Chapter 1: Understanding the Cycle of Procrastination

Have you ever found yourself purchasing courses that you end up not completing? If so, you’re not alone. Many individuals, including myself, often invest in educational programs with high hopes, only to find ourselves disengaged after just a few days.

Perhaps you can relate to these feelings:

• Frustration over wasted time and finances
• The tendency to dismiss incomplete courses as failures
• The resolve to do better with future courses

Currently, I’m participating in a 21-day writing group, and as we approach Day 16, I’ve only been active for 7 days. This course was a significant investment from a creator I admire, featuring impressive guest speakers.

With such motivation around me, I should be excelling! Yet, if graded, my performance would reflect a mere 43—clearly a failing mark. Nevertheless, after a week away, I’ve returned to make the most of the remaining time.

You might find yourself in a similar situation, grappling with self-sabotage and procrastination that hinder your progress. It's common to feel embarrassed when comparing your journey to that of your peers, fearing you’ve let them down.

However, the key is to keep moving forward, even if you feel you've lost your way. Treat every day as a fresh start—your new Day One can begin at any moment, even if it's the last day of the course.
