Ok today we gonna add a little humor for a change. This is something I got in my email called Procrastinator’s Creed.

You may wish to delay reading this until you have more free time.

1. I believe that if anything is worth doing, it would have been done already.

2. I shall never move quickly, except to avoid more work or find excuses.

3. I will never rush into a job without a lifetime of consideration.

4. I shall meet all of my deadlines directly in propoartion to the amount of bodily injury I could expect to recieve from missing them.

5. I firmly believe that tomorrow holds the possiblity for new technologies, astounding discoveries, and a reprieve from my obligations.

6. I truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable regardless of the amount of time given.

7. If at first I don’t succeed, there is always next year.

8. I shall always decide not to decide, unless of course I decide to change my mind.

9. I shall always begin, start, initiate, take the first step, and/or write the first word, when I get around to it.

10. I will never put off tomorrow, what I can forget about forever.

Now I hope that these things do not describe you.

Hi there. I will like to share with you a principle to beating procrastination. I learnt this from my coach Mike Litman and in it he speaks about the 1% principle to success.

Now what do I mean by this 1% principle. I know that many of you have been procrastinating on something for weeks, months or probably years because we are focusing on taking massive monumental steps each day and these steps scare us to the point that we refuse to take action on it.

Some of us have some extremely long to do lists to do each day that we just start a lot of things and end up finishing nothing. So here is what this 1% principle is about.

Forget trying to do so much things and improving yourself monumentally each day. Stop trying to grow yourself by 50 percent or even 10 percent. Try to grow yourself by 1%. Now I am sure that you can do that.

[ad#Google Adsense-1]

Have about 2 or 3 things to do in your to do list so that by the end of the day you can show that you have won. We need to get momentum in our lives and this is what the 1% principle can do for you.

If you’ve been procrastinating on reading a book, then why not read 1 or 2 pages per day. I am sure that you can do that. You need to get some momentum in your life and that is what the 1% principle will give you.

If you are like me and you want to memorize scripture verses from the bible, why not make a decision to learn just 1 verse per week and by the end of the year you will know 52 verses.

Do you see how this 1% principle works. Each day it compounds like compound interest.

So here’s what you need to do. Write down just 3 small things you are going to do tomorrow to move your life or business forward. Share it with us and celebrate when you have done these things.

Thanks for reading this post and have a great day!!!

Procrastination is one of the biggest problems that every one faces at some time in their life. I don’t think I’ve ever known someone who hasn’t procrastinated on anything. Procrastination can be one difficult force to overcome because we have developed the habit of procrastinating. We are all directly where we are in life right now because of our habits that we do day in and day out. Someone says that ‘your habit predicts your future’ and that is so true.

So how do I destroy one of the most destructive habits around which is called procrastination?

Firstly we need to identify what are the main things we are procrastinating on. Get a pen and paper and list the things that you are procrastinating on. E.g. a report, studying for an important exam, it might be seeing a doctor, starting a membership in a gym etc.

Now ask yourself why I am procrastinating on these things. Write down your answer to that question also. Some possible answers may be that you would rather watch TV than study for an exam or you do not think you could make the commitment to go to a gym regularly etc.

[ad#Google Adsense-1]

Now let’s fast forward your life to 5 years in the future. Imagine if you made that commitment to go to gym regularly from now on, what your life would be like then. Just imagine the health you would now have, how great your body looks, the energy you now have to do things you didn’t have the time to do because of lack of energy. Imagine walking down the streets and those girls or guys are checking you out. Just write down all of the things that the future would look like if you did what needed to be done. Write it down until you can actually feel these things. Don’t you see how much better your life would be?

Another way to do this is to think of what could happen if you continue to put these things off. Imagine if you don’t decide to go to gym and get your weight or health in order what could happen. You could be facing an early death, probably missing your children’s wedding ceremony, probably not being there to support your wife when she needs you badly. Imagine if you fail that exam and it keeps you back for an entire year in high school so that you can’t go to college. Do you see how painful these things can be when we procrastinate on them? Tony Robbins says that everything we do is either to avoid pain or gain pleasure and that is so true. Let us try our best to avoid pain, and the pain I am talking about is the pain of regret.

The truth is, the reason we procrastinate is because we are focusing on what we don’t like instead of focusing on what the end result will be if we do get the correct things done. We are focusing on the process instead of the ‘prize’. When we focus on the prize we get the motivation to do what we want to do. Stop focusing on the process and start focusing on the ‘prize’ and you will overcome your procrastination.
