There is something that you need to do. You’re thinking about it day and night. However, days go by, and you feel frozen to take action. The more time go by, the more you start to overthink possibilities that you have lost and the current moment, where you don’t know how to move on. As a creative person, I have had severe issues with procrastination myself. However, I have overcome that bastard with some simple techniques.

Force Yourself to take Action

As an artist, I sometimes fear that I will ruin my painting, and as a writer, I sometimes face writer’s block. However, nothing else kills procrastination than forcing yourself to take action.

I built a schedule where I forced myself to write and paint for two weeks. No matter how I felt. To be honest, despite those two being my greatest passions, it felt like shit to begin in the morning. However, when I became like a machine, I got into good speed, and things got easier.

Don’t let your brain have a moment for hesitation, but take action, before you allow yourself any excuses. Just force yourself, like some of you are taking your children to school or daycare. Just do it and the flow that you have been waiting for, comes.

Kill it With Routines
