We’ve all been there—staring at a growing to-do list, promising ourselves we’ll start “soon.” But procrastination can sneak in quietly and derail even the best intentions. The good news? You can beat it with a few simple shifts.

1. Break it down.
Big tasks can feel overwhelming. Instead of looking at the entire project, break it into bite-sized pieces. Small wins add up and build momentum.

2. Set mini-deadlines.
Waiting until the last minute? Try giving yourself earlier, self-imposed checkpoints. Treat them like real deadlines—they help you stay on track and reduce last-minute stress.

3. Remove distractions.
Silence your phone, close unused tabs, and create a workspace that supports focus. Even 25 minutes of distraction-free work (try the Pomodoro Technique!) can do wonders.

4. Celebrate progress.
Each step forward deserves a little cheer. Acknowledge your progress—it boosts motivation and makes the next task feel more doable.

You’ve got this.
The first step is simply starting. Once you do, momentum builds—and suddenly, the finish line doesn’t feel so far away. Keep moving forward, one small win at a time.

Thanks for stopping by—I hope you found a little spark to keep you moving forward!

Zig Ziglar Quote

With the New Year fast approaching I wanted to share a motivational quote with you by Zig Ziglar on my Determination Painting, it reads:

“Time can be an ally or an enemy. What it becomes depends entirely upon you, your goals and your determination to use every available minute.”

Time seems to fly by faster and faster. But for me, the worst feeling is to have time fly by and feel that I made no progress and spun my wheels in the mud. Time is always moving so we need to move right along with it so it doesn’t pass us by.

Are you ready to grab time and make it your ally this coming year?

Hope this inspires you in some way. Thanks for stopping by!!!

Thoughtful Thursday One Step at a Time

It’s hard to believe today is already December 1st and year is almost over. This is the perfect time to give some thought to the coming new year. As human beings we have the incredible ability to see the end result of something before we even get started. So where do you see yourself in a year from now or 5 years from now?

It’s so important that you envision where you want to be because you’re going to end up somewhere in the next year or the next five but the question is where will you end up? Are you going to spin in circles with no aiming point or are you going to make your dreams a reality? The choice is yours so pave your path to the future you want for yourself. Start by acting as though what you desire is already yours. This will help you envision it more clearly so it will become your reality.

All of your thoughts, actions and decisions have brought you to where you are today. But to get to the future you envision for yourself, you most likely need to make changes. They don’t have to be drastic but start with 1 thing that will bring you closer to your dream. Keep doing that 1 thing everyday until it becomes a habit. Then change 1 more thing and repeat the process.

Before you know it, you’ll be 10 steps closer to your vision. And if you reach your destination and decide it’s not for you or you have a change of heart along the way, then change your path and envision something new. Remember anything is possible but you must take that first step so life can give you the opportunities and circumstances to make your visions, your reality.
