Overcome Procrastination Right Now

Procrastination is the #1 killer of dreams in the world. Everybody has a tendency to delay what is hard and painful. “I will do it tomorrow. Tomorrow is a new day and I will feel better. I will do it in a week. I still have a lot of time to do it.” All reasons are good for the procrastinator. However, the truth is that the best time to do your work is right now. The task won’t be easier if you do it tomorrow. It needs to be done right now. So, how can you defeat procrastination?

Here are the best methods I have discovered in order to defeat procrastination. These methods have been scientifically proven. They are guaranteed to work. You simply need to apply them. Learn the methods, apply them, and change your life forever.

1. No More Excuses

   The first method is to change your thoughts. You must develop a new set of beliefs. Instead of repeating to yourself: “I don’t feel good right now. I need to rest. I will do it later. Now is not a good time. Etc.”, you need to develop an action-oriented mindset. Here are the new beliefs you must repeat: “Action is the best option. I must do it now. Action will make me feel better. Action will produce great results in my life. I will take action right now and I will succeed.” This is only an example. You can develop you own personal set of beliefs, but make sure they are action-oriented. Moreover, make sure you analyse the excuses you are using right now when you procrastinate and try to defeat them using your action-oriented beliefs.

   Decide to develop the habit of taking action right now. Every single hour of your working day, ask yourself the following question: “What can I do right now to accomplish my goal?” Answer the question and take action right now. As soon as you get the answer, stop thinking and take action right away. Just do it! There is no need to think for hours. There is a need for action. So, take action right away!

   This is what I call “The Four-second Rule”. As soon as you ask the question “What can I do right now to accomplish my goal?”, you have four seconds to answer the question and start taking action. This method is excellent because it stops you from thinking too much and finding excuses and it leads directly to action.

3. Have a To-Do List

   Always have a To-Do List with you. When you ask yourself what you should do, simply do the first thing on your to-do list. Don’t think about your emotions or your personal problems. Look at the first task on your list and take action right away without thinking. Your thoughts and your excuses are your worst enemy and they are the cause of your procrastination. Therefore, develop the habit of taking action right away without thinking.

I wish you all the success you deserve. Take massive action and see great results happen in your life. If you have any question, don’t hesitate to ask me your questions on the forum.
