Mental Self Defense: Procrastination
I'm sure like me, most of you find yourself procrastinating on a lot of things you wish you wouldn't. The one thing I find myself procrastinating on the most is my business. As you can amagine this can be a huge blow to the income level. Even though I have been procrastinating on a few things I have found a few ways to stop it and I wanted to share those with you now. If you have a printer or a notepad please do yourself a favor and either print this out or write the steps down. You will thank me later when your work multiplies.
The first thing I want to share with you is what I believe is the number one reason I have achieved more in the last year than I ever have. I'm sure most of you have heard of Tim Ferris the guy who wrote the Four Hour Work Week? Well in his book Tim talks about how he uses a simple technique that allows him to get more done in a week than he usually got done in a month. This technique is the ˇ°2 things rule.
Basically what you do is write down two things every night before you go to bed that you would like to accomplish the next day. This may seem easy to do but there is a catch. These two things have to be tasks that will progress your life. So in other words you cant write down, ˇ°walk the dog. It has to be something that you know will benefit you in the long run in regards to wealth/personal gain. If you do this EVERY day without fail you will have 14 relevant tasks a week complete that you normally wouldn't have done in a year.
The second one I have for you is someth
ing posted everywhere but mentioned in the Four Hour Work Week, the 80/20 rule. I have used this on everything from personal tasks to leisure time. Basically what you do is find out what 20% of the things you do make up 80% of the results.
Let's looks at self defense weapons as an example here. Say you have the following self defense items pepper spray, stun gun, squirt gun, tazer, billy club, stun baton, lollipop, stink bomb, leather whip (don't ask) and an electric razor. Now I know that most of these are a little farfetched and should never be called self defense weapons but in all actuality this is the way people use the tools they are given for everyday life. People are walking around with a butter knife when they should have some pepper spray or a stun gun, get my drift? Now with the above products listed which ones do you think are in the top 20% for effectiveness and security? You guessed it, the pepper spray and the stun gun. So which ones do you want to use to defend yourself with? You guessed it again, the pepper spray and the stun gun. Those products provide AT LEAST 80% of the results you want.
What I am saying is that this is what you should do with your everyday life. Find out what works or gives you 80% of the results you want and go with that.
Since I started using these steps my work load has gone from crazy to controllable. If you use them also I can guarantee you will not only get more done but at the same time you will be happy with yourself and what you have accomplished. All-in-all just make sure you stick with it no matter what. Never give up and always keep your mental self defense up.
