STEP #6: IMPLEMENT 14 DAILY
PRACTICES TO OVERCOME
PROCRASTINATION
We’ve spent much of the book covering topics like identifying your core
projects, creating S.M.A.R.T. goals, saying no to low-priority tasks, and
planning your weekly schedule. But we haven’t talked about how to
handle those day-to-day moments when you feel that urge to
procrastinate.
The reason I waited until now is because procrastination is often a
symptom of a larger issue when it comes to managing your time. I feel
when you learn the
right way
to manage your time daily (using what I’ve
discussed in Step #1 through Step #5), you’ll eliminate many of the issues
that cause procrastination.
That said, I do recognize that your life might be a daily struggle of
deciding to focus on the activities you’re supposed to be doing while
resisting the temptation to skip what you’ve planned for the day.
So, in this section, I’ll cover 14 strategies to help you take action on tasks
—even when you don’t feel a lack of motivation.
This step has a “choose your own adventure” list of ideas. This means you
don’t
need to do all of them to overcome procrastination. Instead, I
encourage you to pick and choose the ones that work well for your
personal situation.
Let’s get to it.
