Did you plan out your most important tasks for the week? If not, I highly recommend doing that every Sunday evening before the busyness of your week begins on Monday.
List up to five main tasks that you really need to get done for the upcoming week. Schedule them into your calendar. Then, take action on them.
Ok, switching gears to today's topic...
There are lots of ways to procrastinate. Endless really.
But what's the most common one that many of my clients (and most people I know) struggle with? What procrastination habit is the one that silently chews up a ton of your time every day?
Spending time on the internet.
We love being online. It's a resource, a learning tool, our way to communicate.
It's also our preferred procrastination method.
It's too easy, it's right in front of us, within arm's reach at all times.
Computers and mobile devices are both where we work AND where we get our entertainment and distraction.
Many of our online activities have an addiction aspect to them and are related to the neurotransmitter dopamine, as this article in Psychology Today talks about.
It is crucial to minimize online procrastination, distraction and entertainment if you ever want to reach your financial, business, career and personal goals.
Stay focused, keep making adjustments wherever you can throughout your day.
You've got limited time to make it happen, so use your time wisely. Your goals are worth it -- Give them the full time and attention they deserve!
