EP 1080 – Just Do It

Can you find time?

Stop looking. You will never find it. It isn’t lost.

Sometimes we lose time because we are procrastinating. This could be because jobs or tasks are difficult or time consuming, but it is not procrastination if the job doesn’t rank in importance or urgency.

So why else do we procrastinate?

Perfectionism – have you ever wanted something to turn out ‘just right’, that you got overwhelmed by the details and couldn’t move forward?  There are 3 books waiting to be written, but the thought of them being less than spectacular keeps me from sitting down to write. 

Fear of failure, success, or finishing – Like the examples above, sometimes procrastination is also fueled by the fears that we have. 

Dislike task or person – I hate tackling my monthly finances.  It wouldn’t be so bad if I actually did them monthly.  However, I procrastinate, and I end up doing them every 3 months or so.  I get frustrated and annoyed which makes me want to put the task off even more.

Too tired – I need my sleep. If I am worn out, all those little tasks are easy to draw out or avoid all together.

So here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Do It Day:

Find the answer to ‘What’s In It For Me”.  Why is this task/decision important?  What will I achieve once it is completed?

Use positive self talk to keep you moving forward.

Watch out for time gobblers.

Reward yourself.  Make it fun.
