If you are struggling with procrastination and anxiety and can't finish your work and think about it for days or weeks like I sometimes, you are in the right place…
I'm like a limour.
Limours are cute animals, but they sleep for about 16 hours daily.
I am not limour, and I do not sleep 16 hours a day.
But sometimes, I procrastinate even more, not only for 16 hours but maybe a few days and weeks.
And nobody explained resistance and why we procrastinate better than Steven Pressfield in his book, the War of Art.
And he said like this:
The more resistance you experience, the more important your unmanifested art, project, or enterprise is for you. And the more gratification you will feel when you finally do it.
Armed with your journal and pen, you will go through each question I explain in class videos, ponder on them, and answer in your journal.
This will clear your mind of unnecessary blocks that don't allow getting into a productive state and start doing important work for you.
