Procrastination is the root of unachieved dreams and success. It’s the most important factor between you and the prize you’ve set your eyes on. But somehow it’s difficult to eliminate it.
For some reason, you may be magnetized by delaying the tasks at hand. The sense that there’s enough time to get things done can be misleading. It can be the difference between celebrated success and shattered dreams.
End procrastination once and for all by slowly taking some steps towards a renewed approach:
- Prioritize opportunities. If something isn’t important to you, you’ll probably spend very little time trying to achieve it. That reality is the basis of your priority list. The achievements that really matter most belong at the top. Everything else can fall whenever. And that might even mean falling off the list!
- Focus on the things that give you the most inner joy and happiness. Never mind what popular opinion thinks. If something gives you butterflies every time you think about it, that’s what you want to work towards.
- Once your list is in place, start at the very top. The most important thing deserves the most attention. You’re guaranteed ultimate satisfaction once you achieve it!
- Break down tasks into achievable bits. It’s easy to put things off because they seem too overwhelming. Your natural instinct may be to shy away from things that are too complex. You can fix this by breaking down your tasks. This makes the prize seem more attainable.
- Set very small tasks. You may even want to make them daily tasks. Give yourself some time each day to work towards something.
Once you’ve checked something off your list, you’ll be one step closer to the prize. The feeling of progress is incomparable!
