What are the tips for fighting complacency? Please I really need some tips from you friends. I get satisfied by writing just one article here and there and a lot of my time is then wasted doing other things that are irrelevant. I know I am trying. But still I need some input from you, friends!

I also try to evade what I need to do and I waste my time doing not so important things. Idecided this New Year that I`d take one thing at a time and to set one single goal for myself. After reaching it, I`d go on with another. I know I can do anything that I set my mind to, but I`m lazy. So, maybe this one by one thing works. I hope so.

Oh so that is your New Year resolution? That was certainly a good thought. That didn't strike me before. But even if it's late, I will try to abide by this thing as if I made that resolution a couple of weeks back. As you have mentioned about your goals, I also set goals for myself and see to it that how much I can realize them. It is a good thing to compete with oneself. That laziness is to be overcome and then we can certainly win the world.

Maybe if we go step by step, we won`t be so frustrated by the lenght of the task but we will be happy for the small things we have accomplished

I believe that it ain't that hard to fight complacency.With a little effort you can change your attitude towards things.I guess if you get satisfied with the little effort you put in and with bad results then that is totally false satisfaction. You just make a routine that you will always give in a little extra every time you stop to something and then gradually it will become a habit.

You are right - it's the attitude that matters the most. Since the last 3-4 days, I am trying hard to change this attitude and I am having a bit success in doing it. I have written some decent articles since last Sunday and they have been paid off as expected. I just need to continue to see how far I can go with the same attitude. I am exactly trying to do what you said - doing that little bit of extra, actually I was trying the same even before I had even started this discussion. And I am happy you came up with the same thoughts as me.
