9 ways to overcome procrastination for ultimate success
by Guest Tickler Filed under Life Skills, Motivation, Personal Growth, Power of the mind, Time Management
Achieving success is something a lot of people want, but they suffer from a disease called procrastination. When you want to be successful and change in your life you need to overcome procrastination as soon as possible.
Here are a few ways to overcome it:
1. Break down goals into smaller more realistic goals. Say if your goal is to make a million dollars, start with a goal of $20,000 a month. When you have $200,000 you are much closer to the million, but it’s till far away, so you need to make a new goal, maybe $30,000 a month and knowing you can make $20,000 a month makes it easier for you to believe you can make $30,000 month than if you make $10,000 a month. Understand? Good!
2. Create a ‘to do’ list every single day and finish urgent tasks you have not built up the confidence or had time to do. So creating that ‘to do’ list now and start chopping away, without distraction is an amazing thing that really helps.
3. Have a bigger picture in mind. This means you know what you want and believe you can get it. So if you spend that 15 minutes to do something IMPORTANT that you know you wouldn’t have else done, you are ahead 95% of the people out there, meaning you are closer to success than you think.
4. Stop doing counterproductive tasks when you have something more important to do. Say NO to people who interrupt you in the middle of work, and be sure to complete smaller goals before moving on to bigger things. Do the hard work first, that way it feels like REST when you actually do the smaller tasks!
5. Be ready for problems and obstacles on your road to success. Like any terrain out there, there is never a straight road to the final destination, especially if it’s a long road, so be sure to move on ahead when you hit the “brick wall”.
6. Motivate yourself with treats upon completion of bigger goals. Yes, go to that restaurant you have wanted to go to when you finish the day, and make sure you overtip… That way you get all your money back and more the next day, cause you fulfilled your inner self first!
7. Keep reasonable deadlines. This removes the thought of having all the time in the world to complete a task, meaning you usually never do them. Instead say how soon it needs to be done and do it, do not procrastinate on this part.
8. Break free from the procrastination habit. Procrastination is a BAD habit that you want to break, so doing something the same for 30 days will eliminate the procrastination process and program in a go getter attitude into your mind. Try it!
9. Ignore procrastinating tasks. Don’t be afraid to fail. Everybody fails when trying to be successful. Be strong and confident about your actions. Try to avoid anxiety and instead be proactive and go for it, jump through the hoops to get what you want. Stop procrastinating NOW and go do the things you have procrastinated on before!
