Be Proactive in Procrastination! Stop it before it starts for you. Here are some simple solutions to avoid procrastinating: *Be mindful. Take inventory of the sites and sounds of your environment before you start a project. Are you in a place that is productive? *Be self aware. Are you tired, cranky, having a bad day? What is your most energetic time of the day? Start then. *"Learn as a I do, not as I say". Actions speak louder than words. When you begin to hear your self defeating words of doubt, do not listen, just keep on going. A project finished is based on the behavior. Allow your body to go and your mind to listen to it. Act first, listen second, and you will see results. You will start to see how much power our minds have when we procrastinate. *Remember: Procrastination does not exist if you do not let it. When you see something that needs to be done, if it takes less than 5 minutes, do it now. That 5 minutes now will save you 5 minutes later. *Remember: You are in control of your life!
