Using Intuition as Motivation
What do you do when your planning stops working
I have written many weekly plans for writing, for to-do lists, my laundry schedule, and for extra tasks like going to the bank. I used to use my planner religiously, except it never would work out.
Have you ever had a boost of motivation the night before and written down a lifelong list of goals for tomorrow morning? I'm going to wake up at the crack of dawn, work out, eat a healthy breakfast, read for an hour, it goes on and on.
Only, the next day you snooze your alarm three times and your goals go right down the drain. You already feel defeated because you let yourself down. I had some articles planned out for Medium and had a timeline of what days I would write and release all of them. Yet, for the life of me, I could not stick to my goals.
With the exception of concrete deadlines, I was (still am) a heavy procrastination addict. My methods, despite my best intentions and efforts, were fruitless. They were my own goals so why could I not stick to them?
I am most defiant to myself.
One look at my ideal productivity goals and I would go on a random side quest, hate all the articles I had planned, and start a different article completely discarding yesterday Hannah’s intentions.
