Its years gone now and not one move have you made, instead you've had accumulated months of wishful thinking.
When exactly are you going to do it?
Oh, at the right time you're saying? Am sorry to announce to you, that phrase is a SCAM, there's no such thing, you really must make a time right.
Procrastination is a sickness of the; high and mighty, small and lowly, young and old, saint or sinner,rich or poor. Its got no bounds, it respects no limits. There exist a common saying that; "Procrastination Is The Thief of Time", but re-branding this, I'll submit that; "Procrastination Is The Thief of Life", for it steals your life right before your watchful eyes. It does it so cynically, you hardly realize you losing anything.
Like that common African folklore that pictures the mouse as eating a part of you and blowing you cool air to the surface of that part of you being eating, soothing you to sleep the more while it rids you of your members. If there be anything to stand your guard against, it must be this criminal called "Procrastination".
Having related with my long time mentor and idol, Dr Dennis Waitely, I present to you this day, 7-techniques to overcoming the giant PROCRASTINATION.
Here we go:
1. Take five minutes to identify what you are putting off…
On a blank sheet of paper, note several important activities that you realize you are delaying or have put on hold.
2. Look at your list of tasks and do one of them right now…
Put the energy you've been directing toward excuses into the activity you've been avoiding. You'll discover that action eliminates anxiety.
3. If getting started is the hard part for you, set a designated time slot in the day to work on the list…
Set aside thirty minutes of your lunch hour for work specifically on one job, project, or personal goal that you've been avoiding or find difficult to start.
4. Don't worry about perfection…
What counts is quality of effort, not perfect results. Don't let yourself get bogged down with a preoccupation for perfectionism.
5. If what you are putting off involves other people, consult with them…
Your reasons for delaying action may be imaginary. Lack of communication often turns molehills into mountains.
6. If you fear the consequences associated with the action you've been avoiding, ask yourself, What's the worst thing that could happen If I did this today?
The worst-case scenario most likely would be a minor inconvenience or a temporary setback.
7. Finally, Vividly picture how you'll feel once the task is done.
Freedom from anxiety. Freedom from nagging pressures. Freedom from self-doubt. Accomplishing put-off tasks will give you a great boost of confidence and energy!
