If you feel like you are losing the battle against procrastination, one of the most effective strategies for taking charge of your life is to get in the habit of accomplishing daily goals. When the procrastination demon appears, you know how to force yourself to push ahead because you have done it before.
Set goals every day, and achieve them. When you set daily goals for yourself, you develop the habit of getting things done.
It is easy to get discouraged when your projects don't seem to be going anywhere. We all need a long-term vision to guide our day-to-day efforts, but many people with high goals develop a negative attitude when they think they are not making progress. That's why it is important to set obtainable goals. The more goals you achieve, the more positive your attitude will be.
Set weekly and monthly goals. Your short-term goals are milestones that keep you moving toward long-term goals. They help you know if you're going in the right direction. When a long-term goal seems far away, it's easy to feel discouraged.
Breaking down a large project into smaller segments makes it easier to stay focused. Congratulate yourself when you achieve daily and weekly goals, and give yourself a special reward when you achieve a monthly goal.
It's important to experience the satisfaction and rewards of successfully completing jobs. When you force yourself to keep moving until you finish a project, it is easier to get started on the next one. Don't be surprised if you feel yourself grappling with the drift toward procrastination now and then. It may never go away completely.
All successful people learn how to identify the procrastination monster, and they know what to do about it when it threatens:
• Successful people use their time wisely. When an urgent task threatens to pull them away from what they are doing, they don't rush into it just because it seems urgent. They always ask: which of these two things is higher on my list of priorities?
• They turn off the phone from time to time. Can you get more done by leaving a voice message and turning the phone off during certain periods of the day? The telephone is one of the most insidious thieves of our time. It is urgent, but rarely important. It takes away time from the more important things.
• They keep a log of how they use their time. If they miss a deadline, they plan how to finish the remainder of their work and estimate as accurately as possible when it will be done.
• They develop a routine. They set an objective to accomplish every morning and every afternoon.
• They leave time in their daily schedule for contingencies.
• They always think twice before postponing a task. Successful people know that pushing themselves to accomplish daily goals makes them more likely to achieve long-term goals.
Setting daily goals will help you to become more successful in your life. Don’t you owe it to yourself to start setting goals and getting more done everyday? After all, that means that success is just that much closer!
