Kick Procrastination
Procrastination kills ideas, dreams, and opportunities. We kill time with less meaningful tasks instead.
Effects: Anxiousness to depression, traps behind success barriers, lowers self-esteem/confidence.
“Someday” becomes “too late.” Our future is purchased by the present.
Greatest losses: Achievements that never happen. Who knows what lies buried in graves?
Solution: Develop “get it done” mentality—reduces stress, multiplies opportunities, improves life quality.
Process:
- Identify most-procrastinated activities
- Understand why
- Make behavioral changes
First: Is It Procrastination?
Notepad exercise:
- List avoided tasks
- Left column: Reasons TO do it
- Right column: Reasons NOT doing it
If “to do” outweighs “not doing”: Procrastinating.
If “not doing” outweighs: Prioritizing (good!).
Causes of Procrastination
Common reasons (analyze your tasks):
- Fear of Failure: Uncertainty, rejection, embarrassment, loss
- Boredom: Monotonous/tedious
- Confusion: Don’t know where to start/overwhelmed
- No Clear Priorities: Jumping between unfinished tasks
- Dodging Responsibility: Success = more work
- Poor Time Management: Busy with low-value activities
- Low Commitment: Not as dedicated as you think
- Temperament Mismatch: Introvert task for extrovert (or vice versa)
- Manipulation: Someone else will do it
- Low Energy: Diet/exercise issue? Problem-focused thinking drains
Laziness: Lack of vision/purpose. Physics: Body at rest stays at rest.
Ten “Get It Done” Suggestions
- Commit fully—delegate or do it well
- Analyze pros/cons for conscious choices
- Positive attitude—choose least stress, most results
- Visualize completed task
- Incentives—rewards for challenges (follow through)
- Sub-divide—break into small wins for momentum
- Keep self-promises—build habit of follow-through
- Go public—tell Power Partners for accountability
- “Get it done” mentality—action = character = life quality
- Track achievements—builds self-esteem → more success
Physics reminder: Body in motion stays in motion.
Don’t Live With Regrets
Missed chances: Telling loved ones you care before they’re gone.
Children grow up. Loved ones pass. Live like today is last—someday it will be.
Acts of kindness back up words.
