Ever noticed how "Tomorrow" is the busiest day of the week? | Guilian Asongtia

Ever noticed how "tomorrow" is the busiest day of the week?

Students, let’s talk about something we have all fallen for.

For you, it might sound like:

 I’ll start revising tomorrow.

 I will do that assignment tomorrow.

 I will start working on my practical projects tomorrow

 Tomorrow, I’ll finally be serious.

For me, lately it’s been:

 I’ll record that video tomorrow.

 I’ll edit it tomorrow.

 I will post a video tomorrow.

And guess what? Tomorrow keeps running faster than both of us.

That’s the trap. It feels like you’re buying time, but really, you’re just giving procrastination the upper hand. One "tomorrow" slips into the next, until suddenly deadlines are knocking and stress is breathing down your neck.

Signs you’re stuck in the "tomorrow" loop:

 You have said "I’ll start tomorrow" more than twice.

 You plan things out but never take the first step.

 You feel guilty for not starting yet convince yourself you’ll catch up later.

How do we break it?

Start small. Start today.

 Read one page.

 Answer one quiz, past question, etc.

 Record even a 1-minute clip.(for me)

 Write a rough outline.

It doesn’t have to be perfect, just set the ball rolling. Because momentum beats procrastination every time.

So yes, this is me reminding you… while also reminding myself.

And speaking of tomorrow…

This post is my promise to turn it into a video and share it tomorrow.

Now the big question is: will I actually show up?
