A lot of you asked me how I stopped procrastinatin

A lot of you asked me how I stopped procrastinating for good. I came up with this "technique" a while ago, and it works everytime.
⁣
You have to keep in mind though that the energy you need to make the initial decision will always be the same. And that is just something you have to overcome all by yourself. No therapist, no coach, no mentor can help you with that. And they shouldn't.
⁣
Because if that activation energy comes from the outside, you will not find it again when you need it. You have to make that up by your own and push yourself until you start thinking about your problems.
⁣
I thought this post could also be a good opportunity to talk about what we are avoiding right now. Feel free to share whatever comes to mind. It does not have to be something big.
⁣
Annotation: »Name it to tame it!« is actually a phrase that I have first read in the Book ›The Whole-Brain Child‹ (Siegel, Payne Bryson). I love this book. Even if you aren't a parent... it is like the mother of all conflict workshops, for yourself at home on the sofa.

GOALS SUCK. Or: How much time do you actually take

GOALS SUCK. Or: How much time do you actually take to think about what you want to do?
⁣
Goals get lost so easily. Postponed, planned, put on vision boards, or worse, on Pinterest. I did that myself, like a lot. I used to put all my ideas and big plans in notebooks. And there's nothing wrong with that. I still have a bullet journal page just about milestones I want to reach.
⁣
But the thing is, nothing really changes if you just put them in there. Nothing is different, just because they are written down on some piece of paper. In order to achieve something, you actually have to be in the mindset of working towards achieving it.
⁣
Just like this: If you want to go on vacation, you have to set your mind to it, plan it, work out all sorts of things that can come in the way of your trip, organize a ride, food, money and actually sit your a$$ in the car and drive. Putting goals on a piece of paper in this analogy is like saying that you want to go on a trip somewhere. It's the "somewhere" and that's it.
⁣
I don't want to do that anymore. Also, sharing your goals can be super discouraging, and it's a thing I completely stopped doing. Telling my friends, family, myself in the mirror. I stopped doing that, and instead I create tasks, organize my calendar and acutally book time for working on my goals.
⁣
What do you do to achieve yours?

My breakfast is minimalist too lol. (One matcha latte, that's it.) And not intentional at all...
⁣
It's not intentional, it's a mix of "I'm not hungry" and "I'm too tired to make a proper breakfast anyway." But it's the perfect substitute for a real breakfast, because matcha latte is actually super filling.
⁣
What's really nice about skipping breakfast is actually that it can give you a real productivity boost. I've actually heard that in a clinical chemistry lecture years ago. The professor was giving tips on nutrition for students, pretty funny actually... And one was to wait with breafast until you actually got something done.
⁣
I don't totally agree with that, because if you have a long commute, it doesn't work out at all and you just get hungry on the train perhaps... But for me, in the home office, this is perfect. It gives me just the right amount of sugar to wake up and later, when I'm a bit more awake, I top it off with an espresso, and then I can keep going like this until noon.
⁣
How do you do it? Do you have breakfast during the week? Did you join the matcha hype already?

I always kill the basil. 🙁 ⁣ This one is gone

I always kill the basil. 🙁
⁣
This one is gone too, already. RIP. I kill all basil that comes into my home, I really do, or they commit suicide, I don't know... I think the most sustainable thing for me will be to to stop growing basil for good. Some things are just not meant to be.
⁣
Most of the time, the basil dies of some tiny little insects that start eating its leaves faster than I can make pesto. Then it starts looking really sad. And well, then the palliative care may begin.
⁣
First, I start taking of the infected leaves, remove all the insects with a wet cloth, and give the basil a nice shower to feel better. But nothing will help. They always come back.
⁣
I might want to add: I do not have any issues with my other plants. They grow and grow and grow and they are happy with a bit sun and water. Just basil, basil seems to be a suicidal little a__hole. So I guess, farewell, basil. I still have thyme, rosmary and all their friends. Live goes on.

Do you tag your posts to get views or just for fun

Do you tag your posts to get views or just for fun?
⁣
It sometimes feels like a bad think to want to grow a social media account. It's weird. But if you are on Instagram to SHARE CONTENT and not just to hang with friends, then you already care about your content.
⁣
If you actually want to get views and find new followers, hashtags are one of the few possibilities left to get semi-organic traffic on a post on Instagram (there is no fully organic traffic on most social media platforms today anymore).
⁣
It's still weird, but the fact that you care doesn't make you a sleazy advertiser. It just makes you a person that cares about the work they put into their posts. My posts are far away from what I would want them to be in an ideal universe. Mostly, because I don't really care. I often just want to use this platform to keep my memories and share nice photos. But yes, at some point in the future this might change. It already changed in the way that I want to produce a little more "value" (because it's weird to talk about yourself all the time... I feel like writing a diary sometimes). Yeah. That's it 🙂
