One of the great ways for you to overcome procrastination is by working as though you had only one day to get all your most important jobs done before you left for a month or went on a vacation. By putting the pressure on yourself, you accomplish more and better tasks, faster than ever before. You become a high-performance, high-achieving personality. You feel terrific about yourself, and bit by bit, you build up the habit of rapid task completion that then goes on to serve you all the days of your life.- Brian Tracy, Eat that Frog
I get it. You are busy and have too much on your plate, and you have a hard time juggling all of your priorities. I am in the same boat, and I often get distracted by the thought of completing something rather than just going ahead and completing it. Especially lately, it's been even more important for me to tackle something immediately rather than to put off the task until later. The relief this gives to my brain, and the accomplishment of getting more done quickly, has been very beneficial. But I am still working on this because my list of "to do's" keeps piling up, and the longer I wait to do something, the more challenging it seems, as is said in the below quote. So how do we accomplish more and procrastinate less?
