21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time.

As it is, the book explained 21 ways to achieved whatever we plan to do.

It means take ACTION NOW & FAST. Don' t  scumb to PROCRASTINATION and later we'll become scumbags.

I like it. I loved books which give guidance to readers to become a better person. When I read them, it got me thinking, "God! I can do this.". I feel motivated. My mind got me thinking more creatively even for a while.

The 21 greats ways are :

1. Set the table

2. Plan in advance daily

3. Rule 80/20 ( It got me thinking about Miranda Kerr philosophy - 80% healthy 20% fun)

4. Consider consequences

5.Practise creative procrastination. (I loved this one very much.)

6. Use ABCDE method

7. Focus on key result area

8. The Law of 3

9. Prepare throughly

10. Take 1 step a a time ( depends on situation, actually. Some situation need to be bulldoze forcefully to complete them)

11. Upgrade own skills (Strongly agreed)

12. Leverage your special talents

13. Identify your key constraints.

14. Put the pressure on yourself

15. Maximize your personal power

16. Motivate yourself into action

17. Get out of technological time sinks. (Strongly agreed)

18. Slice & dice the task ( depend on tasks actually)

19. Create large chunk of time ( I loved this too)

20. Develop a sense of urgency

21. Single handle the task.

There.... all 21 of them.

I am one of the procrastinator... I am.

I know that every morning I have this big ugly hateful 'frog' (task) to do but sometimes how I tackle them depend on my day.

The big ugly hateful 'frog' cannot be avoided. Even if I closed my eyes, deep in my heart, I know the frog still there. It is still there staring at me. Sometime it makes noises to irritate me. Then I have no choice but to face it and get it done with.

My way to overcome the big ugly hateful frog (task) is by forcing myself. I mentally talk to myself... I hate this frog (task)... I hate this frog (task)... so many times until the hateful and angry feelings overshadow that big ugly frog (task), grab it and swallow it force fully until I finish it. I will get all kind of feelings throughout the process - feel like crying and feel like vomiting but I just focus my mind and force myself to go through and get it done with. Only after I finished the process, I can proceed to the next task without feeling guilty or cheating.

If I try to cut and dice it smaller, I believed I will immediately stop on my second thoughts. I know I will.

That's how I eat my big ugly fat frog early in the morning... daily ( urghhh...)

Next....
