5 powerful principles to eradicate the procrastination of your life

Are you in the category of those who they postpone everything important in a continuous and systematic way? Do you think that delays will "provide" perspective for the achievement of your objectives and purposes?? Postponement it is one of the most common obstacles and behaviors in our western society. Its nature is absolutely unproductive, harmful and limiting, a vision that restricts human greatness and the creative ability to carry out your vision and potential in an effective way..

Many times you say to yourself: "I know that I would have to do this or that and I do not do it, but the time, the experience or the situation will come when I can take action. This phrase is one of the greatest man-made deceptions, and responsible in turn for great disappointments and frustrations in your life.

You create an illusory reality, in which you focus on a saving external event that gives you the "lucidity" necessary to start. However, that promising future that brings awareness and perspective the action you want to take never comes, since the only time you really have to change things is the reality of now, as well as your conscious and internal decision about the relevance and significance of doing what your heart knows for sure has to be done.

How can you give a significant change in your quality of life from postponement to action? What behaviors, attitudes and techniques can you adopt Here are five techniques and perspectives for becoming a master of consistent action..

1. Statement of outcome, purpose and massive action plan

A common characteristic of procrastinators is being carried away by inertia of events, without deciding to command its existence and to create it according to its standards. Write down on paper today what Outcome you want to get in an area that is important to you, what is the reason or particular purpose, for which you want to take the action, and what will be the specific actions and plan that will lead you to obtain that long-awaited desire. Once finished, stick it on your bathroom mirror so that it is the first thing you read when you wake up and the last thing you read when you go to bed. This will make your subconscious integrate the relevance that this objective has for you, which will help you not to postpone.

2. The 30-day anti-procrastination diet

This diet consists of preparing a planning calendar of 30 days in which you commit to take each day an action that you have been putting off, evading or resisting. The simple act of taking a small daily action that you have been putting off will give you perspective and conviction to jump into bigger and more challenging actions. Various neuroscientific investigations support the effectiveness that these new actions have in the reworking of neural connections in your brain, producing a feeling of certainty, security and possibility. The power of effort and commitment it is a muscle that can be shaped and worked. And this planning is a good start for it..

3. Create an open space without distractions

This is one of the keys that in my opinion make the difference when it comes to doing with conviction what has to be done. Is vital generate and create a space to facilitate focus and concentration continued on a task. This space requires the following characteristics:

  • During working hours, no technological component that facilitates your distraction (mobile phones, tablets, ipods or any gadget).
  • Your space has to be clean, tidy, bright and not overloaded with stimuli.
  • Try to have in that space some quotes, phrases or reflections that they urge you to give the best that is in you.
  • Make sure it is a space that unleash your creativity. Give it a personal, sophisticated and attractive touch.

4. Divide the task or action into small manageable "chunks"

One of the most notorious reasons why people procrastinate is what I call "the syndrome of totality". We are experts in focusing on EVERYTHING that is required to reach the final goal. You focus on the enormity of the house instead of the daily brick that corresponds to you to place. Break your homework into small manageable and motivating micro goals. If you have to swim 80 lengths, do not focus on the effort required to do the entire goal, set yourself a goal, however, to do ten lengths with a correct stroke. It is more attractive and stimulating. Truth?

5. Ultimate Goal VS Instant Desire 

This technique is very powerful and effective, as it can literally transform the way you approach the tasks and goals you have to undertake. Imagine that your ultimate goal is to quit smoking, but your instant desire is to smoke that pleasant cigarette after breakfast. Now turn the tables, make your instant wish not to smoke and have vigorous health and your ultimate goal to smoke that pleasant cigarette. Ask yourself honestly: What do I really want? Vigorous, vibrant health or a "nice cigarette"? You will see how priorities have taken a qualitative leap.

Take charge of your life and do not let yourself be intimidated by procrastination. Be consistent with what you want to manifest and implement these keys decisively from TODAY.
