Is There A Problem?

I've learned that if you let it, life will get in the way of your reaching your goals. In my case, it's been going on for almost three months, and there is still more to come.

Visiting family, friends, having family and friends come to visit you, illness, computer problems, issues with the residence, repairs, waiting in line places, and more take away from the time needed to work on business.

Is There A Solution?

Sure there is. It's called planning and prioritizing. We all know that, but some of us are better at it than others. Or maybe I should say that some of you are better at it than I am.

For me, it's easier to tell myself that I'll wait till the distraction(s) has moved on and then I'll get back to work when I can focus.

Problem is, it's easy to fall into a pattern of "I'll get back to it tomorrow." Tomorrow never comes.

All we have is today. RECOMMIT yourself to reaching your goals. The only time we can work is in the present, so we might as well DO IT!

I''m talking to myself here more than anyone else.

Let's Do This Thing!

Thanks for reading.

I'm Grant

Good post, Grant. I happens to all of us from time to time :-)

Wayne

Yes. Life will keep happening to us until we decide to take charge and direct our lives.

Yes, I have this same issue and your pep talk was useful. I have school starting here next week, which for most means the kids are gone and more free time. For me as a homeschooler that means way less time. That's not going to change and I need to figure out how to fit this into the schedule on a regular basis. Thanks!

You’re welcome. Sounds like you are super busy. Just keep your priorities straight and do your best. :-)

You are right Grant. We need to plan what we are going to do while allowing for life to get in the way.

Derek

Thanks, Derek

Good Morning Grant,

This "manana" attitude, putting off till tomorrow what one should actually be doing today is an illness we all suffer now and then.
Do not be too hard on yourself it sometimes happens certain things need to be done first. I see it with myself how stressed I sometimes get when I have not done all the things that were on my list for the day. In summer time there is a lot of garden work and also more socializing and outings than in the winter.

Greetings from the south of Spain, Taetske

Thanks for the uplift!

There's a workable shortcut over most any detour

Just gotta find it, right?

Hi Grant...there is a saying that we teach what we need to learn. At least you recognize the problem and can correct it. You will.
Debbie

Thank you, Debbie.

Ok Grant... pull your socks up and get back on that horse! you can do it through discipline and will power by friend. It all start with just one article... and then a few comments.... and then the snow ball of momentum will kick in for you I'm sure.

I’m glad you said socks. Sounds better than big boy pants. :-)

Hey Grant we all have the I’ll get done later bug at times. Elaine and I just set goals the other day. She does certain things
everyday and I do certain things.
But , occasionally life does interrupts us and we start off again a new day dawning. So keep going.
Blessings

Thanks, Scarlett. We only fail when we quit.

You are absolutely. Right now we life to fight another day. Lol

I’m with you!

I agree for sure this includes many people… I am one as well. The disease is called excuse -itis. But like you said when we bite the bullet and at least dedicate 30 minutes even if it’s 15 minutes a day until you reach up to that one hour to two hours a day. Keep at it until it is an automatic habit. You will not always have the passion so you have to override the feeling of excuse -itis.

Excuse-itis. I like that.
