How To End Procrastination!

Chances are you are here because you are here to learn to make our online empire just as I am. Of course here we are learning to succeed in affiliate marketing, but somewhere in the back of our minds we have all needed to get something done but put it off. Right?

How To End Procrastination

Today we live in a world of procrastination. We put something off because of some reason. Either we don't have the energy to do it, (I just don't feel like doing it right now) or we get distracted on something else. We know what energy is, and we only get so much per day. Our energy should be treated like our money. What we spend it on should be very important. But in today's world we spend massive amounts of our limited amount of energy on things like what to wear or eat. We even spend it on things like considerations that really aren't important like How many times have you been invited somewhere and you go over and over in your head whether you want to go or not. I am guilty! Are you?

Even though it is mental, it still takes from our energy supply as if it was physical. This results in habits of doing it and also weakens our ability to think clearly. I'm sure there are many more effects but as for this example, I think we can see the point. So now that we know what this does and how we are wasting our precious energy, lets get to my real point.

How To End Procrastination? One Big Step Broke Down

It may sound simple, but it's rarely accomplished. Breaking any habit requires rewiring our minds. That is all for another day however! There really is one step to stopping it and the step is doing one thing at a time. Yes, you could have thought of that, I know! However, procrastination causes a cloudy vision and feeling that stops many of us from putting the first step forward. Sometimes it takes knowing why this is and it suddenly makes us aware to what is going on and being aware alone motivates in its own weird way.

We now know that the big step is Doing One Thing At A Time. So how can we do that? We use tools. Tools that we naturally have. A few tips to try below!

A Day In The Life Of Curing Procrastination "My 5 Step Breakdown"

1. Make Your Bed- Sleeping is a task that we do, so finishing and finalizing the nights sleep would be making our bed. This is exercise to strengthen the "Willpower Muscle". (What I call it anyway). lol!
   
2. Take 5 min for You- By setting this 5 min for yourself every morning, you can calmly think of all the things that you need to do today.
   
3. Write everything down- Everything that you can think of that needs to done for the day needs to be wrote out. This makes it easily accessible when needed during the day.
   
4. Circle the 3 most important task and number in order of importance. Figure out the strategy to completing the first 3 things on the list. Do them with no stopping or distractions. Do not start anything else until these 3 things are done.
   
5. Circle 3 more and number in order of importance. Repeat and don't stop until they are done.
   

A Few Things To Keep In Mind

Keep in mind when creating your list and the importance of each task that each task will require some use of that limited energy, So you will want to make sure that the task are important enough to give some of daily energy to.
