We’re
getting too soft as a culture and that’s what happens. When we get 100 years of
prosperity things become easier and that’s a great thing. It means we become
more educated. Our universities use technology to teach us more efficiently,
more is known about our subject field. But these technological advanced also
breed procrastination. It’s never been so easy to get distracted. We have
screens everywhere, our phones, our laptop, tablets, the TV, video consoles,
which is bad enough as it is. But that, combined with a culture that is getting
too soft, that doesn’t know the meaning of discipline and work ethic. It leads
to even more serious procrastination issues on huge scale. Once you’re focused
with the task on hand, you won’t even think about getting distracted. It’s
being able to fight procrastination and refine your discipline to get the best education
possible.
Just start!!
That’s the
hardest part, just start!
Get in the
zone of studying. Turn your notifications off, turn your tv off, lock your
door, put your headphones on and settle in for a few hours of studying. So,
next time you’re facing a decision where you want instant gratification and you
forget about the long term goal. And you forget about the dreams you have,
that’s when it’s time to get excited. You need to pump yourself up. You need to
remember the reason why you’re doing it. You need to close your eyes and see
what you’re going to be in 10 or 20 years time. You need to smell it and feel
it within you exactly how it will be if you decide to push your work back and
procrastinate. And if you decide to stay focused and stay disciplined and get
the work done. It’s on you!! No one can make that decision for you, burn that
long term dream into your mind. Think about it, talk about it, write about it.
Stick post it notes around your room about it, but most importantly do
something about it.
