How to re-inspire yourself and avoiding distractions...

There are many times that... feels as though everything is piled on-top all of us, making any real break through with studies, difficult. Believe me, you are not the first and you shall not be the last. Even if you are not a student, adults who work hard suffer the same as students. So I hope this entry helps you all, it's helped me quite a few times in the past!

 

How do we fail/feel as though we aren't progressing

 

• Easily Distracted
• Overwhelmed by everything you have to do
• Don't like being told what to do
• Difficulty Prioritising
• Perfectionism
• Fear of failure
• Too Different
• Hypo focus
• Always Late
• Do things at the last minute
• Live and work in a disorganised atmosphere
• Can't find equipment etc.

Whether your working or currently studying, make sure your working with a subject/area that you are  passionate about. I assure you that this will make everything easier.

 

Take a step back and look at yourself

 

• You probably do meet your deadlines
• What is the problem?
• What is the solution?
• What is the very worst that could happen?
• Don't compare yourself to others
• Use your imagination to your advantage
• What is really stopping you?
• When are you at your best?
• What works for you?
• Prioritising - Could this be done tomorrow?
• - Separate the things you need to do today and what you can do at a later date

What can you do?

 

• Decide on the next action
• Break things down into steps
• mind-maps/ brainstorm
• Concentrate on the starting and the finishing will take care of itself
