Breaking the Procrastination Habit

Let's be honest there are things that you don't want to do, that you know you should do, but don't do. And the reasons are many.



You may say, "I don't procrastinate, I never do that in my job"! Okay, well how's that eating right thing going for you? How about those workouts you said you would do...someday.



Oh how about not eating sugar, quitting drinking, stopping fast food, going to the doctor, learning a foreign language, an instrument, going to counseling, hiring a coach you need. Yep you put it off...that's procrastination.



In this episode of A New Direction #1 International Best-Selling Self-Help Author Scott Allan joins us to help you break the HABIT! Yes, the Habit of Procrastination.



Scott Allan's book "Do the Hard Things First: How to Win Over Procrastination and Master the Habit of Doing Difficult Work" is a complete toolkit to overcome procrastination.



Do the Hard Things First (DTHTF) starts by taking a deep dive into what procrastination is and why we do it.



Scott, wants all of us to start with a clean slate when it comes to this particular challenge, and part of that clean slate is stepping into forgiveness.  Forgiving yourself and your past.



Then Scott moves us to 22 steps that you can take to begin the process, and he notes it is a process of getting ourselves in a position where we are doing the more difficult tasks first, rather than those things that have very little pay off.



These steps are not all required.  In fact, you can pick as many as you want that work for you.



I highly recommend you take a look at his step of the 80/20 Pareto Principle as a way to overcome Procrastination and the Premack Principle and Bundling.



If you struggle having the hard conversations, or putting them off, or not dealing with your finances, writing that book you threatened to write or something else.  This book will be a refreshing help for you.
