A Simple Way to Fight Procrastination

ASK YOURSELF THIS ONE QUESTION

We ALL procrastinate to some degree, and while I know it’s tough to stop entirely, this trick will help reduce your distractions.

Ask yourself: What’s my procrastination move?

🤔 What do you find yourself doing to avoid what needs to be done?

If you don’t know the answer off the top of your head (most of us do), then track how you spend your time for the next 3 days.

☑️ Maybe you scroll IG to avoid making calls to your insurance company?
☑️ If you work from home, maybe you do a load of laundry instead of calling back clients?
☑️ In an office? What kind of busywork do you distract yourself with?

👉 When you know what your procrastination move is, you can pause to ask yourself, “what am I avoiding?”

And then get back to it.

Eventually, you’ll catch yourself before you start your procrastination move, but even if you don’t, simply knowing how you distract yourself is an important step.

🙌 Here’s to disrupting your procrastination patterns!
