Procrastination
If you’ve found yourself putting off important tasks over and over
again, you’re not alone. In fact, many people procrastinate to some
degree-but some are so chronically affected by procrastination that it
stops them fulfilling their potential and disrupts their careers.
The key to controlling this destructive habit is to recognize when you
start procrastinating, understand why it happens (even to the best of
us), and take active steps to manage your time and outcomes better.
What is Procrastination?
In a nutshell, you procrastinate when you put off things that you should
be focusing on right now, usually in favor of doing something that is
more enjoyable or that you’re more comfortable doing.
If you're procrastinating because you're disorganized, here's how to get organized!
Keep a To-Do list so that you can’t “conveniently” forget about unpleasant or overwhelming tasks.
Use an Urgent/Important Matrix to help prioritize your to-do list so
that you can’t try to kid yourself that it would be acceptable to put
off doing something on the grounds that it’s unimportant, or that you
have many urgent things which ought to be done first when, in reality,
you’re procrastinating.
Become a master of scheduling and project planning, so that you know when to start those all-important projects.
Set yourself time-bound goals: that way, you’ll have no time for procrastination!
Focus on one task at a time.
If you're putting off starting a project because you find it overwhelming, you need to take a different approach.
Here are some tips:
Break the project into a set of smaller, more manageable tasks. You may
find it helpful to create an action plan. Start with some quick, small
tasks if you can, even if these aren't the logical first actions. You'll
feel that you're achieving things, and so perhaps the whole project
won't be so overwhelming
If you’re procrastinating because you find the task unpleasant: Many procrastinators overestimate the unpleasantness of a task.
So give it a try! You'll find that it’s not as bad as you thought!
after all.
LETTING IT GO
Have you been dumped, betrayed or left so heartbroken that you didn't
ever want to love again? Are you still stuck on an ex and don't know how
to move on? And how do you know when it's time to let go and look for
love somewhere else?
Are your standards too low? "What is it about you that causes you to
settle for somebody that you know will cheat on you, know will lie to
you, know will make a commitment and then break it? What is it about you
that you believe about yourself that you're willing to settle for
that?"Recognize that you're settling and that you deserve more. Set a
higher standard for yourself.
Chances are you're longing for the relationship that you wish it could
be, and that you want to be in love with the person you wish they were.
"There are times when you break up with somebody and you start missing
them and you start thinking about all the good things and then you're
back with them for about 10 minutes and you go 'Oh yeah! Now I remember
why I hate you!'"Don't kid yourself about what it was really like or
glorify the past.
Don't wait around because you think they are going to change. The best
predictor of future behavior is past behavior- Smith Michael
Don't put your life on hold. Every minute you spend focusing on your ex
is a minute that's holding you back from a better future. As long as you
are obsessed with your ex, you will never put your heart, soul and mind
into getting your life in order and starting another relationship if
you want one.
"Set some goals and start putting your life back together. Ask yourself:
Are. you hiding in the relationship so you don't have to face the
reality of being on your own? Don't stay with someone because it's
comfortable and safe. It may seem more secure, but it's not healthy for
you and it certainly won't help you get to a better place. Why would you
want to settle and waste your life away just to avoid getting back in
the game?
Make that perfect move now and just ''LET IT GO''.
CHOICES
What
is the single force that shapes the quality of our lives? What power
do we have that can change everything? As you and I both know, the
answer is the power of choice.
I've had the unique
opportunity to see people in the midst of real challenges, whether its
the professional athlete who wants to regain his competitive edge, the
business leader who wants to expand her influence or the political
leader who struggles with a difficult decision. I may not have all the
answers (who does?), but after working with so many people and
observing the patterns that make them succeed or fail, one thing I am
sure of is this: It is our decisions, not our conditions, that
determine the quality of our lives.
Take a look at your
own life. Are you where you want to be? Are you as healthy or
financially secure or as happy in your relationships as you would like
to be? Or, even if things are going well, are you looking for that
extra edge to retain the competitive advantage? Perhaps you feel that
in spite of your success, there’s more out there for you, but for some
reason, you haven't grasped it yet. Your first instinct may be to blame
the economy, or the housing market, or someone who has treated you
unfairly.
Before we go any further, we need to
understand that we are where we are today because of the decisions
we've made—decisions about what to focus on, decisions about where to
place our priorities, decisions about what things mean and decisions
about what to do. For example, if your business or career has been
affected by the recession, do you feel that you are being punished or
challenged to find a new path? What are you going to do about it? Are
you going to give up or give more? No matter what we have experienced
in the past, our history is not our destiny—we all have the power to
make new decisions today.
Here’s another way to look at it:
Success is a result of good judgment; good judgment is a result of
experience, in most cases. And what about experience? Yes, experience
is most often a result of bad judgment.
So here’s the good news:
The experience gained from bad judgment and bad decisions is
unbelievably valuable—it’s priceless! So don’t waste time beating
yourself up over poor decisions you’ve made; learn from the
experiences. Really, failure is actually one of the best ways we learn.
When people succeed, they celebrate. When they fail, they ponder. They
stop and think, What happened here? What could I have done differently?
It’s only through self-evaluation that we learn how to make better
decisions. So, when you make mistakes, learn from them; use your
experience to improve your judgment and make better decisions.
WELCOME TO TRIADNET
We spend huge chunks of our lives immersed in novels, films, TV shows, and other forms of fiction. Some see this as a positive thing, arguing that made-up stories cultivate our mental and moral development. But others have argued that fiction is mentally and ethically corrosive. It’s an ancient question: Does fiction build the morality of individuals and societies, or does it break it down?
