Proof

LUXT - [Proof]--- Earlier, I was thinking about the ideas we use to motivate ourselves (see previous post), and I thought about all the shit I have to do, this weekend. Usually, I'd go to the Hagakure for this one. "Tomorrow too is but a single day," and all of that.

But what, I said to myself, if it's more than a day's work? How do you kick yourself in the ass to deal with that much work to do? I never found a thing in my arsenal, at the time.

Then this song came on.

Najwa Gibran/Yuval Ron - Shaya Dance--- That's the one.

"The sooner I do it; the sooner I don't have to do it anymore" has been working for me, lately.

I've been pointing that at him for YEARS, it does not work. :/

Truthfully, it never worked for me when someone else said it, either. It was one of those that had to be had as an epiphany.

Usually I just tell invert my procrastination into getting it done out of spite.

My problem isn't the motivation itself, but in the sheer amount of stuff there is to be done. It feels like I have four days worth of shit to do, and two days in which to do it.

I need to remember how to shorten the way.

I'm right there with you.

got to agree with opalblack on that one, but also when working on something, or having a lot of work looming over you, getting started sooner leads to being able to deal with any kind of issue that may arise. I found this out while doing various cosplays. Nothing said OMGWTFBBQFAIL! like a project getting ruined last minute because you are rushing.

See above, really.
