Where are you headed?

I've been thinking too much.

Help me!

These days I lose my focus and sense of direction. There's a lot going on my mind from what's my true purpose down to where I should start. As I start to gather my thoughts at once, slowly they break apart and falls of my brain.

Sometimes I'm too lazy to go in the process that I would immediately want to skip and have the result. Have you also tried that? Like it doesn't matter to you anymore how you accomplish something. You just want it to be done.

Then I realized these are the products of procrastination. Why do we procastinate? Here are the possible answers:

  • Low self-efficacy

This is how we poorly overcome to given situations. There are times when going gets tough yet we are afraid of it so we end up not doing anything. We tend to see difficult tasks as threats that we must not face. Because of this, we cannot set our goals and if we happen to have one, we have low level of commitment on it. As a result, in case of any setbacks, we tend to give up quickly.

  • distraction

Distractions are everywhere we go may it be outside or inside our vicinity. There are many forms of distractions that can hinder your thinking. Some of it are noise from surroundings, toxic people and something it's the social media. I remember one time when I was not so active here in read.cash, I planned to write an article. But, social media hinder me from doing it. Instead of writing and making my mind work creatively, I kept on scrolling until I fell asleep. In short, I did not make use of my time in a productive way. There are a lot of distractions anyway. What I wrote here are just the things I consider that distract me.

  • a long delay between task onset and completion.

How much time do you spend in order to make decision to finish something? If it's taking you long, then that might be a delay between task onset. We spend much time thinking if we can do it or not rather than starting to do it. As a result, of course we cannot finish something that is supposed to be done within that day. This is what happened when I was in college. We were making a research paper back then. Instead of making the rationale, we just kept on talking because we feel this is too hard for us to do. In short, we cannot make it through the given time. Consequently, there was really a delay in the process of doing our research paper.

  • not setting goals

I believe this is my main problem. I lack goals in life. I feel like I don't have any motivation that's why I just settle to being unproductive. Well, not until my friends encourage me especially my friends here in read.cash, the help me a lot in order to have my drive to write which has been long gone. I am writing this article because I was inspired by one of my friends here, @Sequoia . She wrote about the goals that she wants to target in order to be on track. After reading her writing, I realized the reason why I lose focus. It's because I don't have any goals that are fixed and set for me to follow.

Kaya tuloy napapariwara. 😅

With that being said, I decided to list all my goals so I would not deviate from my path. Here are they:

  1. Wake up at 7 am

I really have a hard time waking up early so I write this for me to do my best and cooperate with my alarm clock. They said "Early bird catches worm." We should wake up early so we can also start what needs to be done.

  1. Write an article in read.cash each day

Omg I feel like I can't make it today since it's late night. It's 23:06 in the evening and I need to publish my article before 24:00. (Sad to say, I didn't make it. Our internet was down since 23:00) But writing an article everyday is my goal now so I need to think and type. Lol. This is what I get from not waking up early and not starting to write when I had free time.

  1. Make more friends in the platform

The more, the merrier. Who doesn't want that?

  1. Be interactive and give quality content/comments.

This is very important and this is one of the things I learned from the articles I read. For us to be noticed by Rusty, we need to be visible, we need to be interactive. Gladly, I was able to do it, (I guess so 🤣) and I'm so happy my articles are noticed by @TheRandomRewarder

I am really grateful and overwhelmed. I also need to give comments that are of quality because before, I used to comment this way like I just wrote there -- Nice, wow, absolutely, thank you so much for this, I learned a lot and etc.. But now, I am making it a goal to give comments that are suit and related to the articles.

  1. Always have the "I am the best" attitude.

    This is from @Eunoia taken from his recent article. Sorry if I use this line. 😅 This is really what suits my last goal. I should, or we should be positive towards the work we do. What our minds think is also what we attract.

CLOSING

These goals written are only some of what I want to achieve. I believe we should take things one at a time in order to achieve desired results. As for me, now that I have my goals, I should focus on them to avoid overthinking. Before I end this, I want to leave the main gist of this article.

Never have lack of goals. Persistence makes all the difference.

How about you where are you headed?

Hey! Thank you for reading and giving me some time. You can drop some comments and talk a bit. ☺️

I was feeling demotivated for last 3 days and didn't wrote an article. Then I realized about "why I started it at the first?" This thing made me motivated and I wrote about my special day, today.

I love the goals you have listed and I must tell you, one needs discipline and commitment to keep it going. I always prepare my article in the night and I post mostly at 7:20am or so and I keep up with visiting posts and giving Quality comments. I love to make friends and here I am doing what I need to do. Keep it up my friend.

We should be decipline in our lives in order to achieved our goal. We will keep pushing ourselves if we want to improved, sometimes our mind don't want to work, and also the peer pressure of our friends that keeps us think negative. Remember if we will have the success they will follow, so always this possitve be true to yourself and be confident about it, you will have great harvest one day.

Yeeey! So glad that you've also created your goals. Setting up our goals really brings different boost in our confidence and determination. Before, I am also the type of person who doesn't care about goals. But, as the time passes by, I have realized the importance of having a goal. It will make us motivated even if no one appreaciates.

Goals are great , lists people can waste alot of time doing lists. Learn to multitask. Yes this is a writing site, but still social media so engage, it is surprising how many people I read and support , but they don't engage, so I go elsewhere , engagement is key to anything. Don't be so hard on yourself, goals change, and where is your most important one . Make yourself happy first. Trying to start a few articles when you think of topics. You can finish later,.that may be easier if you really want to do one a day.
