Procrastinate or Pay up?

Many would say that the generation today is label as the technology driven generation. I like to think of it as the entrepreneurial and dream-driven generation. A lot of people are making it their business to start taking full advantage of life and beginning to follow his or her dreams. Unfortunately, with all the distractions in the world slowing people down from achieving their hearts desires. One of the major distractions seems to be social media. While people try to study, complete homework, or read a book; subconsciously we get lost in our phones, Ipad, Instagram, Facebook and etc. Time seems to just slip away from us , this then leads into the common phrases; “I will finish it later, or I will have time tomorrow” in other words; PROCRASNIATION.

This dream driven and entrepreneurial generation seems to continue to be innovative nonetheless.

My question for you is what if every time you procrastinated, missed a deadline or gave up on pursuing a goal do you think you would have completed it on time or finished it, if there was a supplemental incentive or payout?

If you answer yes, today is your lucky day an entrepreneur’s new site invents procrastinators to pay ransom for their bad habits. This is a website which offers a creative service that will appeal to the productivity-hungry, to-do list savvy individuals. The site is names Go F!#%ing Do it; a site in which you either achieve your goals and complete your to-do task or you literally pay for it! Though you will have to publicly share what your task, dream, or goal is. I know that people are likely to succeed when they have others keeping tabs. It’s a sense of self-accountability, I believe. Think about it, no one wants others to see or know that they have fail; it’s not the American way.

I am pretty sure there is some study out there in the world, that shows; people would rather complete a task if it means keeping money in their pocket. I believe this because, I am thinking of my self, I much rather work harder to finish something I have set my mind to, instead of losing money that I worked hard for. Especially for a task or something that I could have been properly planned out, prioritized and successfully completed. Like my self and many of us today we finds ourselves so busy and tied up with “everything”, when in actuality it turns out to be us simply doing a whole lot of nothing, we’re just moving at a fast pace, which gives the illusions that we’re super busy. John Lennon said, “That life happens when you are making other plans.” This site could definitely prosper if marketed correctly, because the perception of what productivity really is has been misconstrued. A lot of times, we get claim being productive as an accomplishment, when really being effectively productive is what will lead us to happiness. Being happy allows person(s) a more free, open-minded and optimistic view on life. Allowing one to productively fulfilling the steps to achieving one’s dreams and heart desires. However, this journey all begins with us taking on self-accountability and eliminating procrastination.
