I will Publish it Tomorrow
1. Get a haircut.
"I will do it tomorrow"'
2. Write an article.
" I will do it tomorrow"
3. Get serious in life.
" I will do it tomorrow" ( Really???)
For most of us( not all, of course), this is the basic structure of how we plan on doing things. Which, is fine to the point that we can't just do everything in one day, but things go wrong when we put that "everything" on to the next day, and the next and so on, without setting any kind of realistic and achievable goals to finish it.
We keep convincing our mind that we still have got time until, we don't. For instance, as the school starts, everyone plans on studying from the day ONE( and on daily basis), but, when it starts, most of us abandon this idea( of studying daily) in two ways.
1. Complete Lockdown:
By saying, There is a lot of time, I can cover everything in the last month or two( or if not being specific to school only, " in No Time").
Or
2. Slow Poison:
By saying, I will start tomorrow( it's only the first day).
And then, eventually the "first day" becomes "first week", then "first month" up to the point where, again, we end up having two outcomes:
1. Either, we get serious but, till then it's too late already.
OR,
2. (In case we still have time, but we get depressed) By saying , if I couldn't do it in a year, how can I do that in a month or so ( " year" used specifically for the school example).
And that's how the loop goes on.
Now, that we have seen how it ends, The question arises
Q: What can you do to fix this then?
Ans: And the answer is that there is no other solution to this then to have a strong "Willpower". Your willpower is your ability to convince yourself into doing something which you won't be doing in normal routine( the definition got a bit weird, but you get the point. Right?).
The only way you can keep yourself from putting things on the never-coming "tomorrow" is by using your willpower to not to put them on tomorrow and do it today.
Once you have mastered your willpower, then, you can make things easier by:
1. Setting up daily goals and achievements
2. Never giving up unless you have reached your daily goal. ( Yeah, I'm serious. Mostly setting goals gives us the impression that we are done. But, never giving up on those goals is also important)
and other things like that. But, remember, Willpower is the key. If you don't have enough willpower, then above things like setting up goals etc won't do you any good, In fact, they would also fall into that blackhole of doom, the never-ending loop of "tomorrow" ( I know this terminology sounds like some fiction story going on, but, that's just to give you the idea of the intensity of the situation).
Another question that arises only in some curious minds( by saying curious, I mean those who still have at least a part of their mind working) is:
Why this happens? Why do we do that.
Ans: The answer to this question is surprisingly easy.
"It's human nature to quit whenever achieving something becomes
challenging( unless he is determined)"
And the second part " Why do we do that?"
Ans: Well, it's has the same answer as the above, In fact, I should have copypasted it. Anyway, the reason we do that is due to our "Nature". Because, it's easy to change habits, easy to get rid of addiction, but changing "Nature", it's challenging; and mostly impossible, as they say,
" You can't change human nature"
The question that whether the above "saying" is right or not isn't today's topic so we will discuss it in future somewhere. As for now, Have a nice day.
Thanks for being here. ( and yeah, if you made it to the end of this article, trust me, you already have got strong "willpower", just need some work. GoodLuck with that.
