White boat: A hard days graft.

Some reasons why we procrastinate...

1. Fear of Failure.

Many people put off doing things because they are afraid of failing. If they only speak of their hopes and dreams, but make no firm effort towards achieving their goal, they cannot fail.

2. Feeling Overwhelmed.

Many times we look at a goal and feel that there is too much that needs to be done in order to accomplish it. The sense of being overwhelmed paralyzes us, preventing us from taking even the first step towards achieving our goal.

3. Human Nature.

We naturally tend to avoid that which causes us hardship or pain, and gravitate towards that which is easy or gives us pleasure. In order to avoid procrastination due to the unappealing or difficult nature of a task, commit to complete the most unpleasant jobs first.

4. Perspective.

If we view a task as being difficult, then that is exactly what it will be for us. Rather than dreading a given assignment, view it as an opportunity to excel.

A hard days graft.

My work today! A screenprint Kitsch style. I love my job, how satisfying to be able to say that about the thing you invest most of your life in. Today I have experimented with colour, recyclable papers and design.
I hope this artist enjoys her work as I really love it:

Close (2000) By Elizabeth Magill.

She grew up in Co Antrim, attended Belfast College of Art and Slade School of Art. She paints landscapes in the tradition of Romantic landscape painting.

Lovely!
