<h2><strong>Procrastination 101 -
Don’t do it Now – Put it on Your
List
</strong> </h2>
<h3>Summary</h3>
<p>Do you have a “To
Do” list?<br />
Do you
constantly have trouble completing your “To
Do” list?<br />
Here are some
of the BEST hints I’ve ever heard about how
to tackle something
that seems to be innate in most humans –
Procrastination!</p>
<p>Read on to find the BEST hint about this I
have ever heard about how to tackle
Procrastination
……</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 />
“LIST OF THINGS TO DO”, <br
/>
then don’t waste your time reading this.</p>
<p>Procrastination………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 –
<strong>‘read this list’</strong>.
<br />
I mean to say
…….</p>
<p>I am happy to report that I am getting over
this ‘List Addiction’</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….</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’t.
I
don’t think I need to spell out the outcome
40 years later….</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 ‘Things To
Do’, 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’s list of things to do
– <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 – 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’t move you directly towards our goal
– down to the
bottom of the list they go. <br
/>
It means
things like – don’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 ‘urgent
things’. 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 –
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 – <strong>do it
NOW</strong>.
<br />
That’s it, that’s all. Don’t
put it on the list to look at
over and over again. Just get it out of the way now
– and out of your
head so that it doesn’t take up valuable
space.</p>
<p>Now you will have some time to really work on
getting clear about your goals.</p>
