Whats up hope everyones well. Its been a while since I have posted here. The last month has been the worst month for me windsurfing wise, I have had my head stuck in the computer up to my eyeballs with assignments and projects  I guess that is the challenge I have to face compared with other windsurfers who are not studying in university. As I have gone on in college it is becoming increasingly difficult to find the perfect blend of both thank god I only have another year of college left and I can focus a lot more on my windsurfing. The good news is that the madness regarding college has subsided and it is coincidentally going to be windy the next couple of days, im not sure how much Ill enjoy being on the water considering how cold it is in Dublin at the moment. Looking back on the autumn for me it has been pretty poor for sailing never quite getting a string of solid conditions together partly because i missed most of the good season competing. I really wish I could head off to some warm water training as i see the pictures starting to flow in of the other european wave sailors who have begun their migration south to warmer and sunnier climates. Anyway hopefully some good action before christmas time should make up for the break  in sailing.

Have been learning loads through the DIT Athlete support program on Nutrition and Time Management two things i find hard to balance as a windsurfer so hopefully will allow me to  work more sailing and be better fuelled for it when I do.

Narrow your focus: As a distinguished procrastinator  I find myself more often than not looking at the bigger picture. I think oh my god you want me to do what, by this stage my chronic procrastiantion has already swung into full efffect and every excuse under the sun comes flying out to allow me not to do something. Business is the same there are so many not so glamerous mundane task that your company is simply not sucessful enought to hire someone to do it for you. My key bit of advice is to forget the forest and concentrate on the indivdual tasks at hand the trees!!

Reward yourself

When u have complete a task make sure you reward yourself! Make some personal time. At the end of the day you are your own boss so you need to make the rules to keep your workers motivated ie You

Make yourself accountable

Make your goals and tasks accountable, sometimes it is difficult to have so much free reign that if you make yourself accountable it is often a good way to remove procrastination as you have to not only fail yourself but also your friends and family!

Keep it going

Once you go don’t stop. Turn off all your notifications from emails calls etc.. once you begin to be productive work hard until it is complete and then return to the other tasks that aren’t to pressing.

On a side note had heaps of  fun sailing yesterday, cant wait for more.
