Overcome Procrastination in 5 easy steps.


Hello Fellow Creators👋
As content creators, we sometimes feel stuck.
There can be many reasons
You started your account with your friend and she is growing faster than you
You are showing up daily but still, nothing seems to be working
You want to launch a course, start your newsletter, and feeling stuck about where to start
You are still confused about your niche
You don’t know if you are doing the right thing
These are some of the blockers that stop you from performing and you feel stuck.
If you cannot relate to any of these, you may stop reading and come back later.
If you are in a zone of execution, you don’t need this right now.

1. Awareness
The solution comes only after awareness.
You join the Gym when you feel unhealthy.
You start writing more when you realize writing can make you dollars.
You behave responsibly when you recognize people are counting on you.
Every action you perform comes after realization.
If you are not accepting you are stuck, you will never be able to solve this problem.
Take a pause, and think about it.
Are you really stuck, the easier way to find out if you are stuck in
You feel unproductive
You don’t know what to do next
If the answer to the above questions is yes, you are stuck my friend.
Now we are aware of the problem, let’s look for a solution.
2. Asking for help
This has always worked for me.
I am not saying that you cannot find the solution to your own problem, you can.
But this is going to take some time.
If you want to save time, reach out to someone who already faced the same problem as you, figure out the solution, and can help you overcome it.
I asked Jordan Parker if he ever feels overwhelmed and this is what he answered.

This gave me confidence that even creators bigger than me face this problem and have their own way of dealing with it.
I found a few ways that worked for me
One of the quickest ways to avoid overwhelm when you are starting.
Unfollow big accounts and surround yourself with creators like you.
You will feel much better, trust me on this.

I wrote a whole thread on how to overcome the feeling of getting stuck.
I was getting 10 followers per day when I started
But got stuck at 65
I know what went wrong, read this so you don't make the same mistake

If you are stuck, it boils down to one simple formula.
3. Simplicity
Keep the process simple, don’t complicate it.
I know there are tons of free information available, be very mindful of what you consume.
Operate with a mentality of a creator, not a consumer.
Focus on creating more.
I consume to learn and immediately apply that.
Simplicity ➡️ Speed ➡️ Growth
KISS

4. Action
Action Cures Fear - Dale Carnegie
Feeling overwhelmed?
Be like Ant
Do you know, Ants can carry objects up to 50 times their body weight.
We are loaded with tons of free information.
Don't spend too much time overthinking
Ants don't think, it just moves forward.
Action Kills Overwhelm

5. Inner Circle
Form an inner circle.
Hang out with creators who are facing the same problem as you.
Talk more often, and hold each other accountable.
Meet weekly on calls and borrow inspiration from each other.
I have created a discord community, feel free to join here.
I am not giving any fixed solutions because everyone is fighting their own fight and there cannot be one solution to everyone’s problem.
I will be more than happy to help you with your problems, just DM me on Twitter @ hi_gaganthakur
