How to Stop Procrastinating

‘Someday’ is not a real day.

Procrastination can be a difficult habit to break, but here are some tips to help you stop procrastinating.

Today I want to talk about someday. 

This concept that someday when I have time when my kids are older when my bills are paid when I go back to school and get the degree I want to get when I’m an expert when I’m older when I’m younger when I’m more beautiful when I’m skinnier when I have more energy when I’m sleeping better when when when…

Someday is not a real day.

‘Someday’ is a word we use to push our goals and our dreams out further and further and further. 

Stop saying ‘someday’ and start saying ‘Today.’ 

Today is my day. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. Today is the day that I start creating my dream life.” 

Even if it seems very far away, even if you feel like you have a mountain to climb before you can get there, it doesn’t matter, because if you don’t actually put one foot in front of the other, and start on the path of the dreams that you have in your heart, they will die with you. 

I know that is morbid, and I am sorry, but that is reality. 

Do you know that the number one thing said by people on their deathbed is “I wish I would have”? They wish they would’ve spent more time with their loved ones; they wish they would have gone after their goals. They wish they would’ve written that book that they always wanted to write. 

‘Someday’ became their last day, and they didn’t get it done. 

So do something today. Anything. I don’t care what. Just do one thing that moves your goals forward, that carries the dreams that are in your heart into the real world around you. Do something that takes it from your heart out into the physical realm. 

Just one thing. 

It could even be writing an action plan. It could be writing an affirmation like “Today is my day I am worthy. Today is the day that I go after my goals.” It could be going to bed early so you can get up early tomorrow morning to spend five minutes working on something; reading a book that improves your mind; reading a book that teaches you more about what you need to know to create the business you want to create or uplevel your career or be a better communicator – or whatever it is. But today is your day. 

I love you.🤍 You got this.

Here’s how to stop procrastinating:

  1. Identify the cause: Understand why you procrastinate. Is it due to anxiety, fear of failure, or lack of motivation? Once you understand the root cause, you can take steps to address it.
  2. Break tasks into smaller parts: Large tasks can be overwhelming and lead to procrastination. Break them down into smaller, more manageable parts, and focus on completing one part at a time.
  3. Create a schedule: Create a schedule that outlines when you will work on specific tasks. This will help you stay on track and avoid procrastination.
  4. Eliminate distractions: Remove any distractions that prevent you from getting work done. This can be anything from your phone to social media.
  5. Use the Pomodoro technique: The Pomodoro technique involves working on a task for 25 minutes and then taking a 5-minute break. Repeat this cycle four times, and then take a longer break. This technique can help you stay focused and avoid procrastination.
  6. Hold yourself accountable: Set deadlines for yourself and hold yourself accountable for meeting them. This can help you stay motivated and avoid procrastination.

Remember that breaking the habit of procrastination takes time and effort. Be patient with yourself and celebrate your progress along the way.
