Amplify with Alpha

Honestly, I’m not really a “hard worker.”

I get overwhelmed when confronted with a pile of tasks.

I easily find ways to escape the things I need to do.

I end up procrastinating instead of tackling things right in the face.

I’m not the type to study 2 weeks in advance for an exam or finish a task one week before the deadline.

I was aware that I was like this ever since I was a student up until I became a teacher, and now a freelancer.

As the “achiever” type of person, I might pull off things as if everything was well organized or well prepared, but the truth is. . .

I needed to make things work while preserving my time and energy well.

When I became a FREELANCER, this was an obvious roadblock for me because I had the freedom and the time to prioritize things or to do them at my own pace.

I realized that if I wanted to succeed in this field, I needed to change the way I see and do things. . .

⚡️It’s not enough that I manage my TIME wisely, I also need to manage my ENERGY efficiently.

⚡️I cannot accomplish things if I just go with the flow and wing it, I need to follow a schedule and stick to a routine.

⚡️Procrastinating and waiting for something to happen won’t get me clients and projects, I need to put in the work.

How did it work for me? WORKING SMARTER, NOT HARDER

⚡️I found the RIGHT TOOLS that can help me stay organized and on top of my projects.

⚡️I created a SYSTEM that works for me, time blocking, batch creation, identifying roadblocks beforehand, getting rid of distractions, etc.

⚡️Lastly, DISCIPLINE coupled with consistency. I didn’t just rely on motivation, I made sure to show up and get it done every single day.

At the end of the day, if we really really really want to make something work, we should focus our mind and energy on finding WAYS rather than making EXCUSES.

Let me know if you can relate!

Are you the type of person who finds ways? Or do you always find yourself making excuses?
