Fighting procrastination and managing time are two things that I’m working on. I talked about this in episode #012 of the podcast (Procrastination: Why You Do It). I also mentioned these topics in several other posts.
There are three specific things that I have done to try to help:
- I starting talking with business coach, Chris LoCurto. I’ve only had one session with him, but he has given me great advice. Part of the homework is to intentionally schedule time to work on my business, and then to get laser-focused on it.
- I started reading Getting Things Done by David Allen. This book presents a system of getting your life organized so that you can become more productive and get things done.
- I started to work at scheduling some time each week to focus on my business, my schooling, and to organize my home office better.
Here’s a video from Derek Halpern of Social Triggers. He talks about procrastination and some thing you (and I) can do reach “procrastination elimination.”
 Question: What do you do to overcome procrastination?
Schedule time to work on not procrastinating next week. Haha. Honestly, I have a hard time with it too. It’s a constant struggle. I need to do better about setting a schedule for myself
Is there anything that you’re doing to help get better? Or even to just stop getting worse?
I think for me, finding people to work on projects with has been a huge help. Knowing someone else is expecting me to get something done really is a motivator. I’ll let myself down, but I don’t like letting others’ down (which is stupid and kind of backwards huh? haha)
Anyways, that’s the best thing I’ve done as of late to help it!
I’m the same way. I don’t like letting others down, either.
collaborating is huge. Thanks for sharing your struggles my friend! it helps me feel like I’m not the only one đŸ™‚
