When I set for this Erasmus adventure, one of my goals was to travel! As much as I can, as far as I can! I did not make it that far, but I do think I had my fair share of travel! Apart from that, with my friends being on Erasmus too – one in Paris and one in Barcelona, my goal was to see them both and so, visit these pretty cities that they both went too. If you are following me on Facebook on Instagram, you would know that I got away for almost a week in Barcelona, and had a reunion with my friends. I came back to Belgium on Tuesday, and on Wednesday, one of them, my bestie, joined me and so we enjoyed some more time together! Ever since I came from Barcelona I had a reboost of energy, and now I feel it even more! Which is weird, because if there is something that I did not have these past weeks, it’s sleep! But then I realized, energy does not come only from sleep, energy comes from people too, and it is so important to be surrounded by people that would give you that good energy and that positive vibe!

Did I do them all? No. So, why is that? I had the conditions, the motivating mood and all the resources needed to do my work. However, I did not achieve all my goals. This is where our good, old friend, always there for you, always ready to help comes in : PROCRASTINATION. And next thing you know, you find yourself scrolling through Instagram, loading an episode of a series because you deserve a “break” or even staring at the sky through the window, meditating over and over again about your life. Because yes, this is the perfect time to do that. Oh, and all that paper mess you left on your desk for a while now, you suddenly can’t stand anymore and you are absolutely not capable of starting work until everything is clean and shiny, everything. Do you recognize yourself? I thought so. This is why I decided to write this article and call it out, because this needs to stop, because it is stopping us from being well organized, and ultimately, achieving our goals. So, what do we do?
