The things I find to do Rant
Honestly, In a word "Procrastinate"
I have been doing all those things that mean nothing and not been doing my writing. The key to success with WA is writing. This isn't really a blog but simply a means for me to vent about not moving forward and allowing myself to avoid doing what must be done.
Funny how you know what to do but keep finding ways to avoid it. Dreaming of my goals instead of implementing them. However here I am writing a blog but not writing the material for my site. Im socialising here, I even jumped ahead and got google analytics and I don't need it yet. Finding things to do simply to avoid doing what must be done.
It not only is counter productive it creates negative feelings and thoughts about yourself that are damaging.
At least Im not watching TV or reading a thriller or playing iPad games and the house is clean, the bed made, the dinner I cooked was delicious and I have had a break to recoup. So you see I can even rationalise (Ration Lies) my procrastination so that I feel better. What a terrible thing to inflict on ourselves.
Tomorrow morning I will begin my writing and continue to move forward within WA.
Thank you for listening to my rant
Cheers
Terry

Procrastination is the biggest obstacle to anyone working from home. I think you need to set goals for each day and plan your time out a bit. Personally, I use a calendar program on my computer, and I actually plan out my time. I include gaps, so that it's not one continuous slog, and to also make room for if things take longer than I originally expected.
You need to break your day up. An hour writing, then half an hour going outside for a walk. Then when you are writing, make sure that you're genuinely interested in what you are writing about. I genuinely think this is 90% of the battle right there. If you're interested, it's fun and you get propelled along by your own enthusiasm. If you're not interested, it's like banging your head against a brick wall. But also, if you're not interested, that will probably come across in your writing.
What is your niche?
Does it genuinely interest you?
A good rant is not a bad thing. In fact, I would feel better if I ranted more as I'm news and political junkie and really am offended by what's going on in the U.S. today and the past several years. Will spare WA, however, so no fear. Other good things to do here.
Hello Terry.......I feel like you are talking about me. You are not alone.
Thank YOU for the rant....It got me THINKING and I have to try harder to get what I want out of life.
To our Success here at WA and in LIFE!

Hi Terry
Seeing that you joined only what about 10 days, you are doing great and I complement you.
The saying is that 'Procrastination is the thief of time - challenges is that he not only steals - He opens the door for some other unsavoury characters like Depression and Frustration amongst other.
The key is to focus on TODAY, whatever you do today, regardless of the quantum - its progress. Keep moving forward each and every day.
Congrats on your achievements to date.

Since I joined WA and started working on my site I also stopped watching TV completely. Amazing how things changed in such a short period. Jovo

I do the very same things. Glad I'm not the only one. Thanks for your rant. Now we can all get back to work. I published another blog on my site this morning so I'm feeling good about that. Hope you have done the same. Best wishes. :)
