Positive Procrastination

So far, I am enjoying while maximizing the 1st few days of school break. I plan to finish at least 1 photobook for my son. His birthing pics and his 1st year. I have to firmly say NO to activities online and offline that would disrupt my carefully planned 2-weeks, say for instance, a friend asked me to join her in this jewelry auction event but I had to decline. Offline-wise, I have alloted an hour to check on social networking sites and chikachika :). Two weeks is too short and there are no room for procrastination. Anyways, I hope you are enjoying the remainder of your weekend and that you participated in the Earth Hour last night. Here's a nice video on procrastination and guides on beating procrastination.

10 Dead Simple Guide to Beating Procrastination.

1. First make sure you really, really, really want to do it. Seriously - don’t skip this step.
2. Keep things simple - don’t mess with tools, formatting, anything, just start.
3. Make it the first thing you do today, before checking email or anything else.
4. Clear away everything that stands in the way of doing. Including turning off the Internet.
5. Just get started. Overcome the initial barrier by diving in.
6. Tell yourself you’re just going to do 10 minutes.
7. Put something you dread more at the top of your to-do list — you’ll put off doing that by doing the other things on your list.
8. Find something about it that excites you.
9. Forget about perfection. Just start doing it, and fix it later.
10. If you keep procrastinating, re-evaluate whether you really want to do it. Consider not doing it, or putting it on the backburner.
