Confessions Of A Procrastinator. Part 2

Knowing you are a procrastinator is really helpful to finding a solution.  One of my goals this year is to loose weight.  Don't we all seem to have this goal?  It seems like it is always on my list.  I actually went to counselor to figure out why I cannot seem to stay with a plan and cross this off my to do list. Well once I figured out that the problem was as simple as that I was procrastinating I decided that I had to fix this once and for all so that it would no longer hang over my head.  I had brilliant reasons for wanting to accomplish this.  So I had a strong why.  Now I needed the tools.  The first thing I did was join weight watchers.  The second thing I did was hire a personal trainer.  Now I am in the first week and I am keeping a journal of my food consumption and I have worked out 4 days in a row.  Once with my new trainer.  I will keep you posted on my progress. 

As a procrastinator I have learned that I must immediately take action steps on my task or goal in order to make progress.  I suggest to you that you take something that you want to accomplish and put a list of tasks together in chronological order.  Then take immediate action on the first few steps.Then the next day a few more and the next day a few more till you complete the task.  Start with something easy.  As you develop the skill of accomplishing your goals without procrastinating you will get better and better at getting things done.

I admit it.  I am a terrible procrastinator.  Sometimes I think my motto is don't do today that which you can put off till tomorrow.  It isn't really but it seems like that at times.  I have to be very diligent to make sure I stay focused.  Procrastinating is an insidious problem.  It undermines your success in so many areas.  So how do you overcome this?  Well the first step is to acknowledge that you have a problem. So here I am in the first step of a many step solution to the issue.  I admit "I am a procrastinator".

Thank God It's Tuesday!!

Well in this case Tuesday is like Thursday because it is Thanksgiving week.  I really need those 4 days off.  Sometimes you just need a break.  No matter how motivated you are to build your career, sometimes you feel as though you are edging towards burnout.  These are the times when a vacation is very much in order.  Some people find it hard to take vacations.  Don't be one of those people.  You need to take vacations so that you stay sharp.  I know I am going to enjoy this mini vacation.  I hope you do too.
