Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday.  ~Don Marquis

Here are Three Top Tips from Fran Piekarski, President of Remedease to help you overcome procrastination.

1. Forget about being perfect and 100% sure.        

The paralyzed perfectionist waits until he/she gathers enough information to be sure they can accomplish a task perfectly. Since we can never be 100% sure or 100% perfect: preprare, proceed and adjust as you go.  To get to great, you have to get off the dime in the first place. 

2. Overwhelm causes brain freeze and then nothing gets done. 

Don’t look at the whole picture and think that you have to conquer it all at once. Whether you are downsizing, starting a business or just cleaning out your office - sweeping change is still done one step at a time.  

3. If you’re a Dread Head remember, what you dread isn’t going away until you do it.

If you’ve got stuff piling up - chances are you’re dreading it.  The longer you dread it, the more it drains your energy.  You’ve probably spent more time worrying about what should be done than the time it takes to just do it.  To conquer dread, schedule a ”blue meanie”  and then do it as early in the day as possible. Don’t argue with yourself. Don’t bargain with yourself. Just do it and think how happy you’ll be about having done it! 

If you’re buried in dread or stuff call Fran. She specializes in helping the chronically disorganized and hoarders.
