Have You Thought About Turning Your Procrastination Into a Lucrative Activity?
Examples of turning seemingly wasteful activities into lucrative ones
We’re six months after the pandemic was announced. At first, my small businesses were doing fine, but realistically, how many startups can sustain a prolonged pandemic with no end in sight?
Mine couldn’t.
Like many people before me, I had to face the facts and make a decision: stay in business, or be done with it and move on. Many have chosen to move on.
Me?
Well, I can’t do things normally, so I chose an in-between. I decided to pause my business activities for 6 months, focusing instead on the activity I’ve been escaping to for just about anything.
Whenever I meant to work on Soul Reaper or SkillUp, I found myself procrastinating by doing one thing — write.
Whenever an idea came to mind, I’d stop everything I was doing to write an article about it. Then, at the end of the day, I’d be disappointed because I didn’t do half of what I’d set out to do. I’d rinse and repeat the next day.
Weeks went by and my work just wasn’t getting done. It’s not a good sign when you’re trying to make your business survive!
