My brain will decide that HEY it's done with this epic story we've been working on for a year because OH LOOK, A PLOT BUNNY. And that = much procrastination xD. <br /><br />But honestly, visuals help me A LOT when it comes to wrecking procrastination. Covers and collages never fail to get me all pumped up to work on a story again xD. <br /><br />~ Savannah <br />scattered-scribblings.blogspot.comSavannah Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16668452024211579085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2326341874458376487.post-65625515012287359892017-01-31T14:25:50.069-06:002017-01-31T14:25:50.069-06:00This was exactly what I needed!

Like chocolate or candy. They can be reading a chapter of that book you're really into, or going on Pinterest for ten minutes or watching a new episode of your current show. Whatever motivates you, and whatever would tempt you to procrastinate with anyway! If Pinterest is a place you find yourself procrastinating in, make that a reward for NOT procrastinating!

Honestly I think that's a LOT of we artists' problems right?!? We want it to be perfect so we accidentally end up procrastinating forever while hoping it'll become magically perfect for itself. 😂 It can be a seriously problem!! I procrastinate a LOT of things, generally when I'm not sure how to do it. Like writing in my bullet journal or cleaning out my room hhaha. Or writing book outlines! Although for me, if I write really detailed outlines before I start writing, I don't procrastinate writing. I kind of treat it like a job. I can't not show up to a job because I don't feel like it, right?!? Having that mentality has helped me to actually fooooocus and write in my allotted writing time instead of, ya know, playing with legos for five hours.😂<br /><br />I loved this post!!CG @ Paper Furyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954615708675952085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2326341874458376487.post-52855205106247968742017-01-28T13:12:17.106-06:002017-01-28T13:12:17.106-06:00Now I feel like my entire life is procrastination,...Now I feel like my entire life is procrastination, but the tips help!

I can easily find a million other things to do instead of what I'm supposed to be doing. :P And it doesn't help that I get distracted very easily. I can go from one thing to another without even realizing that it happened. Then two hours later, I think, "Wait, how did I get here? Wasn't I doing something else?" And then there are the times when I sit down to do something, but just as I sit down, I see something else and it distracts me. I haven't done much with rewards, but I should probably start. :P Thanks for the diagnosis! :DKaryssa Nortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13469027415320711509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2326341874458376487.post-64297357163802171192017-01-28T09:56:47.974-06:002017-01-28T09:56:47.974-06:00*finishes the post* YES.
