Overcoming Procrastination is the First Key to Succeeding
March 21, 2009
Beating Procrastination
Are you a Chronic Procrastinator? Chances are that procrastination is the main barrier keeping you from reaching your goals. This article from www.MindTools.com is a great blueprint to stop this chronic behavior and start taking actions toward the goals that you deserve to reach!
If you’ve found yourself putting off important tasks over and over again, you’re not alone. In fact, many people procrastinate to some degree - but some are so chronically affected by procrastination that it stops them achieving things they’re capable of and disrupts their careers.
The key to controlling and ultimately combating this destructive habit is to recognize when you start procrastinating, understand why it happens (even to the best of us), and take active steps to better manage your time and outcomes.
Why do we Procrastinate?
In a nutshell, you procrastinate when you put off things that you should be focusing on right now, usually in favor of doing something that is more enjoyable or that you’re more comfortable doing.
Procrastinators work as many hours in the day as other people (and often work longer hours) but they invest their time in the wrong tasks. Sometimes this is simply because they don’t understand the difference between urgent tasks and important tasks, and jump straight into getting on with urgent tasks that aren’t actually important.
They may feel that they’re doing the right thing by reacting fast. Or they may not even think about their approach and simply be driven by the person whose demands are loudest. Either way, by doing this, they have little or no time left for the important tasks, despite the unpleasant outcomes this may bring about.
Another common cause of procrastination is feeling overwhelmed by the task. You may not know where to begin. Or you may doubt that you have the skills or resources you think you need. So you seek comfort in doing tasks you know you’re capable of completing. Unfortunately, the big task isn’t going to go away – truly important tasks rarely do.
Other causes of procrastination include:
- Waiting for the “right” mood or the “right” time to tackle the important task at hand
- A fear of failure or success
- Underdeveloped decision making skills
- Poor organizational skills
- Perfectionism ("I don’t have the right skills or resources to do this perfectly now, so I won’t do it at all.")
How to Overcome Procrastination:
Whatever the reason behind procrastination, it must be recognized, dealt with and controlled before you miss opportunities or your career is derailed.
Step 1: Recognize that you’re Procrastinating
If you’re honest with yourself, you probably know when you’re procrastinating.
But to be sure, you first need to make sure you know your priorities. Putting off an unimportant task isn’t procrastination, it’s probably good prioritization. Use the Action Priority Matrix to identify your priorities, and then work from a Prioritized To Do List on a daily basis.
Some useful indicators which will help you pull yourself up as soon as you start procrastinating include:
- Filling your day with low priority tasks from your To Do List;
- Reading an e-mail or request that you’ve noted in your notebook or on your To Do List more than once, without starting work on it or deciding when you’re going to start work on it;
- Sitting down to start a high-priority task, and almost immediately going off to make a cup of coffee or check your e-mails;
- Leaving an item on your To Do list for a long time, even though you know it’s important;
- Regularly saying "Yes" to unimportant tasks that others ask you to do, and filling your time with these instead of getting on with the important tasks already on your list.
Step 2: Work out WHY You’re Procrastinating
Why you procrastinate can depend on both you and the task. But it’s important to understand what the reasons for procrastination are for each situation, so that you can select the best approach for overcoming your reluctance to get going.
Common causes of procrastination were discussed in detail above, but they can often be reduced to two main reasons:
- You find the task unpleasant; or
- You find the task overwhelming
Step 3: Get over it!
If you are putting something off because you just don’t want to do it, and you really can’t delegate the work to someone else, you need to find ways of motivating yourself to get moving. The following approaches can be helpful here:
-
Make up your own rewards. For example, promise yourself a piece of tasty flapjack at lunchtime if you’ve completed a certain task.
-
Ask someone else to check up on you. Peer pressure works! This is the principle behind slimming and other self-help groups, and it is widely recognized as a highly effective approach.
-
Identify the unpleasant consequences of NOT doing the task.
-
Work out the cost of your time to your employer. As your employers are paying you to do the things that they think are important, you’re not delivering value for money if you’re not doing those things. Shame yourself into getting going!
If you’re putting off starting a project because you find it overwhelming, you need to take a different approach. Here are some tips:
-
Break the project into a set of smaller, more manageable tasks. You may find it helpful to create an action plan.
-
Start with some quick, small tasks if you can, even if these aren’t the logical first actions. You’ll feel that you’re achieving things, and so perhaps the whole project won’t be so overwhelming after all.
Key points:
To have a good chance of conquering procrastination, you need to spot straight away that you’re doing it. Then, you need to identify why you’re procrastinating and taken appropriate steps to overcome the block.
Part of the solution is to develop good time management, organizational and personal effectiveness habits, such as those described in Make Time for Success! This helps you establish the right priorities, and manage your time in such a way that you make the most of the opportunities open to you.

Need Extra Capital? You Can Get a CPN Number!
March 11, 2009
So what is a CPN number anyway? It can be a great way to get extra capital and there are many ways that you can use them but how is the risk and how do they work.
CREDIT PRIVACY NUMBER (CPN)
We can legally create a New Credit File for you by the issuance of what is called a Credit Privacy Number (CPN); it is a newly generated 9 digit number established at the credit bureau level for financial reporting purposes. This is a nine-digit number that you will be able to use for all credit and financial related purposes. Regardless of your present credit profile number, you do have the right to use a CPN. This number is recognized buy all 3 major credit bureaus and all financial credit unions and banks. This will enable you to achieve a new credit history independent of your credit profile based on your current SSN.
This is NOT a government issued number like an EIN or TIN. Unlike most services, we do not advise you to misrepresent your Social Security Number on any legal documents. Please note; there are people who say they can offer you a new credit profile because they can generate a new social security number with a blank profile that is NOT true and NOT legal. It is illegal to have two social security numbers, it is against the law. The law does give you the legal rights to keep your Social Security Number private and use a separate number for credit related purposes. You are only required by law to disclose your Social Security Number to the Internal Revenue Service, your employer and most recently due to the Patriot Act, when registering a motor vehicle. We use the laws to your advantage.
How it works…
We will file all the paperwork involved to ensure your new credit file is created at all three credit bureaus. We will then add up to three seasoned credit lines to your clients’ file which will update years of on-time payments to the report. These accounts will reflect back to the dates the accounts were established. The process can take up to 60 days to complete as we must wait for all three credit bureaus to cycle. Each credit bureau works on a different schedule. This process typically generates a credit score in the 700’s, with an average FICO score of 750 or better.
You can apply for loans, credit cards, and other financial services but you are responsible for any debts you incur using your Credit Privacy Number. Your new CPN will allow you to apply for credit without involving any of your past credit issues.

Better Than Contant Contact Email Marketing Software for Pros!
March 11, 2009
Email marketing is a must have when staying in touch with a group of people! The internet has become so important to almost all marketing no matter what the product is. I’ve found some great software that is affordable and ultra user friendly. If you are using Constant Contact you need to take a look at this and compare it. I use this software to market to several lists including buyers, lenders and several others. Many businesses are using Constant Contact or somthing like it however what they don’t know is you, the consumer are paying for their ultra high marketing and advertising budget. I’ve found that AWeber has much more to offer with a much better price tag. When you look at a marketing system there are a few things you want to look for.
- Can you easily set up a list specific to a certain market?
- Does the system easily let your subscribers opt in and out?
- Does your system provide custom forms for opting in to what you offer?
- How does the system stack up to the competition?
