30 Ways to Stop Procrastinating
As a mother and wife, I have to remind myself to do household chores at home and doing a lot of tasks for my two boys and husband. I keep telling myself, “Stay focused on your important plans and tasks with your family, you are a mother and wife.” Unfortunately, my mind has screamed, “Ignore your tasks at home! Ignore your tasks at home!” I sense that my mind attempts to play with me. I do not want to ignore my tasks or other important matters at home and from work.
That is called “Procrastination,” it sounds like not so friendly. Procrastination is very poisonous! I do not have to worry and I am not alone because I trust my Lord, He stays with me all the times. I pray and ask Him for help (Philippians 4:6). Honestly, I always feel so good when Lord is here with me.
Two important things I can do with Christ who strengths me is that I have to stay faithful and I stay focused on my tasks with my teenaged sons, husband, and my loyal clients.
Every day I have seen that many people procrastinate all the times. Everyone in the world is procrastinating because some people does not care what they are supposed to do at home, some people feel down without being encouraged to do something fun, some people think that staying at home alone is no problem at all. Some people staying at home feel like they are lonely. Some people think that working is not so important. Some people complain that working is very boring! Now, what about you? Do you feel guilty when you are not doing your chores at home or avoid spending more time with family (or friends)? No worries, you are not alone. Nobody is so perfect.
Furthermore, I am writing about 30 ways to stop procrastinating. And my husband gave me his ideas, too. How nice! Do you want to stop your procrastination? Ok, let’s grab some ways to stop procrastinating.
