Momentum is the best cure for procrastination.  Many things seem scary or difficult from far away, but I’ve found them not really that hard once I get started.  Action tends to energize my creativity.  However I also like to put some thoughts & planning before I get started.  But not too much though, otherwise I’d get paralized by the analysis.  Overall, my philosphy is aim, shoot, and repeat until I hit the target.  And once I have momentum, it’s a lot easier to maintain that course of action.  Speaking of which, I need some momentum with this blog!

A good habit that I’ve developed recently has been writing down top 10 of my life & year goals respectively each day. This is a much long term outlook differs from the daily to do list.  The exercise  keeps me oriented on what’s really important and where I’m heading in life.  The funny thing is at first the goals differed widely from day to day, but as I do it often, they become more the same, probably a signal that I’ve internalized them into my subconsciousness.  Hopefully the exercise will hasten the realizations of my goals.  I’ll revisit this later and provide an update.
