Procrastination Meets Meaningful Down Time
Procrastination Meets Meaningful Down Time
Would you like to know how to accentuate the former and how to supercharge the latter? If you answered yes, then be prepared for your assessment of these natural cycles of life to be completely turned around.
See, in order for you to maximize your productivity ALL the time, you must recognize something that is not often understood in modern cultures: that the source of your productivity is taking place on your quieter days. That is, what you are receiving mentally, emotionally and spiritually those days when you don't so much want to "do anything" is the key to your energy and motivation all the other, more obviously productive days.
I'll say it again even more simply. What you allow yourself to receive during your "unproductive" time determines the level at which you will operate when you do take action.
So how does one apply this to real life? After all, most of us need to get things done on a regular basis. Quite right. And here is the specific application. On those seeming "low motivation" days ask yourself these three questions, and allow yourself to peruse over the answers:
1. How is what I've been doing related to the big picture of my life?
2. What is it that I need to know about myself in order to stay in harmony with my personal "big picture"?
3. After I've recharged my personal energy, what 3 items must I target to stay on track most effectively?
Finally, you must be willing to allow yourself the luxury of down time, even if you have a mountain of projects to complete. The reason you must do this, is because your body, emotions, spirit and soul have mandated a reassessment, even if your brain screams out in anxiety. This does not mean not to do anything, but it does means not to do anything that is not absolutely necessary.
And if you can in fact, completely relax into your natural cycle of down time, then you have an amazing opportunity to take your goal and insights to the next level. Just by daydreaming what it is that would really juice you this day, and who you need to become to live that way...
