In order to kill procrastination you need to do a few things. First make sure that the overall goal is something that you absolutely want to accomplish. Make a list of undeniable reasons that you absolutely MUST achieve the goal. Say to yourself, if I don’t accomplish the goal what will happen to me? What kind of pain will I feel?
Most people work for others because the fear of pain is inflicted by your boss. Your painful thought of a loss of your job, eliminates procrastination from doing the most important goals set by the boss. In order to make yourself have the kind of drive of doing your most important goals, you need to really KNOW that there is a NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCE for not accomplishing your goal.
The other thing that can kill procrastination is to set small manageable goals that MUST be accomplished the NEXT DAY. Take 5 minutes every evening and write down the 2-3 top goals you MUST accomplish the next day. And do not let yourself be sidetracked by email, other people, or anything else until you accomplish at least your top 1 goal for the day.
That’s it. Not rocket science, but a true way to Kill Procrastination.
