• Today’s Goal
  • ✅ Resume journaling

💭 Diary

“(Because I was so busy today, because I caught a bad cold, because I was so sick that I couldn’t get out of the blanket)

“I have to do it starting tomorrow~”

Bullshit. That means I will never do it.

Looking back, it’s really disgusting that I’ve continued to say this bullshit for over 12 years, even after becoming a 20-year-old adult… That’s how easily humans change.

I remind myself once again.

Even if my head feels like it will break, today's tasks should be finished today.

Like yesterday, even though I feel like I’m going to die from this cold, I feel proud because I went to the boxing gym and collapsed afterward. Riding a bike makes my head feel more alive. And I am healthier than I think.

It’s okay. Don’t die.

Clearly, I didn’t set today's tasks too hard. I just didn’t do them. It only reveals the harmful effects of temporary procrastination inertia caused by a break in flow for a few days.

So, let’s resume writing a diary again, even if just briefly.

Changing inertia of rest into momentum is the hardest part.

✅ What Went Well (Keep)

• 📝 Maintain writing in a diary: I like the attitude of trying to regain consistency by starting to write again even if the flow is interrupted.
• 🥊 Compelling to exercise: Even though I am not in good physical condition, I exercise at the boxing gym and on a bicycle, and it is impressive that I took action without delay.
• 🎯 Self-objectification: It’s great that you accurately grasped the essence of procrastination and corrected yourself by admitting that you ‘just didn’t do it’.

❌ What Was Missing (Problem)

• ⏳ Conflict over immediate rewards: When the body is tired, as the temptation to ‘start tomorrow’ persists, a stronger action strategy is needed.
• 🔄 Perfectionist Attitude: I have a strong will to ‘finish it today even if my head feels like it will break,’ but if I don’t have flexible adjustment, I can get exhausted again.
• 🚀 Lack of gradual change: In the process of changing inertia at rest to inertia in motion, there is a lack of setting small step-by-step goals.

🔄 Things to Try (Try)

• 📌 Set a minimum actionable goal: Setting smaller goals such as ‘Write at least one line in a diary’ or ‘Exercise for at least 5 minutes’ will help reduce procrastination.
• 🏁 Use an immediate reward system: Let’s think about ways to give an immediate sense of accomplishment, such as listening to your favorite music while stretching after exercising or giving a small reward after writing in a diary.
• 🔥 Keep a log of your routine: Writing down even one line a day of habits such as exercising, journaling, or studying and constantly visualizing your sense of accomplishment will help you maintain inertia.

🏁 Conclusion

Today was a day when I realized my procrastination pattern and took small actions to get back into flow. 🎯 From now on, let’s create a strategy to consistently achieve even small goals and keep inertia moving in the direction of action! 🚀🔥
