I officially have no more procrastination projects left for clients :) Im not afraid to admit my mistakes because youll always be able to learn something from them when I do, so lets chat about this one. A while ago, I set the intention to stop doing design work permanently and make my exclusive income off of selling digital products and services and doing affiliate marketing and eventually selling my artwork. However, I had a string of design projects that I had yet to complete. I knew that the logical thing to do was to finish those projects and move onto what I was really passionate about, but instead I moved onto what I was passionate about first and procrastinated on the projects. There was a part of me that still wanted to be that procrastinating graphic designer that undercharges for all of his work. And I was clinging to that part of me by leaving those projects open, not completing them when I should have, and then wasting energy later stressing out about how they werent completed when they should be. By being in that state of procrastination, I was protecting that part of myself and my career that I wanted to kill off and keeping it alive. After listening to a Jeffery Combs podcast earlier today, he talked about how procrastination comes from a place of lack and how you can never design the lifestyle youve always wanted if you procrastinate. He also pointed out that small procrastinations lead to bigger procrastinations, so you just have to get rid of all of them right away. And today is the day that I did that :) I officially have zero projects for clients that Im procrastinating on and it feels like an incredible weight off my shoulders. My body feels lighter. I feel less stress. And I will never go back to procrastinating. Its just not worth it. That was a big barrier I crossed because its something Ive struggled with for a large part of my career and Ive finally crossed it today and I hope that you can learn something meaningful from this post :) Dont procrastinate! Itll drain the life out of you and keep you in a state of lack where you cant open yourself up to abundance!
