Have a goal and then strive to reach it. I don&#8217;t have any young children now, my youngest is 15, I currently work office hours so I am home by half 5 and then I have the weekends off. So I have no real excuse for not achieving my goals, I just procrastinate allot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"299\" height=\"168\" src=\"https:\/\/procrastinationstation.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Code.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1565\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I am looking for another job at the moment but cannot get back into what I enjoyed, not that I hate my job as I don&#8217;t, but it isn&#8217;t what I would prefer to be doing with my time. So for the last couple of weeks I have started myself on the path to bringing my tech knowledge back up to a level where I can get back into the field. If only at a management level. But this will take time. Planning in some time to re-learn at a constant pace is what I need as at the moment its piecemeal. At the same time I do not want to let go of my dream of being a published writer, so I have two goals that I would like to achieve:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Get into a routine of writing, short stories only for a while so that I can bring my writing skills up and start entering them in competitions.<\/li><li>Upskill my tech <g class=\"gr_ gr_21 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace\" id=\"21\" data-gr-id=\"21\">knnowlege<\/g><ul><li>SQL<\/li><li>Web Coding<\/li><li>C#<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/procrastinationstation.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/writing_ideas.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1566\" width=\"352\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/procrastinationstation.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/writing_ideas.jpg 800w, https:\/\/procrastinationstation.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/writing_ideas-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 352px) 100vw, 352px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>From today I am not going to turn on the TV in my office if I am supposed to be working on achieving my goals unless it is to watch something that will help me further my goals. This should be a big help as I waste a lot of time watching TV in there, it&#8217;s my biggest form of procrastination. April can be my trial month, focus on my goals and see what I can achieve, as long as I can stick to a goal, a plan A and not have a plan B I will achieve!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was sent a video from a friend, this particular friend is always trying to help me achieve my dreams by pushing me.
