How to Stop Procrastinating

I have a confession to make.

I am an addict and my drug is information. I suffer from information overload.

As a result, I delay or postpone action when I want to achieve something. I am convinced I don’t know enough.

This makes me a first class procrastinator. My addiction is out of control.

My behaviour has finally got to the stage where I want to do something about it.

I am messing up my life – my business in particular.

The first step I am taking is to ignore the next email that comes into my email inbox promising me this information is the answer to my prayers. I will open it only to UNSUBSCRIBE.

Ready to put this into action?

The next step is to clear out all the emails I have saved and never look at. They are feeding my addiction.

Step Three is to work on my business. Get into action and stop procrastinating.

What gave me this change of heart?

When I decided I would contribute to the WA community even though I wasn’t sure how, I decided to receive more emails from the community. I will allocate some time every day to read them.

Yesterday an email came in from WA which was the wake-up call I needed.

It highlighted a seventeen-year-old entrepreneur here at WA. https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/dougbeney

He is living proof of what we all can achieve. I owe him heaps!

Today I am going to write my business plan. Something I have been putting off with the excuse it’s all in my head that’s all I need.

From today I will have my planning tool and I will be further along the road to success.

Thank you to all the generous people who share on WA.

I have all the information I need to succeed.
