How to overcome procrastination and get things done

The hardest part of achieving any goal is to get started.
We don't get started and procrastinate, hesitate doing something when the goal is too large.
So don't think big. Think small. There is magic in thinking small.

What happens when we set a huge goal?
It is like trying to swallow an entire elephant.
We turn the mouse into a monster.
We think about perfectionism and so we make no progress.
We suffer from writers block and mental block when we have big goals.
We live in a fantasy land or day dream all the time when we have big goals.
In reality = nothing get's done when we think big.

The solution to this problem is to think small.
When you think small - you just do it.
The greatest secret to success is taking action.

Write down your goals on paper or type it in the computer.
Write really tiny small goals.
For example:
Read for 10 minutes.
Watch the video tutorial for 10 minutes.
Write for 10 minutes.

It is very easy for you to do something for 10 minutes.

But what happens when you achieve the small goal of achieving the 10 minute goal?
First of all you feel happy because you could keep the commitment.
You feel successful because the 10 minute goal is achieved.

On the otherhand if you set a huge goal like Read for 1 hour, Write for 1 hour, Watch video tutorial for 1 hour.
Then you will never do anything because in your mind it is a huge task to do. So naturally you procrastinate
and you become lazy when you set a huge goal.

Now magic happens when you set a really tiny goal.
When you achieve your goal of writing or reading for 10 minutes and you consistently achieve the 10 minute goal
it becomes a habit to achieve your 10 minute goals. So now you find yourself reading or writing for 15 minutes.
Then after you reach the 15 minute goal, you go for 20 minutes. Then 30 minutes. After a few months you will see
that whatever you started doing for 10 minutes - you are now able to do that task for 30 minutes and 40 minutes with ease.

You no longer procrastinate and now you can easily and effortlessly achieve the bigger goals.
So the secret to success is to start with small tiny goals and overcome the procrastination that is holding you back.

You can apply this secret to anything in life

For example if you don't feel like exercising - you can start walking for 10 minutes everyday
After you achieve the goal of walking for 10 minutes everyday - you can then make it a goal to walk for 15 minute, then 20 minute
and after a few months you will see you can easily walk for 30 to 40 minutes with ease.
