Warrioooorrrs.... Come out to playyyy - quick question for ya?

I used to think that but actually from research its the single most debilitating problem for all Internet Marketers and as a small business, its certainly something to prioritize

A lot of IMers don't go to the Mind Warrior section and don't see that as important but those who are successful will have resolved the issue of procrastination before they get their big pay offs

My thoughts though, each to their own

Great answer Leo

Making announcements makes you accountable and for many that forces them to get tunnel vision and only see the 'end goal'

To Do lists come in all shapes and sizes and some people find those overwhelming. In our business we can have lists longer than a shopping receipt so we need to find a way to segment those.

Definitely - my fav, turn off the social media distractions, emails only in the afternoon and more of that time management

thanks for that

I coach people to achieve success and the biggest thing that stops people is procrastination. I call it the stealer of time, money and dreams.
I have the reasons why I want to make a change in my life next to my computer so every time I log on it's there.
Planning is also a good way so look at the time you have in the week and write a list of all the things you need to achieve on your project. Then schedule time in your calendar and realistically show your tasks on each day. If this doesn't work then just make sure you use the time you have set aside and go through each task until it's done.
For me it's about being focused on the "why" or the benfits of getting the project done.
Also reward yourself for the action you've taken.

yeah Fin, every time I hear the word Warrior - that scene springs to mind - lol

Brilliant - hourly checkups

And Baseball Fury's - there were some scary ones, did you also see "The Wanderers"?? Same thing but more a story, they had the "Ducky Boys" huge great big gang


yeah Pomodoro based on cycles of time to work more efficiently and focus - good stuff for some

I like to play with the timeline Noona when I'm coaching - and a little bit of 'chunking' up and down helps too

I have a family of ADHD, ADD & Dyslexia (& Dyscalcula) so I'm well used to this subject and know more about it than my son's Pediatrician - I call them out all the time on their lack of knowledge.

I have to chunk my thoughts up to the big goal before chunking it back down into sections. I find this helps with my kids too. And I like to remind them that having a 'different style of learning' can be a good thing (if you learn to ignore the cultural and education systems that suggest otherwise

Love it Alexa -

gone with the wind ... let those worries blow away ...

I once heard someone say "If your business were a person and they asked you at the end of every day how you had helped them today, what would you say?". That has stayed with me for years...

On a more practical note, I'm just getting back into using Action Machine Pro as a ticking "bomb" in the background, forcing me to get on with the list and nothing else.

Both John Reese & Frank Kern speak about reaching that point, as do many people who become very successful. When it matters the most we tend to push through our fears and ego and reach for our goal.

In NLP terms Karen you are talking about setting a goal by 'moving away from something you don't want' and the is the driver. It is possible to also succeed by moving 'towards' what you do want. But what most people are not good at, is making that image truly compelling - as compelling as the idea of moving away from failure or hard times.

It can be done though and often entrepreneurs begin to realise this after their first major success - even if like in Frank Kerns experience that is a matter of $2500, that was his emotional breakthrough

There is hope for us all

That's a great method Replenish - by setting a goal you define your outcome and move aside all the distractions as they don't fit with the object of your of your desire - and quietness is also good.

I get in the bath and just wallow about staring at the water ripple reflecting on the ceiling and let my mind take me on the journey - I get lots of ideas and inspiration in the bath

OMG Streamfish!! Right back to being 13!
