Hi All,

A little while back I had made a post on how I found real success online after working on the mental aspect and overcoming procrastination and laziness.

I achieved all this through some really cool but unconventional techniques that I developed through trial and error. A lot of folks out here showed a lot of interest in these techniques after I offered to freely share them with everyone.

The latest pdf broadcast on how to take action and how you can once and for all deal with procrastination can be freely downloaded here There isn't any opt in or anything like that.

This technique will work for you no matter what your situation.

All the best,

Matthew

      When I first developed this method all I had was 90 bucks left. So no matter what amount you have you can use this method. I really hope it works great for you as well.

      If you're broke, then Step One is hit Amazon Mechanical Turk or Freelancer.com something and get un-broke.

      A domain name is $10. Getting on AMT for six-ish hours will get you a domain name. Hosting can be $7 a month. Getting on Freelancer.com for a few hours will get you what you need.

      There's always a way out.

        I totally agree. If you really want to change your life around you can do it no matter what your situation is.

          Thanks for sharing the PDF. I think the concept has a lot of merit.

          Just a thought...

          Maybe, for those not wanting to part with money they don't necessarily have or want to give to charity in this way, the idea could be twisted a bit... e.g. you could keep a notebook and at the beginning of the month, you'd write down in one column all the dates of the month; in the second column all the possible earnings corresponding to each day (as shown in the PDF.) Then in the third column, you'd write down on a daily basis what you ACTUALLY earned. The fourth and final column could be for the difference between the two, whether positive or negative.

          Then at the end of the month you'd have a clear picture of your productiveness.

          As a result, this may also help you to put an end to procrastination.

            +1 Notebook is such a good option....just the process of writing things down is helpful for me.

    An interesting concept. I'm going to have to think a bit about what I would view as a productive day. I need to distinguish between simply being busy versus being productive. I also often feel that I was productive and focused for some portion of the day and then other parts I kind of let things slide -- not sure what I'd do in those cases -- evaluate it each hour on the hour?? Or for certain chunks of the day.

      It all depends on what you define as a productive day. If your daily effort doesn't meet this definition then don't consider it as a productive day. Within two to three days you will have arrested your problem of letting things slide during some parts of the day. All the best.

    Most people give to charity because they want to give and help and experience the good that comes from giving.

    If you had the money to give away then there wouldn't be the fear of lose to start with

    Secondly, why would one give away money they don't have ?

    How about making a goal that a percentage of the money you make you give to charity, and that giving of the extra money you make can be the driving force. By doing that your helping yourself and your helping the less fortunate. You also get a great feeling of having given and you feel good about yourself. It's win win win for everyone.

    I think giving to charity is a good thing and not something you do as a form of self punishment. At the end of the day everything is a choice. Paying a speeding fine isn't a choice, but giving to charity is. Giving or should i say "paying a self imposed penalty" in this manner leads to hate for the cause. They say you shouldn't help someone out of duty (rather than love) or it will lead to resentment to the person. I think this method is kind of on the same level.

      based on sound human psychology - people will work harder to avoid a negative than they will to achieve a positive

      example: if you want to lost 30 pounds by spring, make a public bet with a friend that if you don't you have to donate $500 to a cause you despise. You will lose the weight!

        Hey Steve, you're right. It is based on sound human psychology. In fact your suggestion of giving to a cause you despise will work wonders. Thanks for leaving a comment.

    Interesting concept...I'll have to ponder this a bit to see if it is something I would want to employ. I can see the motivating factors, but giving away money when you don't have much could be very dangerous.
