Procrastination - What a lousy word. Do you do it? We all do at times. Read more to find out to stop procrastinating and get things done!
How many times do you see that same bill on your desk that you'll "get to later?" Or, is that bottle of laundry detergent just sitting by the steps waiting to get to the laundry room. Let's face it; procrastination is an easy thing to do. But, let's also be real in saying that procrastination is a major hurdle when it comes to being productive or just trying to be organized. I think we all procrastinate at times but if you can eliminate procrastination from your life, you will see major changes in your productivity. Sounds easy! But, for me, it was hard to implement.
Most successful people or "highly effective" people use the concept of "touch it once." This is the idea that once you get something in your hands, you just knock out whatever has to be done and bring closure to that item. When I first heard the term "touch it once," it really resonated with me. I was like, "Wow.. this really works." And it does work. And, I think when you do things the first time that you are able, in the long run, you end up doing less work. It's simple math really. Instead of just looking and shuffling around the mortgage bill 25 times before you pay, just pay it as soon as you get in from the mailbox (your inbox or you snailmail box)! So, go take that cat litter downstairs. Take that jacket that is on the railing and hang it up. You won't be disappointed with your efforts!
