Avoid the # 1 enemy......Procrastination...
 


Is your procrastination related to a project? or is it a habit?

To remedy procrastination:

Begin with one, modest project
Answer these basic questions
Keep the answers before you as you mark your progress:

What do you want to do?

  • What is the final objective, the end result?
    It may be obvious, or not

  • What are the major steps to get there?
    Don't get too detailed:  think big

  • What have you done so far?
    Acknowledge that you are already part of the way, 
    even if it is through thinking!  
    The longest journey begins with a first step

Why do you want to do this?

  • What is your biggest motivation?
    Do not concern yourself if your motivation is negative!
    This is honest and a good beginning.  
    However, if your motivation is negative, 
    re-phrase and re-work it until it is phrased positively

  • What other positive results will flow from achieving your goal?
    Identifying these will help you uncover 
    benefits that you may be avoiding:  Dare to dream!

List out what stands in your way

  • What is in your power to change?

  • What resources outside yourself do you need?
    Resources are not all physical (i.e. tools and money), 
    and include time, people/professionals/elders, even attitude

  • What will happen if you don't progress?
    It won't hurt to scare yourself a little...

Create a simple "To Do" list
This simple program will help you identify a few items, the reason for doing them, a timeline for getting them done, and then printing this simple list and posting it for reminders.

Develop your plan, list

  • Major, realistic steps
    A project is easier when it is built in stages;
    Start small;
    Add detail and complexity as you achieve and grow

  • How much time each will take
    A schedule helps you keep a progress chart 
    and reinforce that there are way-stations on your path

  • What time of day, week, etc. you dedicate yourself
    to work.  This helps you
    develop a new habit of working,
    build a good work environment, and
    distance distractions(It is much easier to enjoy your project when distractions are set aside.)

  • Rewards you will have at each station
    and also what you will deny yourself until you arrive at each station

  • Build in time for review
    Find a trusted friend, elder, or expert to help you 
    motivate yourself or monitor progress

Admit to:

  • False starts and mistakes as learning experiences
    They can be more important than successes, 
    and give meaning to "experience"

  • Distractions and escapes
    Do not deny they exist, but deny their temptation

  • Emotion
    Admit to frustration when things don't seem to be going right
    Admit that you have had a problem, but also that you are doing something about it

  • Fantasy
    See yourself succeeding

Finally, if procrastination is a habit of yours:
Focus on the immediate task and project, and build up from there.
Each journey begins with one step.

I work better under pressure so procrastination is somewhat a disadvantage and an advantage to me.
