(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.

What Is Masculinity?

It has recently become an interest of mine to explore the question “what is masculinity?”. Masculinity has long been associated with power, dominance, and authority but often, these components are in reference to   particular groups of people. Generally speaking, the most common form of masculinity is embodied by white, middle class and usually heterosexual men. This is sometimes referred to as "hegemonic" masculinity (although the term and it's ideas are  a lot more complex once you read further in to it).  There are however many other forms of masculinity that identifying men use to express themselves. Mas culinity, like most forms of social identity is  performative – this means that as men we perform masculinity in reference to what we think best embodies or defines the term. So to clarify, whilst hegemonic is largely viewed as the dominant form of masculinity, it is not the only form that exists.  Often though, men try to emulate dominant i...
