Over the course of my lifetime, I have picked up many small hacks to get over my innumerable pockets of procrastination. Everybody procrastinates in some form or another. Having a mental tool to get you out of your inertia is so life affirming.
I learnt this phrase from one of my mentors- Robin Sharma
KEEP MOVING FORWARD (KMF)
Robin Sharma
Its a very simple affirmation that I keep repeating to myself whenever I seem to get stuck on a project, in the middle of the day or just about any other time where I can’t figure out what to do.
Keep moving forward reminds me of a very simple thing to do. Just move forward. Just do the next small baby step that you can imagine. Find something small in the direction of your goals and go ahead and do it. Somethings I would write down that small little item and check it off.
It works. Almost every time i try it, it works. There is something so utterly simple, yet surprisingly divine that happens when you just put one step ahead of the other and keep walking.
Keep Moving Forward. The world will take care of the rest.
The underlying principle is Persistence and Grit. Angela Duckworth has a brilliant book on the subject of Grit. It’s called Grit: The power of passion and Perseverance
Go get this book at read it cover to cover and in the meanwhile – Keep Moving Forward
