RE: White collar worker - Blue collar Mentalilty
Hi @vladivostok A text written specifically for you but inspiring to all.
By deciding in advance exactly what you’re going to do, and when and where you’re going to do it, there’s no deliberating when the time comes. No do I really have to do this now?, or can this wait till later? or maybe I should do something else instead. It’s when we deliberate that willpower becomes necessary to make the tough choice. But if-then plans dramatically reduce the demands placed on your willpower, by ensuring that you’ve made the right decision way ahead of the critical moment.
“Follow your passion!” or “Stay positive!” But you have the decided advantage of actually being effective – which, as it happens, is exactly what you’ll be if you use them.
The good news (and its very good news) is that you can get better about not putting things off, if you use the right strategy. Figuring out which strategy to use depends on why you are procrastinating in the first place.
Have a wonderful day

Those were really nice words, My friend. I remember my grandfather saying " Tomorrow means never ". Procrastination is a slow killer

Hi @hash-tag Thanks a lot for sharing your time with us and congratulations. Clear understanding of your life, this has meant a difference many times in the future.
We are all guilty of procrastinating at some point or other; no one is a stranger to it, right? Some of us might be lucky enough to identify it in time and still do something about it. Unfortunately for others, it steals dreams and can even destroy lives.
The reason we procrastinate varies from person to person and is not always obvious. Sometimes it is a hidden fear that we don’t want to acknowledge, or it could even be as simple as not wanting to do something because it just doesn’t motivate us. Whatever the reason may be, if you know you are a procrastinator, be careful: it has far more damaging effects than you may realize.
Procrastination is linked to stress and anxiety, and these in turn are linked to health issues. If your procrastination leads to feelings of depression, over time this depression will start to affect other areas of your life.
If you procrastinate too much with something, it will most likely start to stress you out and cause anxiety, especially when other people or things are involved. Studies show us more and more how damaging stress and anxiety are for us, with stress being the silent killer.
Another way that procrastination can affect your health is when you continually put off check ups, and postpone appointments or things you need to do. The problem only gets worse and the consequences more dire.
Once you recognize you have the problem and make the decision to take immediate action, you will be able to see when procrastination is creeping in and put it away and start moving towards the success you intend to have.
Have a wonderful Saturday
I wish you much happiness and success
A hug
