Two weeks ago I was studying drawing 2 hours a day, reading more than 30 minutes a day, doing an online course, physical exercises, studying English, writing my journal, filling an emotional monitoring app and, suddenly in this last week, I just stopped everything and started to procrastinate.
I read in a book that even Leonardo da Vinci procrastinated, but I don’t know if it’s healthy. Maybe there are some benefits, but not in the long-term.
Another problem is that self-doubt starts to knock: “if I don’t have will power to keep doing it, it means I shouldn’t be doing it.” I don’t always trust my thoughts and emotions, but they mislead me a lot.
Do you have problems with procrasnation? How did you deal with that?
Don’t worry you doing great it happens to many people . You can have break just not more then week sometimes… drawing is hard if you train without instructor it should be hard…try going out of home to the shop or for a walk it might help
I’m drawing with an instructor. After his class, I just gathered some will power to do it again, but, as @insidemind says, I have fear. I fear trying and failing again. Distractions are also a problem.
I often have internal resistances to be productive too. I solve it by forcing myself to be active. It helps my mood. I also take periodic breaks. Just keep up with a schedule and your bound to have more energy eventually
I procrastinate a lot. how do you manage your life? Do you use a planner or time-managing apps? I use both, and cannot take care of everything, but I still do things.
Oh i checked and it’s like a game, right? It seems that you can have both fun and work. I use Atracker. I can record what I did and how long I spent on them.
