Over the horizon line by V1rgil by V1rgil


It was a cloudy afternoon unpromising, but I and a friend set off the same hoping that something came out.
We arrived studied the place, an area where we could bring home something interesting. The first thing we saw was a big rough seas, high waves which progressed an interesting scene, while the early sky was left desired.
Climbing over the rocks, my friend saw an interesting area, he ventures while not me: P I stay in my place, the waves were too high, dangerous, and I did not want to go there a coincidence, while my friend was about to drive out the camera comes the wave where the high wet from head to toe and I laughed like crazy xD.
Ognu’uno remains in place waiting for the sunset, and suddenly the sky starts to color, to aprisi creating a magical atmosphere, check the star of the sun as the icing on the cake a sight to see, fortunately I found myself in the right place at the right time, that scene lasted just 3 shots.
We were lucky speaking of photography, giving us a unique sunset, but the misadventure begins now.
Towards the end of the photographic day, my friend who used to clean the filter that has been wet and dried out constantly because of the sea splashing, unwilling, cleaning it for the last time it splits in two.
I went down, I was on near the seashore, I saw an interesting glimpse, with small rocks can make the blue hour.
My little attention has meant that putting down the stand and not holding it with my hands a long wave, made me drop the stand in the water and with it my Canon 7D.
Unfortunately fù nothing to do my room was broken, my 7D gave me one last shot before you tell me goodbye.
After a year and a half with it now step in Nikon D610, hoping that I will be luckier and that will give me other emotions.
Greetings to all hello 🙂

Era un pomeriggio nuvoloso poco promettente, ma io e un’amico partimmo lo stesso sperando che qualcosa uscisse.
Arrivati studiammo il posto, una zona dove potevamo portarci a casa qualcosa d’interessante. La prima cosa che vedemmo era un grande mare mosso, onde altissime il che rendevamo una scena interessante, mentre il cielo all’inizio si lasciava desiderare.
Salendo sopra gli scogli, il mio amico vide una zona interessante, lui si avventura mentre io no 😛 rimango al mio posto, le onde erano troppo alte, pericolose non mi andava di andarci e manco a farlo apposta , mentre il mio amico stava per cacciare la fotocamera gli arriva un’onda altissima dove lo bagna dalla testa ai piedi e io a ridere come il matto xD.
Ognu’uno rimane al suo posto aspettando il tramonto e all’improvviso il cielo inizia a colorarsi, ad aprisi creando un’atmosfera magica, spunta la stellina del sole come la ciliegina sulla torta uno spettacolo da vedere, fortuna mi trovai al posto giusto e al momento giusto, quella scena durò giusto per 3 scatti.
Fummo fortunati parlando di fotografia, regalandoci un tramonto unico, ma la disavventura inizia ora.
Verso la fine della giornata fotografica, il mio amico per pulire il filtro che usava che è stato bagnato e asciugato di continuo causa degli schizzi del mare, non volendo, pulendolo per l’ultima volta lo spacca in due.
Io scesi , mi trovai sui pressi della riva del mare, intravidi uno scorcio interessante, con delle piccole rocce da poter fare un’ora blu.
La mia poca attenzione ha fatto si che mettendo il cavalletto basso e non reggendolo con me mani un’onda lunga, mi fece cadere il cavalletto in acqua e con essa la mia Canon 7D.
Purtroppo non ci fù niente da fare la mia camera si ruppe, la mia 7D mi regalò un’ultimo scatto prima di dirmi addio.

4 Thoughts to Stop Procrastinating Instantly

4 Thoughts to Stop Procrastinating Instantly

beat procrastination

“Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.”

– Benjamin Franklin

Procrastination delays life. It’s a major reason for shame and self-frustration. Sometimes, we wonder why we can’t just do what we need to do. The answer is simple, but it isn’t quite as simple as “just do it.”

Not many realize this, but with deep roots that tie into perfectionism, procrastination is impervious to most surface-level attempts to thwart it. It is not a motivation problem. To stop procrastinating, we must think very targeted thoughts that attack its roots. Here are five thoughts that stop procrastination from the source!

1. “It can be flawed.”

Say you’re procrastinating on writing your book. It’s probably because you want the book to be really good. A secret that all seasoned writers know is that the first draft is never pretty. This creates a dichotomy between what you can do and what you want to do. Until this discordance is resolved, you’ll stay inactive.

To empower yourself to do amazing things in life and to conquer procrastination most of the time, all you have to do is give yourself explicit permission to be and act imperfectly. This closes the gap between what you want to do and what you can do and enables you to take action.

Procrastination is rooted in perfectionism, so when you stop aiming for perfection, the floodgates of productivity will open for you. Try it and you’ll see.

2. “What’s one good thing I can do right now?”

Procrastinators are perfectionists, and one way that substantiates is the desire to choose the very best task. With nearly unlimited options, trying to pick the best course of action can paralyze us. By thinking in terms of something good you can do right now, you take off some of the pressure to make the perfect decision.

Doing something good beats thinking about doing something great.

3. “How can I make this easier?”

The solutions so far have been targeted thoughts to decrease internal resistance to action. One of the most basic ways to decrease resistance is to make your target behavior easier. And the best way to do that is to shrink it!

  • Instead of aiming to write 2,000 words, aim for 50 (you can always write more).
  • Instead of pressuring yourself to find a wife, try to find a friend.
  • Rather than attempting to build a profitable business, attempt to sell one item or service.

Everything is accomplished in steps.

“Small steps are not weak, they are precise.”

~ From Mini Habits

4. “Process and progress are everything.”

The final, potent procrastination-killing thought attacks result-based thinking. When we get too focused on obtaining a certain result, we lose sight of the process. This is lethal to our success! 

For example, if you’re obsessed with getting a six pack, then you’ll think about how one workout today isn’t enough to accomplish that. If you’re obsessed with having a New York Times bestselling book, all of your marketing attempts will seem futile. Ultimately, this discourages positive action and causes procrastination.

Forget about the result you want from your actions. Switch your attention to the process—what steps will lead you to a better place than you are now? When you focus on the process, you’ll make the most progress, and progress in any amount is worth celebrating! Life is challenging, and to be the type of person who is constantly moving forward will set you apart.

Most people wrestle with procrastination every day and they can’t figure out how to beat it. Day after day, they let their perfectionism, massive goals, and results-based thinking prevent them from taking simple steps to improve their lives. Think these four thoughts when procrastinating, and you’ll watch your resistance melt before your eyes like a snowman in Florida.

  1. What’s one good thing I can do right now?
  2. It can be flawed.
  3. How can I make it easier?
  4. Process and progress are everything (don’t worry about the result).
