Everyone struggles at one time or another with putting things off. I need to get my car emissions checked, and I have been putting it off for a month. Why?
It's not hard. It doesn't take a lot of time. I just don't want to do it...so I put it off for another day. The fact that there's a deadline will ensure I get it done. What are you delaying?
The Procrastinator's Handbook by Rita Emmett has great suggestions on getting things done. For example, Emmett suggests you create a "portable project center" for your current projects. You need a folder with pockets plus a spiral notebook the same color for each project.
Designate a place to keep the folders where you can grab and go. If you're working on a remodeling project, you could use a red folder and notebook. Keep receipts, drawings, brochures, photos, charts, and bids in the folder. Use the notebook to make lists of things you need to do...one item at a time. Check off each item as you do it.
You'll have all the information in one place. You'll know exactly where it is. And best of all, you can grab it quickly as you go out the door. No more excuses!
Have a productive day today!
