I like what I read very much. You to the point and illustrate to many what we know but dont acknowledge. A point in the right direction is always needed.
Keep up what you doing, progress is difined by success!

Beat procrastination by analyzing what the most important task is to get your goal done, then just do it.

Start. Ignore the rest. Focus on the one task. That’s all you need to do. It’s the 20% that will give you 80% results. Do it and you got the essential accomplished.

Of course, you ask yourself if the goal is important to you in the first place

Great succinct article,

Years ago when Seinfeld was a new television show, Jerry Seinfeld was still a touring comic. At the time, I was hanging around clubs doing open mic nights and trying to learn the ropes. One night I was in the club where Seinfeld was working, and before he went on stage, I saw my chance. I had to ask Seinfeld if he had any tips for a young comic. What he told me was something that would benefit me a lifetime…

He said the way to be a better comic was to create better jokes and the way to create better jokes was to write every day. But his advice was better than that. He had a gem of a leverage technique he used on himself and you can use it to motivate yourself—even when you don’t feel like it.

He revealed a unique calendar system he uses to pressure himself to write. Here’s how it works.

He told me to get a big wall calendar that has a whole year on one page and hang it on a prominent wall. The next step was to get a big red magic marker.

He said for each day that I do my task of writing, I get to put a big red X over that day. “After a few days you’ll have a chain. Just keep at it and the chain will grow longer every day. You’ll like seeing that chain, especially when you get a few weeks under your belt. Your only job next is to not break the chain.”

“Don’t break the chain,” he said again for emphasis.

I actually use Lame life sometimes, and the answer is always the same Shocking

Cheers

[...] great article about motivation using the same technique as discussed before. This entry was posted on Friday, [...]

I definitely experience that kind of procrastination, and your suggestion is GENIUS!! completely flipping the situation on itself definitely going to try it.

…i do find though that i procrastinate in another way – often. Almost out of a sense of perfectionism. Like i’ll be studying for a big exam and i won’t be able to do a question so i’ll get up and make some coffee. sit back down. still can’t do it. get up go do something else. you know… almost putting off challenging myself in a sense. – this question really helps for that kind of thing, not so much for the dishes

Cool to hear from you – really like your site!

Check back again soon
all the best
