I am Destiny, and my previous state could be compared to the aftermath of a wrecking ball. Hardly you would come across someone as fearful and anxious as I was, and the scariest thing about it was that I had no prior case of anxiety issues medically, but I was gradually developing one.
My relationship with procrastination was a tightly-fitted bond resulting from the fear I had allowed to fester in my mind. I had worked as a data entry operator for five years, and about three years in, I suffered a devastating loss that shook my life. I lost a huge investment I had, and it felt like my life was ending. It first started with a sense of emptiness, but fear crept in when I began trying to move on with life. The fear of failure grew, and with it came the unwillingness to try to do anything.
As a mother of two, my home front has suffered from this problem. I'd procrastinate doing chores due to the fear of failing to do them well and being labeled as a bad wife and a terrible mom. My work also suffered, and I would pile up tasks because I felt overwhelmed. I fell behind on tasks, missed deadlines, and received many queries at work. Depression was seeping in little by little, which I could barely control. I was losing myself until I came across the Today Is The Day app.
The Defining Moment: Finding TodayIsTheDay App
Three years later and still struggling, I decided to quit my data entry job and go fully into freelancing. It was a tough period for me. My husband was highly supportive and tried to help me out a number of times. He'd buy books for me to read, search for videos on self-help against procrastination and handle the fear of failure, and encourage me with words. He did his best to follow up on me as I worked on myself using the tips I learned, but after a while, I'd revert to the status quo. He didn't give up on me. That was how he stumbled upon the TodayIsTheDay app.
He came across an ad for the app on a website and did a little research on it. He told me he was first skeptical about it because the reviews sounded too good to be true, but finding a solution for me was his priority, and there was no harm in trying. He got the app, and we'd go through the lessons together as we did with the videos.
After a couple of lessons, I became hooked. The simple and engaging lessons gave me a new perspective on my fear problems and revealed practical ways to overcome them. Soon, I became the one who reminded my husband it was time to engage in the daily app lessons, something he was doing at first. It was until he pointed out some changes in me that I knew the lessons had done something to me.
Life with TodayIsTheDay App
I found myself enjoying the daily lessons because of how much of an eye-opener it was. The lessons dig deep into the "hows" and "whys" of procrastination and give practical insights on how to deal with it. Due to how engaging the lessons were, I absorbed the information. There was always something new to learn each time I spent on the app.
The questionnaire at the end of each lesson helped me understand why I struggled with being productive at home and work, and I soon found myself adjusting. I saw myself facing the fears head-on, and they soon lost their power over me. The questionnaires were self-reflective, helping me to become self-aware of the areas I was getting wrong. Armed with this knowledge, I took control of my life back.
I am not there yet, but proud of how far I have come. I'm more productive than I have been in years. My husband is proud, my kids are happy, and my work doesn't suffer. I'm happier, less anxious, and more eager to meet my tasks.
Final Thoughts
Fear of failure, procrastination and its byproduct is gradually becoming a thing of the past, thanks to the app. It was a battle I thought I could never win due to their tight grip on my life.
I am excited to tell my story of where I am coming from and how much I have achieved since signing up to this course. It has helped me become reliable and competent. I urge you to try the app if you are someone who has been losing the battle against procrastination and fear.
