Is overcoming procrastination a goal you’ve set for your life or work this year?

Is there something you’ve been putting off because it seems overwhelming, won’t deliver immediate results or for which you lack clarity? 

It starts with changing your habits
Procrastination is one of the biggest roadblocks to productivity. You can avoid procrastinating on something that is important to you by changing your habits and making it a priority. While that sounds like common sense, there are several strategies you can use to establish more productive habits and overcome tendencies to put things off. 

Here are a few things to try: 
  • Build Accountability: One of the best ways to be successful is to enlist the help of a coach, trainer or partner to help you establish and achieve your goals.
  • Plan and Prepare: Schedule appointments, meetings and free time for breaks into your day. Diligently follow beginning and end of day routines to keep you on track.
  • Employ Technology: Use mobile devices and other tech tools as reminder alarms or to track time. 
  • Create a Network: When you associate with people who share your goals, you will be more successful in achieving them.
  • Stack Habits: Establish new habits by combining them with old habits. 
Just take the first stepWhen you focus on the reasons you procrastinate, you’re more likely to start achieving your goals. Once you take the first step, and by making just a few adjustments, soon you’ll find you’ve adopted new habits and increased productivity in your life and work.
