Before you point your thumb guns at me, this is an opinion, this is what I feel is true for me, could be otherwise for you.
Yes, I have had trouble with procrastination in the past. Yes, I have had months where I did nothing but thought of a future self-building an imaginary life.
And yes, it has led to massive failures.
But, more recently from when I started working jobs, I have found myself with decreasing amounts of time to spend time with myself, sometimes not even to have food, let alone thinking about myself, my life, or the future life I want or writing this blog 🙂
And with this sudden decrease in time, not only have I compromised my dietary exercise and other things but also my ‘thinking about my life’ exercise.
In short, I have been thinking extremely less about what my life would look like in 5 years and as a direct correlation of it, I have been extremely less ambitious.
Would you have asked the Abhinav one year ago, “where do you see yourself in 5 years?”
Abhinav then would have replied, running India’s biggest Media and Product Agency.
Abhinav today on the other hand will reply, “becoming a product manager or a head of product in an early stage consumer startup.”
Which is ambitious, not denying it, but not ambitious enough, and that got me thinking about why was I limiting myself to this, why can’t I think of myself anywhere else?
Simply because I haven’t had the time to observe the opportunities, think over them, keep them open ended and think of possibilities, exactly what we call procrastinating, I haven’t been procrastinating enough and that’s a problem.
Can’t afford being an Abhinav who is less ambitious than the one he was 1 year ago.
