Tackling Procrastination
Aging Baby Boomers often find themselves battling with the age-old enemy of procrastination. It’s easy to push off tasks, especially when you’re transitioning into a new phase of life. Prolonging tasks can become a habit that may lead to Stress and Anxiety. Overcoming procrastination isn’t just about productivity; it’s about regaining control over your time and energy. By tackling it, you unlock the potential to achieve your goals without unnecessary stress or guilt. Our experts in this area of the site dive into actionable strategies to leave procrastination in the dust. Procrastination isn’t just laziness; it often stems from deeper psychological causes. Fear of failure, perfectionism, or even anxiety about starting a daunting task can lead to avoidance.
Active procrastinators delay tasks intentionally, thriving under last-minute pressure. Passive procrastinators, on the other hand, feel stuck, unable to start due to indecision or fear. Procrastination is just fear in disguise when you just don’t want to fail. It can be a lack of motivation when you don’t have a clear “why”, sometimes even the simplest of tasks feel pointless. And procrastination can be poor time management where not planning your time effectively leads to chaos. Procrastination is a habit you can break with the right strategies and mindset. Setting realistic goals and deadlines or breaking tasks into smaller steps can help you reclaim control of your time and productivity.

“What the New Year brings to you will depend a great deal on what you bring to the New Year.” This is a great quote by Vern McLellan. We all have 365 days in a year. The only difference between the successful people and the mediocre is what we do with each day. We all spend every second of every day doing something. Are those activities moving you forward or keeping you where you currently are? Muhammad Ali said: "Don't count the days - make the days count." Jim Rohn said: "Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time." I just wanted …

Today we are talking about another benefit of taking action, which is to stop information gathering and just do. You can get so bogged down in research on a task that you’re facing that you don’t take action. Consider this, though. If you’re not taking action, how do you know whether the research you’re gathering will even help? Without taking action, your research is based on a theoretical conclusion that action A will prompt outcome B… but how will you know unless you move toward outcome B? I call this the getting ready to get ready syndrome. Tune in tomorrow for benefit #6 o…

Today we are talking about another benefit of taking action, which is when you don’t take an action, you become frozen in place. What if I do XYZ and it’s wrong? What if I do ABC and it doesn’t work out like I imagined? And on and on. Many people are afraid to move forward, but not moving forward is honestly scarier. It’s easy to not take an action because then you don’t have to face the consequences of your action.
