Focusing on the wrong things.

I'm a hypocrite. And I'm not the only one, there are hypocrites everywhere.
I'm a hypocrite because I tell myself I'll do something then I go back on my own words. I say it's just once, I'll do it next time. I cut myself some slack. I make exceptions for myself where I promised myself I wouldn't, no matter what🤦
These days, its so easy to lose focus of what you are meant to do. There's always something that comes in between and gets us distracted.
Like last week, I was supposed to post the #lifestyle and #creativewriting categories on Friday and Saturday. I didn't post them because I got distracted. On Friday I had a 8am class that was done by 11am. Then I had to sew the mat I posted about here. I also had to head to town to buy more yarn for the mat but I got sidetracked, in a good way, by going to see a friend of mine who just had a baby😊
By the time I got to town and came back, I was too tired to write any content. That day was wasted.
On Saturday, I had to put the final touches on the mat and then deliver it. Then I had to attend an event in the evening and conduct a business as well. I couldn't post on Saturday either.
Today was as hectic as the two previous days I've had. I haven't been able to get some proper shut-eye since before school officially started. Actually as I write this, I'm dozing off halfway so please bear with my typos, if any.
Okay I'm awake now.(I fell asleep yesterday and I'm writing this at 6am😂😂)
You see how I'm lacking the simple discipline to stay focused and keep going? If I had managed my time well I wouldn't have lost my focus. And that's why we end up being such hypocrites.
With all the distractions of this modern age, how can we make sure we aren't swept up by these distractions?
Manage your time well.
Be tough on yourself. Don't compromise just because you know yourself. This is no time to be friends with yourself.
Plan ahead of time. Write down what you want to achieve and stick to it.
Reward yourself when you stay on track.
Stay well watered, well fed and well rested to get the energy to keep going.
Well we cannot guarantee that distractions won't come our way but we can choose what we want to prioritise.
That's all the #MondayMotivation I have for you today and don't you worry, I'll be back here tomorrow for #Inmyhead.
