Few people are innocent of occasionally putting off for tomorrow what you could do today, but procrastinating can prove to be a confidence-corrupting habit.
It gives you the sense that you don’t have control over how your time is spent or whether you can complete things in a timely manner, creating a vicious cycle in which you blow a deadline, lose confidence in your ability to stay on top of things and do them on time, and then blow the next deadline.
But don’t despair. Simmons explains: “It’s actually an easy fix once you force yourself to take action on the tasks you visualize. I like to write down everything that I want to achieve for the day, and then reward myself for each task I’ve completed.
For example, if I need to read more, I’ll write down in my notepad, which I keep on my all throughout the day, that I need to read 50 pages from the book I started before I can go to bed. Make a game of it.”By focusing on the small tasks, you’ll break that procrastination habit.
