STOP PROCRASTINATING... START NOW

I admit procrastination is something I battle with. I will hold off starting on tasks for weeks. I decided enough is enough.... PROGRESS OVER PERFECTION. Doing a little bit is better than doing nothing at all.  Here's a few tips I have used to get shit done.

1. Put Down Your Phone

My cellphone is a huge distraction. Sometimes I spend hours browsing online without consciously knowing it. If you have an iPhone you can set time limits that will disable social media and other distractions  using the screen time widget. 

2. Have Daily Goals 

I look over my goals everyday. I try to finish at least 3 of my goals daily. Sometimes I will start on a goal and pick it up the next day or hours later.  

3. Detach From Everything

Sitting in absolute silence for 10 minutes daily helps me focus and think clearly. After my 10 minute meditation period, I've noticed I am more productive. 

4. Reward Yourself

After I finish a goal or task I do something I enjoy. The harsh reality is, working toward your goals is usually not a fun process because it requires sacrifice of some sort. 

5. Examine Your Progress

At the end of the day I reflect on what I accomplished. I ask myself "Kanise could you have done more today"? If there are goals I started but didn't finish I make it a priority to work on them the next day. I also talk to myself. I know some people may think its crazy but I remind myself of the great things Ive done throughout the day. I feed off of my progression.
