How come this article was posted on 26th June yet I only just received it in the newsletter on 13th July? There is an old chinese saying "the only way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time" the only trouble with my elephant (the paperwork on my desk) is that as I am eating one end someone is feeding the other end.

If you have to get something done, then do it. It takes more energy to procrastinate and hold off a job ( all that worry, wondering when you will do it etc) that its actually easier to just do what you have to do as it comes along, clear the decks and get on with the next job.
This all takes personal discipline and foresight.
So, "be a doer , not a gonna". ( In australia that means do the task , not just say your going to do it!)

I think all of us have something that we tend to procrastinate about. For me, it is paying the bills. I absolutely hate it. I know that I have trouble sitting still for an hour. So, I schedule myself to pay my bills at the same time my bookkeeper is here to do the bookkeeping for my company. She is at my desk, working, and I am sitting on the couch in my office, with all my receipts and checkbook, paying my personal bills. No one interrupts us, the phone is on voicemail pickup and I turn my cellphone off. Its amazing how much can be accomplished in an hour with no distractions and total focus.

Anyway, that's how I keep from procrastinating doing that particular thing I dislike. I wonder how the rest of you are doing it...?

Find out how great you will feel after completing each task. How proud of your self you will be. You can look into a mirror and say, I am the best which will help build up your confidence in less time.

As they say, leave no task unturned.

You can also use EFT to help "program" yourself to do tasks efficiently and enjoyably.
