Help me fight complacency

I have found out that the reason of my below par performance is complacency. Even after writing one article, I get complacent. How do I fight this complacent nature? Can anyone give me some tips, please?

See the details of few successful bloggers here. You will see your complacency melts away in no time

I have already seen some of them and they are indeed inspiring and I am not saying this at face value. But I really need practical tips, please. :(

In order to be practical, go on giving your best. Don't look for others approval.

I am doing a very deliberate and conscious effort of that. I have been writing more for the past 2-3 days than before. I hope I will be more consistent and a bit greedy too :evil:

I don't ay greedy. I call it a 'Killer instinct.'

Yes, calling it the 'killer instinct' would be a better word. Thanks for the correction. I hope to install that instinct in me.

I think that you should note down article and story idea whenever you get. Then write one article or story concentrating on that only. Then read the article well and ensure its quality and accuracy before submission. Then take some break and forget about what you have done. Go to the next and complete similarly. No need to bother about what you have done. Just go ahead. Rest if you must. Then go ahead.

Some great thoughts here I must say. I needs one to forget and continue with the job at hand irrespective of what we get in return. Working without the thoughts of fruits is what the Gita has taught us. Great thinking...

Good work is its own reward. More than quantity, ensure quality. If you write quality posts and quality articles, you will definitely get recognition. This requires that you should neither haste nor waste time.

That's well said. Good work is a reward in itself. If there is the work that interests us, we do not need to do it like a burden. The work happens on its own. They say, do the job you love, or you will be forced to love the job you do.

We need to take a keen interest in what we are doing and motivate ourselves to fight complacency and by the way , all of us human beings do get affected by it at some stage or the other- it is just a matter of overcoming it and getting back on track...

Love your job. If you love your job, you get kindled on your own. In case of hurdles and road blocks, brush them away and shoot ahead. Here you will find the goal walked towards you , not the other way round.

That is right. We automatically get interested in the thing that we love and have interest in. We don't feel the pains at such times. By the way, writing is one thing that I love and I am sure that I will grow up to understand being more responsible.

It is not the question of not loving my job. On the contrary, I cannot think my life without wording any thoughts. Even if I am active on a forum like this, it satisfies me. The problem is that I get involved in other things online when I am supposed to write. That is the only thing I want to work on.

Just get the monkey of complacency off your back by convincing yourself that you have not written any article at all and you have to write one!!

I am hearing such a compliment for someone for the first time ever on a forum. I really need to keep a close watch now. :P

Even I have the same problem at least when I think of writing articles. :laugh:

You might have been able to avoid writing homework with such brilliant excuses as a child :lol: ?
