How To Kick The Procrastination Habit

By admin | April 22, 2008

If you are like me procrastination is a major hindrance to your business.

Have you ever kicked your self because you missed the boat on an opportunity? Me too, and I vowed to not let it happen anymore.

I started trying different things to help break my procrastination habit.

Although I was concentrating on not procrastinating, I still was. Then one bay I was listening to a teleseminar with Alex Mandossian and he suggested using a timer.

All I can say is wow! Since implementing a timer to my day my productivity has went up ten fold.

Here is what I do…

I use a desk top timer you can get free here…

Next I assign a time limit for task for the day between 10 and 50 minutes.

Then I simply work on the task for up to 50 minutes and the I take a break of 5-10 minutes.

It works wonders for me.

    Hi Shannon,

    thanks for the timer link, cool idea!
    I tend to use my need for a cup of tea, smoke or toilet break as a break point, but it’s not as “focused” as actually setting a timer…
    :)
    cheers,

    Hey Matt,

    No problem. It has done wonders for me. It really puts you into gear when your feet are being held to the fire so to speak.
