We are natural procrastinators. At this very moment, I'm debating if I should type this post tomorrow ?. But no way am I letting my son make fun of me. So, I'm typing away. And my son making fun of me is part of the structure I created for myself to bust procrastination. Here are the 5 steps to the structure:

  1. Identify 5 tasks you want to accomplish the next day - put the most difficult task (Goliath) at the top. Research from Northwestern and Harvard suggests doing the hardest thing first makes it easier to achieve one’s goals.
  2. Share the list (could be a simple Google Sheet) with an accountability buddy. In my case, its my son - nothing would make his day more than embarrassing me!
  3. Knock out Goliath and the rest should be (relatively) straightforward
  4. Let buddy know if you haven't finished any of your tasks
  5. Repeat regularly (every day if possible) Like a lot of time management skills, doing this is not as easy as flipping a switch. But do it well, and see your productivity shoot up! The key is to make this a habit. An intention you can keep every day. Downloadable Summary ?
