08 Oct 09 Curb Your Procrastination

Procrastination will kill a career very quickly, if you don’t curb the behavior. Whether you own a personal business, or are a career minded employee at a big corporation, procrastination is the enemy. Through procrastinating you fail to get tasks done. Or worse, you rush to get tasks done at the last minute, not reflecting your best work. Either is bad, and could cause your business to fail, or for you to lose your job.

Make a goal, and write it down. Then post that goal around your workspace, so that you literally never lose sight of that. If you feel like procrastinating, take a look at the goal, and think about how your current path doesn’t lead to that end. That should be a good start to learning how to curb your behavior.

Next you need to prioritize your tasks to get them done. This way you make a concise list of what you have to do, preparing yourself for the upcoming work. With a clear list of what you have to do, you’re better served to start working. Go through that list, starting with the first item, and get those projects done in order. Don’t make the list and then think, now I’m set to start working tomorrow. That’s the definition of procrastination. No better time than the present, so start now!

Stay focused and cross off each item on your list as you complete them. Feed off the positive energy of doing your job, and doing it well. Let that carry you into getting more work done, at the top level, in orderly fashion. The more you keep plugging away the better. Before too long if you stay true to yourself, you’ll start seeing the positive effects of fending off your procrastination. Getting your job done, having more guiltless free time, running a business successfully. Once you achieve all of those through your list of objectives, you’ll never want to procrastinate again.
