But.. I am suffering from the &#8220;fear of missing out&#8221; how much would I really miss if I took the plunge and deleted the apps from my phone and limited my time when I am on my computer when at home. This is one of the things that I am considering to achieve my goals. But can I really take the plunge to remove Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram and Twitter from my phone? A friend pointed out the youtube channel of Matt D&#8217;Avella and so I have been watching some of his videos. Allot of them hit home with things I have wanted to try to improve my life and to help me reach my potential. I&#8217;m 41 now, how much longer can I put this off and continue to procrastinate before I just give up altogether. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have suggested with a friend to do &#8220;something&#8221; in June, to improve our lives and document it on the way, we are yet to decide if this is something we can do together or if he can&#8217;t something I need to do on my own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I want to move forward, not stay the way I am plodding along until I croak!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"803\" height=\"449\" src=\"https:\/\/procrastinationstation.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/wAITING.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1610\" srcset=\"https:\/\/procrastinationstation.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/wAITING.jpg 803w, https:\/\/procrastinationstation.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/wAITING-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/procrastinationstation.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/wAITING-768x429.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 803px) 100vw, 803px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been thinking for a while now what it would be like to not be on social media, how much more could I get done with my time.
