The Biggest Source of Procrastination Is…<\/p>\n
…not getting started. It’s such a big part, it’s practically the
\ndefinition of procrastination. If you’ve started, you’re not
\nprocrastinating.<\/p>\n
The problem is most of us have ineffective habits for getting
\nstarted. We go on Facebook. We look at our emails. We sit in a room
\nfull of our friends to chat with.<\/p>\n
My solution is to develop a ritual for combating procrastination
\nthat I use whenever I want to work. The best time to use this ritual
\nis right when you wake up–that way you’ll be able to start working
\nimmediately, instead of squandering your morning hours.<\/p>\n
Developing a procrastination-killing ritual is as simple as figuring
\nout what you do when you actually get work done. Where do you work?
\nHow do you sit? What do you tell yourself in your head?<\/p>\n
Write all that down until you can figure out several key things that
\ngo into your routine when you finally beat procrastination.<\/p>\n
Then all you need to do is practice this routine with a particular
\ntrigger. The trigger can be anything you want, such as snapping your
\nfingers, standing up quickly or changing your posture.<\/p>\n
Practice going through both your trigger, and your short
\nprocrastination-busting ritual a dozen or so times by yourself.
\nAfter that, the next time you feel yourself procrastinating, go
\nthrough your ritual and start working immediately.<\/p>\n
If you get in the habit of doing this, you can use your trigger to
\nsnap yourself out of procrastinating.<\/p>\n
