A Story On How I Beat Procrastination.
Never feel guilty again...
☎️ It all started when I got a call 4 years ago…
I knew him from my childhood - we were best friends.
He asked me if he could come to visit me this Wednesday for 3 days. I was really happy when he called - so I said: “Yes, of course!”.
It was Tuesday at that time.
Little did I know that one day later my university would give me the biggest assignment in the history of mechanical engineering.
DUE ON FRIDAY.
I had so much pressure,
I could barely think straight
I was a bit confused about how to manage all of this work and get it done BEFORE my friend would come.
I had LESS THAN 24 HOURS for this massive assignment!
I sat down straight away.
Looking back, I mainly did it out of fear of failing my assignment and also
I didn’t want to let down my friend.
Don’t ask me how I did it but I managed to pull it off. I had an amazing time with my friend and even got a B+ on the assignment.
🤔 But how did I do it?
As you can see: procrastination was not even remotely something I thought about in those 24 hours.
And it is BECAUSE I CARED.
I cared enough about my friend and my exam to get both things right. And this is what led me on that journey.
As the sun rose, I realized that I had done it - the assignment was COMPLETE!
It was a moment of triumph, like a marathon runner crossing the finish line.
When my friend arrived, I was ecstatic but exhausted. He looked at me and said, “You look like you’ve just fought a dragon!” We both laughed.
That experience taught me an important lesson:
The power of care and commitment.
I cared about my friend and my studies, and that pushed me BEYOND what I thought was possible.
✨What I Learned and
Maybe You Can Too!
“Procrastination isn’t always about laziness. Sometimes it's about not caring enough.”
When you truly care about something, you find the energy and will to tackle it head-on.
Whether it's a project, your studies, or spending time with loved ones: find the element of care. Try it & believe in yourself!
See you next Friday!
Cheers.
What is my goal?
Saving you time with proven techniques.
