Procrastination is an expensive habit.  How can we stop procrastinating. Here are some ideas.

It is time for me to preach to myself again. I am sure you have seen or heard this quote  “The principles always work if you work the principles”.

Sounds so easy, doesn’t it? Come On! It’s so generic, how does this effects our marketing efforts for example?

First, what does it mean: IF YOU WORK…… Right! Action, compared to just thinking your way to the top, towards your goal.

Thinking is important, RIGHT thinking is VERY important. But…without action, there is not much happening.

The human brain knows no limits when it comes to thinking out ways and strategies in dealing with all kinds of problems, but if these strategies and plans are NOT acted upon, they really hold no meaning – they’re like empty blueprints camouflaged in sparkling rhetoric.  And rhetoric comes cheap these days.

You have to make up your mind to be ACTIVE, to take action, and to take action NOW. To help you, we have gathered 101 recommendations and suggestions, or TIPS if you like.  Tips on how NOT to procrastinate.

Procrastination pervades every aspect of our lives.  It is highly dangerous. Deceiving, let’s you feel right, for a while at least.  Then it becomes a habit.

Some of the tips we share here may be useful and some may be irrelevant.  Others will come in handy not necessarily today, but at a later stage of our lives.

Procrastination is an expensive habit.  We discovered that one of the ways that will not make us procrastinate is to figure out the dollar amount of something that was not done because of procrastination.  This can be a great eye opener.

It all points to the generally accepted idea that time is money. This alone can serve as a strong motivator not to procrastinate again.  Or at least to try not procrastinate!

Jack Canfield quoted Brian Tracy to drive home the message:  “Life is like a combination lock; your job is to find the right numbers, in the right order, so you can have anything you want”.

We’d be lying if we told you that if you followed our 101 tips on how not to procrastinate, you can have anything you want.  It doesn’t work that way.

These tips are ideas that have come from our heads and from other people’s heads.  And it is up to you to apply them in every segment of your daily routine.  Avoiding procrastination is more effective when we start with little steps.  It does not mean having to change our lives drastically.

But as one writer said, not procrastinating will make us appreciate the life we have now.  And as we build on the small steps, we’d be amazed at how much we can accomplish over the years.

In deciding not to procrastinate, you may want to accompany this determination with clear ideas and small steps. Make concrete goals. Let us eat this elephant, one bite at a time. Being overwhelmed stops you right in the process of overcoming your procrastinations.
