Sometimes when you're in a dark place you think you've been buried;but you've actually been planted.

Maybe it’s not the end; maybe it’s the start.

Understand yourself and those around you.

Christine Caine: When You’re In A Dark Place

We procrastinate for two reasons:<ol><li class="ql-align-justify">It’s too easy, I’ll do it later</li><li class="ql-align-justify">It’s too hard, I don’t want to do it</li></ol>The second happens mostly when you have a project without a deadline.The productive people see this as an opportunity. They force themselves to do the work. Not discipline themselves, but literally force themselves.

Start Procrastinating

To force yourself, spend your last $1000 on something that would benefit you like a course, or a bootcamp, or a software. Whatever it is, just spend all your money.Now you don’t have any money, but you do have the course, the bootcamp, or the software.Force yourself into Win or Die situation. Now you are forced to make money and you have a deadline

Force yourself

You can probably accomplish all your yearly goals in just a single 12 week year or 3 months. That’s a real deadline.<ul><li>Start a new project every 3 months so that you’re forced to work as hard as you can.</li><li>Work for 4 hours a day</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Lock yourself in a room and laser focus in on just 1 task a day</li></ul>What projects should you start every 3 months? Any project related to your One Thing.<ul><li>launch a course</li><li>a cohort</li><li>write an eBook</li><li class="ql-align-justify">make digital products</li></ul>

The 12 Week Year

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Get up at 5:00 a.m</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Do your morning rituals & start your work by 5:30 a.m</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Remove the distractions & enter the Flow State</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Get up at exactly 9:30 a.m</li></ul>Work expands as you push your deadline. The deadlier the deadline, the more work you'll get done.

The 4 Hour Work Day

Don’t use social media for procrastination. Do this instead:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Read books</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Go out & meet someone new</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Play a sport</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Take a run</li></ul>Replace your bad habits with good ones. Replacing my mobile phone with books was the best change I made. I’m now addicted to books. :)📚 If you learnt from this article, then you’ll learn far more from <a href="https://binsletter.beehiiv.com/subscribe">my free weekly newsletter</a> where I share productivity tips & self-help knowledge.

Procrastinate Productively

Procrastination is a super power. No, this is not non-sense. Procrastination is actually the hidden power that you unlock after years and years of productivity. Let me explain.

How I turn procrastination into productivity

Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.

Happiness is not something readymade. It comes from your own actions.

The secret of happiness is to count your blessings while others are adding up their troubles.

Happiness quotes 

Keep Going
You will Always Be an Impregnable Fortress

Motivation When Happy

Remember that feeling sad is normal.You have no other person left to disappoint except yourself. ■ Be happy not for the sake of being happy. ■Be happy because you are still surviving this test of life.

Motivation When Sad

Who is your True Enemy ● WHO IS YOUR TRUE ENEMY Ask yourself That ● Channel the Anger into Something Better ● Something that will Improve your LIFE

Motivation When Angry

Heh Do you notice ♤ how special you areNobody truly knows you Nobody knows who you are Or Nobody can't even predict your next moves Because they know that This Npc/Nobody is so Unkown they cannot fully predict Your next Moves But if you no longer want to be a Nobody/Npc ■ Get up and just Eat a sandwich and think about Life. And if there even is a need for you to change ● Because you my Friend always were Special in your Own Way In your Own Sense

Motivation For The Nobody/NPC

Funny The way you think is Everyone else is happy because they are smarter to ignore the sad things in life or the fact they are happy cause they get all the top G stuff or whatever My Friend..YOU ARE Sad because you are SMART ■ You have MORE AWARENESS than these guys YOU HAVE MORE capacity to know that even though you might be Sad Depressed or Lonely..YOU STILL SURVIVE EACH DAY MAYBE EVEN THRIVE IN A SENSE And Even if you might be LonelyRemember● You have Someone watching you from Above Or Remember ◇ You have Yourself Who is All you need for a JOURNEY OF LIFE OF EVERYTHING IN-BETWEEN

Motivation For The Sad Or Lonely Or Both Or Just Depressed

You aren't dumb nor an idiot..you know that you are Dumb and you know that you may aswell be an Idiot. $ And well Analyzing the fact that you YOURSELF DO KNOW THAT YOU ARE SOMEONE A BIT NOT KNOWLEDGABLE $ Means you have the Learning Capacity to be smart Because True Dummies would not know they are Dumb True idiots would not know they are an Idiot My Friend I was an Idiot once but i never knew I was a True Idiot until i started my self improvement journey and Started Improving myself ■ Get off from your Phone and maybe just maybe instead of touching Grass..touch the Feeling of Curiousity

The Resilience Remix: Bouncing Back on Purpose

What hapens when you listen to a music or a song you love?It gets saved in your backend of brain and it stays there for long, if you consciously notice you will see that you are repeating the music or beats whole day.Whats the problem?When we meditate, we focus on our breathing, our breathing is calm and it gets saved in our minds backend which will makes you feel lighter and calmer whole day, the opposite of it what music does it creates clutter in your backend.

Music, The Destroyer Of Peace

If a person is satisfied then he doesn't need more money, he doesn't feel lacking behind, he doesn't blame himself, ultimately he is satisfied with himself.What satisfaction asks from you??It asks your betterment, On what you are working doesn't matter, how you are putting your efforts on daily bases is what matters.It's not like you worked for 1 year and you are satisfied whole life ,it's a continuous process, so only "choose the things you love" and make it your way of life and feel satisfied everyday.

Money Has Nothing To Do With Your Satisfaction

Your Self control is tested when your mind comes up with 1000s of random uplifting ideas.

Everytime you say no to something you like or want or are attracted towards You are losing some amount of energy.This energy which gets lost when we say 'No' is limited and recharges daily. You will get exhausted if you say no to every little useless thoughts.So trick is to say less number of 'No's for that environment is game changer.Make your environment so much supportive to your goals that there never comes a scene of saying 'No' , improvise your system (friends, eating, sleeping, thoughts), what you consume is very important throughout day, focus on that.Be a lazy productive person.

Environment : The Game Changer

<ul><li>Take care of yourself like someone you love,</li><li>Innertalk is very important to survive ups and downs of emotions.</li><li>Never show yourself more than or less than what you are actually in front of someone/yourself.</li><li>It's you vs you don't compare yourself with anybody else (if you are putting efforts and are growing that's all pace is not important thing ,with time you will gain that power)</li><li>Innertalk example when you fall short - "yes I know, hmm but I can't act like fool and do more harm to my body,it's great that I have this much consciousness in these hard times, let's give it some time so that it -</li></ul>

Be Authentic To Yourself

<ul><li>-can heal and I will come back stronger but for now I will not quit because I am falling short, I will do whatever is possible me it's fine if I am not on peak I am human afterall, these are the times where i should not give up"</li><li>Showing up daily is what takes lot of courage (taken from atomic habits)</li><li>Life asks you years of time and sacrifices for big things, you can't master everything in life, life is short, so do the things you love don't follow others passions.</li><li>Get up everytime you fall short.dont forget to give your body and mind healthy rewards so that it becomes strong for you big goals.</li></ul>

Continued..

It's how to respond in the points when you are totally out of track or feeling low which decides whether you will accomplish your goals or not.For whom you should compromise ❓<ul><li>Family.</li><li>Close friends.</li><li>Partner.</li></ul>If you think once, nothing in this world can add meaning to your life, even if you become billionaire, became popular etc etc actually it will not matter much if you were not there for your loved ones when they needed you. They are the actual riches of your life.When you compromise your things for them, you should be inline with your real state and get back to it after fulfilling their needs.

Compromises, Being Strong From Inside.

You will find yourself when you devote yourself completely for your loved ones.

Less clutter in your mind more it will be easy to control it, Whenever we do new task, we have to think about it so it takes some amount of energy.Routines are the one solution for these all thoughts, "i m tired, I am doing anything in life, I should do something" and getting into some random track and failing then again "why I am like this? I have to do something"These all are stupid thoughts which come in people who never tasted and started the real journey towards their dreams. Routines make your base strong, they will make you disciplined, they will give you feeling of satisfaction.

Routines

I am lazy productive person

In depth solutions to make you feel satisfied and your life sorted.

The Question ⁉️

May be in some of the rare cases it can goes in different direction than we expected.But not all the things will end up in a mess.So we should make our mind to face the situation whatever happens atleast it should start from our mind with a small optimistic thinking. 🌀 If we change the way we look at things, the things we look will change 🌀
