One of the long term solutions to stop procrastinating is to understand why we procrastinate.

People procrastinate for various reasons:

• Fear of failure
• Enormity of task
• Dislike for a particular aspect of work
• Boredom

It may take a while for one to get to the base of the problem. Once we identify the reason, overcoming procrastination really becomes easy. Getting on top of this problem is a gradual improvement process. Here are some shockers (Quick tips) that may help you to get a jump start on some types of procrastination.

• Invite friends for lunch or dinner. This is certain to help you if you have been putting off cleaning the house!
• Spend some money on what I call `Organizers’.  Lets look at some illustrations :
  1. Purchase a desk or dated box file to organize the bills that are lying cluttered.
  2. Buy cartons to pack off certain seasonal materials.
  3. Get a tool kit to finish the pending home repairs.

  The excitement of new Òrganizers’ & the guilt of expense should get the job done.

• Do a 80:20 exercise on weekend. The 80:20 rule says that we use only 20 percent of our belongings 80% of the time. This in turn means that we do not need to keep 80% of the things we process!

Take a stock of your papers, utensils, clothes today. If you have not used something in the past one year, you are probably never going to need it again. Get Rid of it TODAY. When I knew that I need not file 80% of the pending papers, I immediately got into the act of filing ( & discarding).

The best part of this 80:20 exercise is that we can look forward to the exciting shopping ahead to replace some of the things we have discarded ( urghhhh… ??)
