What strategies do you use to stop procrastinating?

I am a business and efficiency coach.  I work with my clients on this issue frequently.  We would take an objective look at why you are procrastinating.  Sometimes your inner-knowing is using “procrastination” to actually tell you that this isn’t really your responsibility or the timing of this tasks isn’t right or the way you are planning to go about the task isn’t right or any number of things.

Instead of fighting against procrastination – use it as an indicator to re-evaluate what you are about to do.

  • Is this task really on your purpose – or are you doing someone else’s responsibility?
  • Is this task really worth your time?  Even though it’s a MUST DO – can you pay someone else do accomplish it in less time and money – then it would cost you to do it yourself?
  • Is this task better accomplished with friends and family – instead of all alone?
  • What’s the reason for this task?  Sometimes the task mutates away from the actual essence of the goal.  ASAP is (Analyze, Strategize, and create an Action Plan)

Then use the 4D’s to make better use of your time.   If you want more information on these techniques, just holler at me.  LauraRose@RoseCoaching.info
