<h2><strong>Procrastination 101 - Don&#8217;t do it Now &#8211; Put it on Your

  List </strong> </h2>

<h3>Summary</h3>

<p>Do you have a &#8220;To Do&#8221; list?<br />

  Do you constantly have trouble completing your &#8220;To Do&#8221; list?<br />

  Here are some of the BEST hints I&#8217;ve ever heard about how to tackle something

  that seems to be innate in most humans &#8211; Procrastination!</p>

<p>Read on to find the BEST hint about this I have ever heard about how to tackle

  Procrastination &#8230;&#8230;</p>

<p>If you are really well organised, get things done in a timely manner, and do

  <strong>NOT</strong> have a huge undoable list called: <br />

  &#8220;LIST OF THINGS TO DO&#8221;, <br />

  then don&#8217;t waste your time reading this.</p>

<p>Procrastination&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;I am really well qualified to write on

  this topic, because I have been known to not only have a list of things to do,

  but in that same list I have even written &#8211; <strong>&#8216;read this list&#8217;</strong>.

  <br />

  I mean to say &#8230;&#8230;.</p>

<p>I am happy to report that I am getting over this &#8216;List Addiction&#8217;</p>

<p>If this strikes a cord with you, then I have discovered the best hint ever.

  I am not kidding; this has really helped me&#8230;.</p>

<h3><strong>Procrastinate no longer.</strong></h3>

<p>We are nearly all aware these days of the importance of goal setting. <br />

  Surely you have read about the Harvard study of a class of young men, a generation

  ago now. Some of whom wrote very clear goals, and some of them didn&#8217;t.

  I don&#8217;t think I need to spell out the outcome 40 years later&#8230;.</p>

<p>So you probably have goals, I hope you do; and have even written them down.

  We know that goal setting and being very focused about our dream is crucial.

  <br />

  But while you are busy, busy with a list of &#8216;Things To Do&#8217;, a list

  often of trivial things, you are not really focussing at all. </p>

<p>So what is the BEST hint for Procrastinators?<br />

  This is it. From today&#8217;s list of things to do &#8211; <strong>PRIORITISE</strong>,

  look at those tasks and put them in order of importance. <br />

  Start with Number 1 and do it until it is done. Then and only then can you allow

  yourself to move on to Number 2.</p>

<p>Prioritise &#8211; what does that really mean? <br />

  It means put at the top of the list the <strong>MOST IMPORTANT</strong> things

  that will lead you towards your goal.</p>

<p>And all those silly little tasks you put on your list that are easy to do,

  and that don&#8217;t move you directly towards our goal &#8211; down to the

  bottom of the list they go. <br />

  It means things like &#8211; don&#8217;t go checking your emails every 5 minutes

  to see if something new has arrived, no nipping out for a coffee every so often,

  instead of doing another task.</p>

<p>It means doing the important things and <strong>NOT</strong> the &#8216;urgent

  things&#8217;. It means not jumping to fill in a survey that was sent to you,

  or fixing up something for the person who shouts the loudest. It means not putting

  off something that seems a bit uncomfortable &#8211; just get on with it. <br />

  Once you start, then you will see what the next step will be.</p>

<p>Bonus Hint Number 2<br />

  If there is a 2 minute job (or less) that pops up &#8211; <strong>do it NOW</strong>.

  <br />

  That&#8217;s it, that&#8217;s all. Don&#8217;t put it on the list to look at

  over and over again. Just get it out of the way now &#8211; and out of your

  head so that it doesn&#8217;t take up valuable space.</p>

<p>Now you will have some time to really work on getting clear about your goals.</p>
