Yesterday I mentioned a few things that can help manage procrastination mindset.
Here is a 5-step framework to help you beat procrastination:
- Use your calendar. Have at least 10-12 non-recurring tasks scheduled in your calendar at any given point of time. So that you don’t run out of things to do!!
- Get an accountability partner. It can be a person or tool. Just someone or something that holds you responsible for completing what you committed.
- Plan beforehand to minimize distractions while you are working. Even if it means you must plan your kids’ schedule before your own so that you get some distraction-free time.
- Celebrate small wins. Don’t save celebrations for large wins or goals. Celebrate the small wins such as finishing one step of a goal to continuously feel motivated.
- Work on your mindset proactively. Keep fit, practice positive affirmations, use sticky notes to keep your goals always in front of you and be kind to yourself.
