(VISION) How To Maximise Productivity And Defeat Procrastination


Are you a procrastinator? Do you put things off? Are you willing to leave important tasks to the last minute and substitute them with activities that satisfy your immediate desires?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then perhaps you are aware that feeling like you have failed is a lonely experience, but knowing you could have prevented failure is an entirely different realm of personal pain. But how can you stop  this from happening? Below are my suggestions on how to improve the quality of your time and prioritise your goals over your immediate desires.

Suggestion 1:
Write down your priorities -  The problem with holding things in your head is that they do not exist physically. Writing your aims down is a way of making your goals tangible as well as establishing a structure for your day.

Suggestion 2:
Utilise social media to your advantage!
Sadly, this does not involve posting your favourite selfie with your habitual hashtags - although I am one hundred percent guilty of this (#gainz).
If you follow me on snapchat (lewiswedlock97) then you will know I am a stickler for this. I let my followers know what I am doing so that I hold myself accountable.  I find that when people know what I plan to do then it makes me a lot more motivated to do it.

Suggestion 3:
Make time for yourself
We are social beings, we need some form of contact! So isolating yourself and becoming a recluse at the expense of your long term goals is just as much of a hindrance as procrastination. Strive for  a balance. Set an hour or two a day to do what you enjoy! I find a workout in between my revision sessions resets my mind and motivates me to push on with my tasks.

Suggestion 4:
Set standards and maintain them
Understanding what you are worth and what you are willing to accept is key to any form of success. An expectation I have recently placed on myself is 'nothing less than my best'. Standards are the focal point of any behaviour or decision so consciously becoming aware of these standards may help you make better decisions that have your long term goals in mind.

I hope these suggestions are useful to you. If you have any other suggestions in regards to maximising productivity  then by all means let me know! I will post my social media accounts below.

As always my work is inspired by things that I am currently reading. 'Suggestion 4' is talked about in more detail in Anthony Robbins 'Awaken The Giant Within' - I highly recommend it if you are interested in increasing the quality of every aspect of your life.

(BUSINESS) Launching An Idea Part 3:Branding

We have your driving force, and we have transitioned this nicely into a passionate area. Now ,we can talk about the more exciting stuff – Now we can talk about your branding. Branding is something I think separates you from everybody else in your field – provided it is done right. Strong branding enables a successful idea launch, but ONLY if a driving force and passionate area have been considered too. I like to separate my branding into three areas -   look, feel and message . Your look is quite self explanatory – how are you presenting yourself to your audience ?   If you are launching a blog, what colour schemes does your page utilise? What font are you using for posts? If you are launching a music or vlogging channel, what does your logo look like?   What colours are you choosing to utilise in your videos? Your look is ultimately the first impression you give to your potential audience, so ensure that what you use conveys the first impress...

(EXPERIENCE) A Short Thought On Messing Up

There are one million different things that you could do with your life. Every day adds new pathways and thus new outcomes to your future. The aim is not to focus on all the possible outcomes at once,  but to go with what excites you,  what motivates you - what gives you purpose. With every poor decision you make,  there are hundreds of ways to correct it. Don't focus on what you have done wrong in the past, focus on what you can do right in this moment. You can't be defined on what you have done wrong if you truly know what you've done to make things right this time. Fuck everybody else and their opinions. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you for taking the time to read this post. I hope that it helps you in some way. I would love to connect with you on social media.
