One Simple Trick to Defeat Procrastination Once and For All
I used to be a self-proclaimed procrastinator. You know the type; the ones who claim they work well under pressure. But the reality is that if a person combines that sense of urgency, and learns to induce it at will, with additional time then you’ll have the extra hours to edit, revise, and improve your work if you see the potential for it to be even better.
The other issue is that many people need to be told what to do. They end up working for someone else their entire careers because they need someone else telling them what to do. The choice is pretty clear: You can either work to make your dreams come true or you can be hired to build someone else’s for them.
This is because people know what needs to be done, but when they’re fatigued from obligations, they’re significantly less likely to have the energy or desire to create new tasks for themselves.
This is where your plan of action comes into play. Writing your goals and to-do lists every day will change your life.
1) Write your long term goals and dreams down
Don’t be afraid to dream big – there’s something to putting that energy out there – the world has a way of rewarding the ones who dream big. It’s okay for your dreams to be improbable, as long as they aren’t impossible. In fact, if you don’t have any improbable dreams you’re not truly living.
2) Write down your short-term goals
Your short-term goals can be separate, but are often stepping stones to help reach the long-term goals. Give yourself some tasks you know you can accomplish in the present so you can track your progress and feel a sense of accomplishment as you try to catch your big break.
