Oh dear... bastard... or composure s'il vous plaît
This bastard …
… again !!!
And – cleverly – always exactly when it is once again absolutely inappropriate
… as if he had suspected it.
The … PIG DOG
We are – as so often under time pressure – working on an important project , working on a groundbreaking concept , finally putting into action the goals we have firmly planned for the new year , we have already put on our running shoes , counted the calories , ...
Whatever!?!
He sneaks up quietly from behind…
we get goosebumps
it scares us
Then the tapping becomes more noticeable …
a frightening suspicion creeps up on us
then
we feared it
comes, … the sneak attack
baring teeth, grunting, squeaking , …
Oh no, there he is again
… the SWING DOG !!!
PIG OF BASKERVILLE , soc.
It can't be true, this idiot
Another loud growl and,
… with our self-discipline we'll head straight for the thunder-drum !!!
All of a sudden …
The sun is shining so beautifully , the deadline is not for a few days , the trainers are pinching , the calories ... well, oh well... once is not enoughand after all, we are not dogmatists !
That’s how it is with discipline –
however helpful it may be – undisputedly –
it is so difficult to constantly heed them!
As consistently as we strive for them
so persistent remains the “nasty creature”
At some point she will gain the upper hand
provided
we allow that ! …, indeed!
This raises the question…
Who actually has control over whom here?
Discipline
noun [ the ]
Determination is one of the essential prerequisites for success in life,
no matter what goal you are pursuing.
John D. Rockefeller II
And he should know!!
So how do we successfully approach our goals?
How can we fight procrastination?
And… how can we finally make it clear to this bastard who is the boss in the house?
Fortunately, there are a few little tips that can make the fight for supremacy much easier for us.
If that’s what we want ! … indeed!
Since there are only 24 hours in a day , we are only human … and can rarely perform magic, we have to think carefully about where our priorities lie (what bothers us the most , what do we like to put off – let’s start with that – everything else is much easier anyway !!!
We would rather concentrate on one or two unpleasant tasks , which we will then be able to manage and ... complete !!!
no social media!!! nothing more needs to be said - after the work is done we can still enjoy the successes of others !!!
The reward principle worked in childhood, so why not now? Apart from the positive victories that await those who have achieved their goals, small milestones can also be sweetened with a little treat (before I meet my girlfriend in a café, I treat myself to a nice evening in a restaurant (or at home) with my partner - X or Y will be done, ... otherwise ... - so let's hurry up !!!)
From time to time it doesn't hurt to learn to delegate , because someone else can do one thing or another quite well - we are not fundamentally indispensable!!!
If you make your goals public (well, it is enough to confide them to someone who is very close to you), the pressure will encourage us to do what needs to be done (because who wants to be seen as a chatterbox ? I certainly don't!!!)
Bene … so let's get to it , because
The sun is still shining after work, probably even more beautifully (even if it is late at night or raining); It is better to press your sneakers tight than your pants button; And the calories – once is not enough, so we can safely leave it alone!; No, we are not dogmatists! ... we have goals!!!
And should we nevertheless be threatened with another attack from behind, then… well, then we will simply kick this beast firmly in its fat ass and put it in its place immediately!!!
Because one thing is certain… We are the ones who have the say here!!!
That’s it!!!
