It is a bad habit that suck time out of our day instead of making the most of every moment. Procrastination is often the enemy of success. Following is a simple three step plan of action to move past this bad habit.

1) WHEN
Admit when you are procrastinating. Knowing when you are doing it will help you figure out why you are doing it.

2) WHY
There are two common reasons why we don't want to do a particular task. it is a disagreeable task or the task is simple too overwhelming. Knowing which reason will aid in determining your course of action.

3) WHAT
If you find a task disagreeable, but it simple must be done, determine a reward for when it's done such as a couple of biscuits with your coffee or a half hour magazine break. The reward can be as elaborate or as simple as you like as long as it motivates you to address the task at hand.

If you find the task overwhelming, break the task down into smaller tasks, say ten tasks and address each smaller task individually.

Remember what John Wanamaker said
ONE MAY WALK OVER THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN ONE STEP AT A TIME



I do not take credit for the above. It's something that is on my wardrobe as I have a HUGE problem with procrastination.
