Just Do It

 Lights out Alice!

Just Do It!

Simple words, yet pretty powerful. They convey what they mean. First take action. Three words, short and simple and yet we fail to understand the need to implement this ethos into every step of our every day lives. This is especially important for me as I am self-certified professional grade procrastinator and hence reminding myself to get out of the negative spiral and loop and not get complacent everyday is critical. 

In this world full of distractions and anxiety (at least for me) it is very hard to sit still and focus. Coupled with the undiagnosed ADHD, even 20 minutes of focused studies with rote memorisation would be an impossible task for me. Procrastination prevents me from getting started in the first place and in the rare event that I overcome that, it sends its first cousin, ADHD to ensure that even I get started, I cannot maintain the momentum and get the task done. I will deflate midway, lose motivation and probably never get anything done. This hypothesis can be further validated by the sheer number of open tabs (over 30) on my browser and through the number of books I have downloaded (or bought physically), opened and read the first 15-20 pages and then doze off, wake up, try to read the book again and then ultimately quit a few days later.

I hope I am able to recover from this never ending cycle of inefficiency Alice!
