Procrastination
« on: May 29, 2019, 10:01:39 pm »
Every month I tell myself that I will not wait until the last few days to complete my posts but I continue to do the same thing.  Any suggestions on how to overcome this problem.  What do you do to force yourself to stop putting things off until later.

No matter what I make myself do 2 day minimum.  That way half way through the month with little effort I can get them done.  Any time I do more than 2 I give myself a pat on the back and tell myself if I really want to I can skip the next day.  Usuallyy once I get to them, I do enjoy reading and commenting.

I have to work on that myself .sometimes the posts don't interest me or I feel I got noth8ng to say.  Doing 2 a day should help.  Have to get going now and find another  to post.

I sometimes have to make a little note and post it in a highly visible area in my bedroom. I am still working on a school project...which should have been completed a few days ago. But I think my issue is more time management and less about procrastination.

It really depends on the workflow I have every week but I too feel like I always scramble near the end.

Time slips by me as well.  But as a whole, I don't procrastinate.  I get things organized in my mind ahead of time and if possible get things done well before it is due.

Uh just do it.  As soon as I hit 30 I submit it.  If you need the money and you want paid you will just do it.

I am a member of a bunch of sites.  I have some I rarely to never visit. I try to focus on where I can make the most money.  I write down every time I earn something then at the end of the day I can total it up.  Sometimes that depresses me when I realize I wasted an entire day and make less than $2.

Funny you should mention it, I just looked and only have 19 posts. I do check daily, alot of times I find there is nothing I want to add to a post.

I like that "post at least 1 daily tho" :)

I try to do 1-2 a day but like others have said, there are days where I feel I have nothing to add to the posts.

Life happens and sometimes you can't post often like you should. I only post to the interesting topics when I have something to say, and then I get behind. But I always catch up. I try to post at least twice a day. I suggest get it done right away and set a reminder.
