Focus: Step Two

Simply defined, procrastination is when an individual delays completing tasks intentionally. We have all avoided organizing the garage, closet or pantry. The first step in overcoming procrastination is to Take Action.

But, taking action is not enough if you get sidetracked and never finish the task at hand. Step Two in overcoming procrastination is to Be Focused. For instance, I think everyone at one time or another has gotten distracted while opening the mail. It’s easy to start reading a magazine article, pay a late bill or answer that phone call. But, soon you find that pile of mail gets out-of-control and so does your procrastination. Complete opening your mail in one sitting. Don’t stray off course…

Stay focused on the task at hand. You will be more efficient in the long run.
