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

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...

Relapse of emotional healing and what to do about it

Emotional healing is the process of acknowledging our childhood wounds, behavior patters and traumas which prevent us from having healthy relationships and living a whole life.We often set up therapy sessions/read self help books/hire an online coach/attend community help healing sessions and the likes to change our patterns and evoke self love.Further, we journal, spend time with nature, meditate and relax to effect faster change. After a while, the changes start to take place.Within 8-12 months, we have undone our patterns, healed our wounds and start to attract healthier relationships.We feel energized, whole and happier.We believe this change is permanent. However, oftentimes during periods of loneliness, trauma or loss, the old patterns crop up.Self love goes out of the window.Neediness, clinging, jealousy, rage, avoidance, emotional dishonesty , witholding love,codependence raise their ugly head.Negative emotions buried deep within raise their ugly head. We relapse into ol...
