5 Essential Strategies for Entrepreneurs to Overcome Procrastination and Boost Productivity
I love planning.
Lists. Apps. Color coding: even better.
The main obstacle for me is planning the plan of action.
Here are the steps I take to make sure my color-coded plan gets attacked:
Turn boulders into rocks: Try dividing big projects into manageable sections and start with one you can handle. This will give you momentum almost instantly, making the daunting task seem easier.
Make the time: You’ll be able to work efficiently if you assign specific times or deadlines to your crucial tasks.
Get it done first: Don’t leave tasks in the nearly-done stage. The sense of achievement you get from crossing things off your list motivates you to finish them.
Stay focused: Make adjustments to your surroundings to create a more focus-friendly environment. This might involve removing unnecessary distractions until you finish your priority.
Practice Self-Compassion: Don’t try to be perfect at productivity. Meet deadlines and celebrate milestones.
Increase your focus and productivity by turning your planning into a solid plan of action.
