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.

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!!!

Good day to all my blog readers. I have a great series coming up on the subject of time management techniques. I know that everyone knows that in order to be successful you need to know how to use your time wisely. Someone once said that you cannot manage your time but you can mange your life and in these techniques that you are about to learn you will know how to manage your life better.

Eben Pagan, one of the best entrepreneurs in the world today developed a system called Wake Up Productive and he shares some incredible information about how to manage your time better and I am going to share some of the techniques here but I highly recommend you get on his list for the next time he opens up back the training again because he does share some effective time management techniques there.

In this post I am going to talk a little bit about distractions. One of the main reasons why we cannot manage our time better is because of distractions. Distractions come in the form of people, email, television, cell phones etc. So the first time management technique is to eliminate distractions as much as possible.

Now I am a highly spiritual person and if I am praying or reading my bible or doing something important I take off my cell phone. Now can you do that. You need to realise that in order to accomplish your tasks you have to eliminate those things that will distract you from completing them.

You need to learn to focus on one thing for an extended period of time and you can only do this by eliminating the distractions that come your way during your productivity hour.

So here is my challenge to you. Make a list of the things you need to do each day and when the time comes for you to do it then take off all cell phones, all emails, all Instant Messengers, Facebook, Twitter etc and just focus on the task at hand. You will not die if you take off these distractions for a few hours while you get some important things accomplished during the day.

So the next time you are studying for a test, having quality time with your kids, spending time with God or whatever you need to do that is important, try your best to eliminate distractions as much as possible and then focus on the task at hand for a given period of time!!!

Now that is the first time management technique I will like to share today. If you enjoyed this post then feel free to socially bookmark it on your favorite website and just remember this is just Part 1 of 7 so look forward to the rest.

Thank you and have a great day!!!
