(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.

Hey Guys! The 'Expand Your Framework' podcast  is back and in this episode we will be discussing why clarity of vision and purpose are so important to achieving your goals.  You can listen to and download the episode here. Below you will find a summary of the episode if you are hard of hearing/deaf or prefer to write things down. The importance of CLARITY If your vision of success is not clear, then how can you expect to achieve your goals? Unfortunately, in order to achieve clarity of vision EXTENSIVE PLANNING IS KEY. If you aren't prepared to plan your moves, your chances of success are SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED. *Some ways to plan in regards to goal setting - ask yourself 'what do I want to achieve?' , 'how am I going to do this?' , 'what obstacles are going to potentially stop me from achieving my goals?' and 'how can I overcome this obstacles?'.

(BUSINESS)The Creatives Guide To Starting An Idea

Access to a multitude of different digital platforms floods our heads with creative ideas or desires to fulfil. A lot of us do not fulfil these desires because we simply do not know how to begin the journey of converting an idea into a creative pursuit. This article is designed to do just that. Below is a sequence that I like to use to help this conversion process. Step 1: Find a 'Why' As with anything in life, identifying a reason as to why you want to begin on this journey serves as the foundation of your creative pursuit. This is what will keep you accountable during any struggles you may encounter as well as provide inspiration for why you want to begin a said pursuit. For some, their creative pursuit may serve as a way of challenging the powerful, for others their creation may serve as a vessel to explore and display their creativity free of any third party input. Whatever your 'why' is, identifying it and becoming conscious of this desire is the foundation o...
