You may think procrastination is not hurting your website and your online business, if any.
It actually is. So what you need to do is put an effort in keeping that from happening.
So how do you do that? Well, here are some tips you can do.
1. Plan ahead
Not following a plan is a surefire way to procrastinate. If you don`t plan your day, you are basically just sitting there waiting to respond to other peoples` requests. In other words, you are helping them to complete tasks on their to do list, while you are neglecting your own. Good for them and bad for you.
So what you need to do is to plan your week ahead. How can this be done? You could use a master to do list. This means that you will only have ONE to do list that includes all your tasks.
The tasks that are not on your master to do list won`t get done.
2. Work on your most important tasks
Research have shown that the majority of people are the most productive the first two hours after they wake up. Some people are the most productive during the evenings, while others are night owls. The point is that you need to identify when you are the most productive, and then block out that period of time in your schedule every single day.
And what will you be working on in those two golden hours? Your most important tasks, of course.
If you are able to constantly work on your most important tasks for your business every single day, you will become successful. It will not be a question of IF you are going to become successful. It will be a question of when.
3. Set goals
The best way to roundhouse kick the procrastination monster to the curb is setting goals. The next thing to do now is to systematically break them down into smaller manageable goals.
Breaking down goals is not an easy task, of course. But it doesn’t mean it’s not doable. You just have to put your mind into it.
If you’re 100% focused on achieving your goals, there’s a greater chance you’ll be able to achieve them.
4. Focus
By focusing on just working on one single task at a time you will become much more efficient. The task will not only get done faster, but you will complete your tasks with a higher quality. How are you really measured in your career? By the quality of results you are generating in a certain period of time.
If you increase the quality of your work, but don`t use more time, you will have become more productive. If you get the same amount of quality work done in a short period of time, you will have become more productive.
