I always see myself finishing that task or ticking that goal off my list. It’s funny but now that I really think about it, it’s a movie in my head of me progressing toward the goal. That’s possible only if I have focus, as you rightly mention.

I notice that with goals that are too big or overwhelming, I tend to get stalled and that’s when the window of opportunity for procrastination also opens. It’s then up to me if I want to divide the goal into bite-sized pieces and tackle it one small step at a time.

Regarding accountability, I love deadlines and I don’t really need an external factor like a friend (but that’s a great idea too!) When I’ve got solid deadlines to a task, I tend do hold myself accountable to finish it in time because otherwise I feel disappointed in myself (don’t want that to happen).

Thanks for such an inspiring post.
