⏺What's stopping you from being productive?

I have been struggling these last few days with being productive. About 2 weeks ago I made it a goal of mine to do at least 100 posts (engagements) per day. I have been able to do it most days. The issue I have been having is the fact that it takes so much of my time to get it done.

You need to rise above your circumstances (Hence the picture lol).

I was really struggling in the last week. I was seeing my results and numbers degrade, slowly but surely. I had to change something.

Well, I only really changed one thing. That one thing is focus.

The problem most people have when trying to get things done, is they try and trick themselves into thinking they're doing work, when they are actually not doing much. You can tell yourself anything you want to make yourself feel better, but if you look at what you are really doing, and it's not serving you, then you're only fooling yourself!

Yes. Focus. Let me explain.

See, success doesn't care about the details of what's going on in your life. It doesn't take into consideration that you might've slept-in later, or that you broke your arm, or that you are broke.. It doesn't have feelings. The sooner you realize this, the sooner you will get to work.

The only thing that will get you results, is taking focused action. What do I mean?

Well, we tend to justify our situations. We tell ourselves we are working hard, grinding, 'putting in the hours', but are we really? The key to productivity is throwing away your distractions. You need to take specific intervals in your day, and completely, 100% focus on just the task at hand.

See, I was telling myself I was 'putting in the hours', which I was. The problem was that I was so distracted with other smaller things, that I could never get anything done. Then time just passes by, and a few hours later, you realize how much time has gone by, and you are still at the point where you started. You need to focus.

Look at it this way.

Whether you take focused action or do things slowly and distracted, life does not care.

The only difference between the two.. Focused action will get the task done far quicker, leaving you with plenty more time to get other things done. The other way will take much longer, getting much less done, and you will take that attitude into anything you do.

The key is to stop thinking so much, and just get straight into it. Life doesn't care about how long it takes you to prepare to get started. The only thing that matters is the end result!

If you wake up in the morning, take 20 minutes to fully wake up, then take a shower, then make yourself a cup of coffee, then take your time to drink it.. You quite possibly have just lost an entire hour. If you are fine with it, then be my guessed! :)

This however, compared to waking up and getting straight into things, there will be a big difference in the final result. Now, this isn't the best example, I realize that, but it's the principal that life does not care about what you think.

It's quite simple. Put in the real work, and get the real results.

More than how much this post can make, I care far more about getting my content in front of newer faces. So if you would like to show your appreciation, it would be awesome of you to resteem this, and share it with others!

I am trying my best to make 2 high quality blog posts per day. So stay tuned! Talk soon guys.
