A little something that I wanted to share on getting over procrastination.
It’s hard to change everything at once; just the thought of it turns most people off. But we can all take baby steps… Make a chart using the categories below. TASK – CATEGORY It’s hard to change everything at once; just the thought of it turns most people off. But we can all take baby steps…
Make a chart using the categories below.
TASK – CATEGORY-PLAN – ACTUAL – GAP
Write down the tasks you want to finish and when you plan to finish them. When the job is done, record the actual date and time. In the Gap slot, write down the difference between hope and reality.
This will show you, precisely, how long you put off certain jobs or tasks. Your only job then is to shrink the gap. You don’t have to change everything at once. Just take baby steps.
Work to shave minutes, hours, or days from your time.
Example: You are a business and have to file quarterly taxes. You know the due dates, so you write in the hope-to-finish-by-dates as one week before. You actually finish each return three, six, two, and four days before. Your gap is 13 days. Next year, don’t try to zero the gap. Just get below 13.
Soon enough you’ll recognize progress others miss. And that progress will keep you going where others quit.Make It Simple Sometimes you need a knock to the head. No talk, no explanation, just a knock.
Here’s yours: 1. Realize you’re procrastinating. 2. Uncover your reasons for doing it. 3. Counter those reasons-why are they wrong? 4. Get to work.
So…get to work.
