It is SO easy to push off tasks,
especially tough, challenging tasks
we don’t really want to do,
until tomorrow.
For entrepreneurs,
this procrastination can be costly.
We don’t get paid
if we don’t do.
Timothy Pychl,
in the January issue of spirit,
advises
to be specific
about WHEN we’ll tackle tasks
by associating the timing
with another action.
“Vague intentions,
like ‘I’ll do it this weekend,’
lack the power to move us to act.
Instead, be precise
when setting goals.
Research has shown that
connecting tasks to actions
is most effective.
For example, tell yourself:
‘As soon as I finish my coffee Saturday morning,
I’m going to…'”
Link the timing of a task
to another action
and get ‘er done!
