Do you procrastinate? This lesson is about how to release this in order for you to have more success and peace.
One of the best productivity systems I have found is also one of the most simple. It’s called The Ivy Lee Method and it has six steps:
- At the end of each work day, write down the six most important things you need to accomplish tomorrow. Do not write down more than six tasks.
- Prioritize those six items in order of their true importance.
- When you arrive tomorrow, concentrate only on the first task. Work until the first task is finished before moving on to the second task.
- Approach the rest of your list in the same fashion. At the end of the day, move any unfinished items to a new list of six tasks for the following day.
- Repeat this process every working day.
It’s so easy to procrastinate, even the simple things – like I get an idea to send out cards to wish people well, I have found if I don’t write it down I’ll forget it or I just keep putting it off. Was it really important?
Yes. So what stops me? Distractions
Procrastination can come in a variety of ways, make sure you know why you do this?
You have a project to do, for me creating a video series of which I could blog about, took me forever, before you know it almost two months went by. I just decided one day it’s video day and I created them. Now it’s of much easier, when I am ready to do another blog post I uploaded the video to YouTube.
