Have you ever sat down to write an article or even study for an hour only to realize that after the hour has passed you haven't taken an action to achieve what you were supposed to do?

**You are not alone!!!**

When I woke up on Sunday  I had one goal which was to finish writing at least 3-4 blog posts so I have the stuff to put out daily for the week when I find myself tied up with other things like I always do.

Sounds like an easy task yh

Well since Sunday till now I was able to write nothing, the post I put up 2days ago was the last article I had in my draft but since Sunday till now I have been able to finish 2 interesting series with 10 episodes each, taking daily walks and spent a lot of times on social media when I could have easily finished up my writing as planned.

Even this post took a lot of time because I would get a pop-up notification from Instagram, YouTube, email, or WhatsApp and off I go for another 30minutes,
It is almost like the universe is conspiring against me to distract me from finishing what I started today till I realized I was busy with something and laughed at myself because this is the same thing I am writing about and I am still doing it.

What is wrong with me?
I know It's nothing but this is not me, I just started this new habit of being a terrible procrastinator and it has to end.

I would assume that distraction is the cause of this new habit, or maybe because I have gotten so used to being spontaneous lately. it has been a long time I planned my calendar or my day. my new norm has been living day-to-day as I go and the funny thing I have realized is it seems I procrastinated because I made plans towards it.  It seems to be spontaneous works for me I just have to learn to stick to it.

Because when I plan It feels like my brain keeps showing me a to-do list and it gets exhausting already thinking about the act of starting and finishing but when I don't even plan towards it, it somehow flows naturally and it comes easy and on time.

I am glad I have been able to recognize this problem, so I am off to fixing it by staying aware of what I am doing and what should be done, avoiding distractions maybe I should start pinching myself most times when I become aware of distractions that lead to procrastination and return to the land of productivity.

I am writing this as a way of being accountable for my actions and staying focused and yes by the way
