Do you have the bad habit of procrastinating?
Is it hard for you to get focused and stay focused?
You’re not alone!
I SUCK at staying focused. And I suck at getting myself to go and get something started. The procrastination is real over here.
I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD since I was 5 years old. So there’s no surprise when it comes to my lack of focus.
I’ve tried many different ways to get over this. To stop getting distracted every 5 minutes. Over the years I’ve tried many different ways to remedy this issue. A lot of things did not work.
But, just like with any problem there’s always some type of solution. You just gotta look hard enough to find it.
I still struggle with procrastinating and staying focused but here’s some things that helped me out, and made life a little bit easier for me:
🔸Planning out my days in advance. I do a lot of different things throughout the day, every day. Sometimes I have so many, different things that I need to get done that I just end up getting overwhelmed and lost in the sauce. Planning out my days and weeks in advance extremely helped me out. I would write down what I had to do and on which days. Being able to see my schedule would help keep me on track.
🔸Set personal due dates for yourself. Every project has a deadline. Being an entrepreneur, most of the time I get to choose the deadline. I used to never do this. I’d just start things and work on them whenever I wanted. This would end up in me forgetting about it or falling way behind. But, when I set a personal due date I know how much time I have to get something done. This way I’m able to dedicate my time to different projects accordingly.
These are 2 really simple, quick techniques I use to help keep me on track and on time and keep me from procrastinating.
