But, my brother’s client pays more so I found it difficult to turn down. But I also lost two full days to work on my dad’s. Seriously, when I’m done here, I have to start working on my dad’s! Really, I must. Ok, here I go. Really, I am…
I, too, am a procrastinator, but I have also found that when I am in a rush, I tend to get some pretty good ideas that I wouldn’t have come across had I done things in a “timely” fashion! I hate that I procrastinate, but I have gotten better about it over the years!
