Procrastination is the key cause of several failures of the people targeting richer lives. In case you have not been able to achieve your goals, it is time that you need greater commitment.

The only reliable remedy to commitment is action. Next time when ever you delay the initialization of a task or you fail to accomplish the job that you had already started, question yourself as to why you were not working towards it:

a. I can not do it & I do not want to.

b. I can do it, but I do not want to.

c. I want to do it, but I can not.

d. I can do it & I want to.

In case you are honest to yourself, you would probably get started with the fourth statement. And in case you do that, you would have made the initiative towards defeating the devil of procrastination.

Here are some features of procrastination and the tips that would help you fight procrastination:

1. The studies have proved that every individual can develop new habits with in two weeks only, provided you are serious that you wish to change.

2. In order to make the personal & corporate dreams come true, you must be focused and you must move ahead to take the action.

3. Usually we tend to delay those tasks that define the success of the long term projects.

4. List out the tasks that you dislike the most.

5. Then ask yourself as to how to approach them.

6. How would you like to tackle them that is first of all or leaving them for the last?

7. Take examples of the people around you who always achieve their targets by getting things done. Observe their work habits. Check out their approach towards the jobs that are monotonous & non-appealing jobs. Observe how do they manage to be so focused.

8. Now try completing the least enjoyable tasks first, or you might opt to put the disliked tasks some where between the favorite ones.

Mark Twain explains for this – In case you have got to swallow the frog, do not stare at it for too long.

9. In case you are facing troubles making the commitment only because you think that you would not be able to complete them, then you might want to try out the method devised by Thomas Edison. Edison used to go to the public through press conferences and announce his inventions. He declared to the world regarding his invention, and then went to the laboratory & invented it.

10. Might be that you do not want to apply this technique of ‘going to the public’ in all other areas of life. The idea is Thomas Edison, one of the greatest & most productive inventors of history of United States, had understood how important it is to drift way from inactivity. This technique of fighting against procrastination was an extra ordinary one & he used to get extra ordinary results.

11. Place your favorite inspirational quotes where you would be able to read them. Tell people the timings when you must not be disturbed. Try thinking about the tasks in & around the surroundings that help you bring a flow in your work. Which are the things that distract you and / or make you wish to postpone the job? How would you design and / or rearrange the environment in order to eliminate the causes of procrastination?

Thomas Edison said – In case we did everything that we are capable of doing, we would actually astound ourselves.

Try and do something today- something that you are putting off and initiate the astounding self of yours!
