Summon Your Love For Writing to Beat Procrastination

Use this trick to get started on the projects you always postpone and avoid.

I really enjoy writing..

Actually, scratch that.

I wholeheartedly fricking LOVE writing!

But I did not always know this to be true about myself.

Since well over a decade my mind has come up with so many wonderful lines of though. Once, I invented my own version of a Dyson sphere, way before I even knew that it was an actual concept invented by the physicist Freeman Dyson, on how to discover alien life amongst the stars.

I’ve formulated long and complex philosophical answers as to why modern physics have so much trouble, and I’ve thought long and hard on human evolution and how it’s affecting us today.

I’ve always loved to think, to discover and understand this peculiar world I was born into.

Instead I slowly forgot all my ideas and solutions. They faded away and amounted to absolutely nothing at all in the end.

Then I decided to study journalism. Not because I wanted to chase news, but to enter an environment conducive to writing and to give me a much-needed kick in the butt.

I even quit my part-time job to start writing full time.

It took me many months to realise that I’m now officially allowed to write all day long. I’ve given myself this precious gift of time; so that I may celebrate this abstract exploration of life within my own mind. This realisation is now finally starting to dawn on me.

But the spell only holds if I’m writing stuff that interests me. The moment I steer even slightly of course, I loose my drive to write. It becomes a chore just like everything else. I mean, I still do it. But when procrastination turns up at my doorstep that day will be ruined..

So here’s the truth I promised to reveal to you guys.

It’s possible to trick your mind into writing the hard stuff as well.
