How to overcome Procrastination?

 

 

 Procrastination is one of the main barriers blocking us from getting up, making the right decisions and living the dream life we've thought of.

Recent studies have shown that people regret more the things they haven't done than the things they have done. In addition, feelings of regret and guilt resulting from missed opportunities tend to stay with people much longer.

Sometimes all our opportunities seem to be on our fingertips, but we can't seem to reach them. When we procrastinate, we waste time that we could be investing in something meaningful. If we can overcome this fierce enemy, we will be able to accomplish more and in doing so better utilize the potential that life has to offer.

Do you want how to overcome procrastination? If yes,here's the tips:

I'm giving here 5 tips how to overcome procrastination, which is inspired from the books by BRIAN MITCHELL,"Procrastination, How to overcome procrastination and start doing what truly matters."

Tips no.1: Get clear about what you want in life.

  

Procrastinators, you'll love this!

Take 20-30 minutes to do this quick goal planning exercise.

Write down all your goals in some or all of these categories: career, education, relationships, financial, physical, mindset, creative, spiritual, public service, travel, leisure, and other. 

Once you have your list, then whittle it down to your top 10, then down to your top 5, and then your top3.

Do this by asking yourself,"Can i live without this?"

Let your less important goals lie dormant on a "maybe" list that you can check on again and again in a few months. Focus on important tasks first.

Tips no.2: Tidy up your to-do list.

 

 

 

 Delete or delegate from your to-do list those things that you don't relate to your top 3-5 goals.

Just say bye bye. And don't look back!

This is important to better time management because with limited time, it's important to do only things that matter most, but not every single tasks at hand.

Tips no.3: Link tasks you don't like to your goals.

 

 It helps to mentally (and in writing) tie these tasks to one of your main goals or values. this helps you to remind yourself how each task is related to the big picture.

For example, "keeping a tidy and clean home and desk allows me to have clarity of mind which is something I highly value. By having clarity of mind I will be better able to work on my goals and have less anxiety."

By linking the task to the pleasure of being able to think clearly, I now have a reason that will motivate me to take action.

Tips no.4: Plan your day each day

 This is not a big task. It should only take about 10-15 minutes of quiet time.

Do the most difficult and most important things first and work your way down to the easier stuff in the afternoon. you'll feel really good if you do this.

Focus on that to motivate  you to wait to check email and such until after you've finished your first big task.

 Tips no.5: Believe in yourself and in your ability to accomplish anything you want.

 If you've lost hope, know that you can turn things around.

Release the fear of failure. Failure is just a learning experience.

Slow and steady wins the race. A little bit done every day adds up to a lot over a year.

If you have to, just fake your believe until it becomes real. Remember, you can do it!
