Smashing procrastination and laziness



We often observe that we make grand plans for our work,health and fitness, financial growth,career growth etc and set lofty goals but are not able to reach them even halfway.We feel lazy, procrastinate and leave things we start midway.Sometimes we don’t even reach 25% of our predetermined goal.This pattern repeats itself each time.We are unable to break free.We desire to succeed and achieve but are not able to break the rut.


What then is the way out?
The main reason we procrastinate and do not push ourselves to finish the set task is that there is no sense of urgency .We know there will always be a tomorrow.And the next one.We do not realize that in the process of this shift to tomorrows, we have wasted years.For some of us more than half of our life is already over and our achievement quotient is not even 5% of what we would like for it to be.If our roof broke in the rains we would fix it immediately.Similarly if we fractured our hand we would attend to it immediately because the stakes of delaying these tasks are colossal.

Thus, the only way out is to develop a sense of burning urgency for our goals and then smash the laziness and procrastination with hammers of discipline and rigorous work.

Steps to discipline and goal achievement
1.Set  a series of tiny realistic goals
2.Start upto 3 projects at a time and push yourself daily to work on each for a while
3.Delete the possibility of failure.You will stay at it till you finish it successfully.
4.Keep a journal of the time you spend procrastinating Vs performing
5.Reward self for tiny achievements continuously.
6.Raise the bar of goals weekly

This fear is actually a fear of rejection .Due to this fear the individual gives too much in the early phases of the relationship so that they can please their partner and to ensure their partner likes them.They take responsibility for their partners feelings and want to make sure the partner stays happy and does not reject them.But this too much giving from the fear of rejection makes them feel trapped. The solution to this is to develop stronger boundaries, not take rejection personally and religiously practice inner bonding to develop a very strong sense of adult self.

Insecure Boss Syndrome and how to deal

Hello everybody, This is my first post today and I thought i'd start with a super-common yet extremely important topic-an asshole /insecure boss . We spend a large part of our lives at the workplace and are often plagued with horrible managers.Also, it is extremely unfortunate that we do not choose our managers but they are assigned to us. A good manager can lead to motivation, growth, skill improvement and promotions while a bad one can create unhappiness, tears, emotional pain, anger and frustration. Lets first delve into the characterstics of an insecure manager: Micromanages Does not trust you Does not stand up for employees in front of clients Is overtly critical Requires updates every 5 minutes Cannot appreciate good work Feels threatened by employees who are better than him Creates and fuels team politics Plays favorites Openly insults employees Uses control as a means to feel secure Creates artificial sense of urgency Is never at peace The most im
