Impulse control definitely...

This chick told me sometimes that I use my sense of humor to monopolize conversations too...w/e the fuck that means lol

I'm extremley negative and pessamistic. I know I need to work on that shit. But it's easier being pessamistic because it saves you from dissapointment when things don't work out.

one thing ive learned: Being lazy is expensive.

Too lazy to cook? Eating out all the time is expensive.

Too lazy for oil change? Car repair is expensive

just a thought that helps me stay on point with that. Maybe it'll help you

espcially the cooking...

I do what needs to be done, but i be bullshytin alott

At the risk of sounding like Dr. Phil, I'll say that it only SEEMS easier being pessimistic when in reality it's not. By you thinking and saying negative things, you're only creating negativity b/c the Universe will give you what you expect. Whenever something doesn't go as planned, take the lesson from it and move on. A lot of times, "bad" things happen for a good reason. We need to be saved from ourselves sometimes

/Dr. Phil moment

LOL

Yeah. I tend to wait til things get down to the wire before i do them.

and they come out good. but thats the most troubling part.

cause i always wonder how much GREATER i could have done had i not rushed it.

Ha true. But one of the worst feelings to me is getting your hopes up about something and it falls through. Forreal, I hate that dissapointing feeling so much. Or when bad shit keeps happening to me time after time, it's hard as hell to remain positive when nothing ever goes your way.

m horrible with saving money and using money wisely. i get paid good but im always looking to spend the shit on something or go somewhere

Step on it then, this is advice to all procrastinators in the thread. Bullet your lists and achieve them before the week/month/year finishes and with yearly goals, break down key points in the same manner that software is developed, what do you need to do in alpha/beta stage to reach your finished product?
I want to have emigrated by the time I'm 28 (max).

Good stuff posted in here! Seems like procastination is most people's problem unfortunately. RuffDraft where you looking to emigrate to if you don't mind saying?

Have a portion of your pay directly deposited into a money market account that you can use for an emergency fund. You won't miss it or think twice about it.

You gotta psych yourself out. Sounds corny and cheerleader-ish, but doesn't cost you anything. The same amount of energy you spend on having negative thoughts is the same amount of energy you need to think positively. Find the good. Its hard, but worth the effort. Trust me.

motivation. for a long ass time i thought procrastination was my problem, but it's really motivation, which leads to procrastination.

 

[mryounggun]

Yes, I was a huge procrastinator.

I started writing daily, weekly, monthly and yearly goals. I read them every morning as soon as I wake up and every night before I go to bed. Your goals must be clear and concise and they must have a deadline or you'll convince yourself that you'll get to it "some day". "Some day" never happens. Read "Focal Point"

I like this thread. I'll be back.

You'd be surprised how this shit right here can help you out. Everybody knows about the long term goals. But writing down goals for the next day and looking at them shits before I go to bed and as soon as I wake up helps me a lot. No excuses for not getting shit done.

motivation. for a long ass time i thought procrastination was my problem, but it's really motivation, which leads to procrastination.

Most people who have a problem with motivation don't have a big enough WHY. Your reason/why to do something has to be important/big enough. If not, you won't move.

Ex. Say you challenged yourself to raise $1,000 in a week just b/c. You'll find any excuse in the world to not go out there and get the $$. You'll get tired, lazy, someone will call, you'll hang out, etc. Now, say you HAD to raise $1,000 or get evicted. You'd be motivated to get that $$ come hell or high water. Nothing would get in your way.

You just gotta figure out what you want and why you want it and keep that in the forefront of your mind. Hope that helped
