Three Simple Steps To Tackling Tough Tasks

Planning to do something important? Does it also happen to be something you keep putting off? The best time to start is RIGHT NOW! Stop saying to yourself..

• “Later”
• “Tomorrow”
• “Next week”
• “After tax season”
• “Next quarter”
• “When I get around to it.”  I’ve provided one for you on the right!
• Or insert your own procrastination term or stall tactic here: __________________

Here are 3 simple steps to move that project forward:

1. Examine your motives for pushing it off. Is this really important to you or are you just being lazy … doing things as you’ve always done them and expecting different results?
2. Is the project aligned with your goals, your values, your dreams? Has this task passed the Important/Urgent test?
3. Allocate 5 focused minutes to get the job started. You’d be amazed how just those 5 minutes can motivate you to tackle the rest of it.

Apply these three techniques to that project or tough task that keeps re-appearing on your “to do” list, and you’d be amazed at how much better you feel! It really is just as easy as 1, 2, 3!
