Kick
the Procrastination Habit
by Maria Gracia
"I’ll get to it--when I get a chance."
You know what that means, don’t you? You’ll never get to it! Here
are 8 simple ways to kick the procrastination habit and start getting
things done.
- BREAK IT DOWN. Seem overwhelming? Don’t look at
everything as one big project. Break goals, projects or tasks down
into small parts. Assign a specific deadline (date and time) to each
part.
- WRITE IT DOWN. Make it official by recording on paper, what
needs to be done. When it's written down, it's more concrete, and
there's a greater chance you'll start and complete it.
- TELL SOMEONE. Tell a friend, associate or loved one what
your plans are. Discuss decisions that need to be made with others.
Ask a friend or associate for some ongoing motivation. Sometimes an
outside perspective may be all you need to get started.
- SCHEDULE. Establish a regular time each day to work on your
goal, project or task.
- USE PROPER TOOLS. Organize your environment, complete with
the tools you need, so it is conducive to working.
- POST REMINDERS. Keep your goals in front of you. Post
reminders of your goals and deadlines where you can constantly see
them.
- I'LL ONLY DO THIS, IF I COMPLETE . . . Make something you
normally do and enjoy contingent upon doing the avoided task. For
example: "I will not watch my favorite television program until
I complete Part A of my project." -- By the way, no fair
cheating!! :-)
- SET REWARDS. Set rewards for your ultimate goals and
mini-goals. You’ll constantly have something enjoyable to look
forward to.
