Unmotivated? Here's a reminder to get you back on track......

6d • General discussion

What you accomplish TODAY is a reflection of what you can achieve in the future, in sha Allah.

But when we think too far into the future, the tasks feel too big, the end feels too far, it’s easy to get hopeless.

So, don’t always think TOO far ahead, think about what you can do TODAY.

What is the ONE TASK you can get done today, that will help you reach your goals 3 month, 6 months, 12 months for now?

If that task is truly aligned with your goals, then all you need to focus on is today.

This reminds me of a statement of one of the salaf, al-Hasan al-Basri rahimahullah:

"The life of this world is made up of three days: yesterday has gone with all that was done; tomorrow, you may never reach; but today is for you so do what you should do today."

SO, HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN DO TO GET YOU BACK ON TRACK:

Have a time-bound GOAL set (example: Land a paying freelance copywriting client in 90 days)
Ask yourself: What task can I do TODAY to be there in 90 days? (example: Write 3 pieces of email copy for a dream client)
Do that task TODAY
Do the same thing tomorrow in sha Allah
Always ask yourself: Are my tasks aligned with my goal?

The idea to break down big goals into bit-size chunk, so they feel more attainable and realistic.

This is a reminder first and foremost for myself, hope it helps you too.

Stay focused,

Warsame
