2 Methods That Help Procrastinators Succeed
Ever had a huge goal that you never seem to make any progress on?
When you have a big goal such as “start a business” or “clean out the garage”, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by it and procrastinate. You end up not making any progress at all on it, or even if you do make some progress, you feel bad about not getting it finished – rather than feeling good about making progress on it.
Too many people allow themselves to fill their to-do list with large, rather vague projects, like: “clean the house.” Or if you have a business, you might have a goal such as “increase productivity.”
The problem with these goals is they’re too big and too vague. It’s hard to know where to start. You’ll find yourself staring at your cluttered house or office, mind blank, until you decide to go do something else.
(somewhat) common advice: when you have a large vague goal, break it up into small tasks to get it done
What you do is break the project down into specific tasks. Starting a business or cleaning the house is not a small task that you can knock out in an hour or two and cross off your to-do list.
Break it down into tasks. Some people benefit from breaking goals down into smaller projects – like cleaning the living room. Others need to break it down into even smaller tasks, such as dusting everything in the living room.
Whatever it is, narrow it down until you have a starting point that actually gets you started. Doesn’t matter if you have to break down your list into tiny pieces like “dust the lamp” or “reorganize pencil-holder”, do it. If it helps you to complete your task, that’s all that matters.
Make sure you write all this stuff down too. Really. Because If you try to keep your to-do list in your head, all the little pieces will eventually turn back into “clean the house”, and you’ll be right back where you began.
And now for some not so common advice.
…you must build momentum through DAILY action
This is where most people screw up.
They don’t create or maintain momentum with their goals.
Lots of people made New Years resolutions last month. Unfortunately, most of them already gave up on those resolutions.
And there is one word that is causing a lot of these failures.
What’s that one word?
TOMORROW
It’s really easy to convince ourselves we’ll do something “tomorrow”. And we have every intention of actually doing it tomorrow at the time it’s said.
Either way, you’ve lost a day of your life that could have been spent getting closer to that goal, and you’ll never get that day back.
The biggest problem is it doesn’t usually happen “tomorrow”. Something always comes up that pushes it to the next day, and the next, and the next. Eventually it’s weeks, months or years later and no progress has been made on that big goal.
And again, the main reason this happens is the goal is just too big, which is why I tied these two concepts (breaking the goal down into small tasks, and working on it on a daily basis) together for you here.
When something seems too overwhelming to tackle, it becomes too easy to procrastinate on it until “tomorrow”.
So here is what you do:
(This is one of the key things that turned my financial problems around.)
Here’s the “magic”, breakthrough solution (note the sarcasm) that will fix everything and get you on track to complete all your goals:
(the reason for the sarcasm is because I don’t believe there is any ‘one’ single thing that can fix all your problems. Too many people are searching for that ‘one’ magical piece of advice that will fix their whole life, and it just doesn’t exist. But anyway, that’s a topic for another day…)
–> To accomplish anything big in life, you must commit to doing something EVERY single day to make progress on it. Don’t let a single day go by without making at least -some- progress. The key here is momentum.
So for example, if your goal is to eliminate all the clutter in your house, rather than try to do it all at once while also preventing new clutter from forming, instead spend 15 minutes each day sorting through clutter and throwing things away. At the same time, start to pay more attention on a daily basis to not forming new clutter.
Forget about working on the project for three hours on Wednesday or two hours on Saturday. That just doesn’t work. Working on a huge project like that for several hours seems like too much for most people, but spending 10-15 minutes a day can be done pretty easily.
Simply by practicing these 2 methods, you’ll have more success and accomplish more goals in 1 year than most people will in 10 or more!

you have a bad habit (don’t worry, everyone does it)
It’s a bad habit, but everyone does it. Even me! No one is perfect, and I bet every person on earth does this sometimes.
Some people do it less than others, and as a result they are happier and more successful than everyone else!
Oprah credits her success to not doing it.
So what’s this bad habit?
Complaining.
Did you know that complaining is severely damaging to your health, financial success and your entire life?
Few people realize just how damaging it actually is.
Studies have shown people who complain frequently tend to have poor health, less satisfying and enduring relationships, and don’t tend to do as well in their jobs or make as much money.
By complaining, the focus is always on what’s wrong, on what’s going badly. But the key to getting what you want in life is focusing your energy and attention on what you DO want, rather than what you don’t want.
If complaining is so bad, why do so many people do it?
Well that’s simple – because it’s a habit.
Most people have been doing it their entire lives.
In fact, many people don’t even realize how often they complain.
Don’t believe me? For the next 24 hours, pay attention to how many times you hear someone begin a conversation with you by whining about something that didn’t go the way they wanted it to!
That’s not the only reason complaining is so common, and such a difficult habit to break.
People also complain because:
- It’s a good conversation starter.
It’s really easy to begin a conversation and quickly connect with someone by complaining.
(Can you believe it’s going to rain AGAIN today?).
If this is the situation where you find yourself complaining, then what you can do to get over this particular hurdle is, instead of using a complaint to start talking to someone – complement them. It’s a much more positive way to start a conversation.
- Complaining keeps people from having to take action.
This is the #1 reason most people complain, because then they can procrastinate and have plenty of excuses why they aren’t reaching their goals. There will always be plenty of excuses for not doing something that needs to be done. Too much traffic, broke your leg, the computer isn’t working, etc. It’s much too easy to complain about it instead of finding a solution.
Not only that, but for some crazy reason, we’ve been taught it’s okay to talk negatively about yourself, but it’s not okay to “brag” about what you’re doing well!
- It pre-excuses failure
Another very common reason people complain is to pre excuse failure. For instance, showing up late for a meeting and complaining about how bad the traffic was, or how there was a huge line at the dry cleaner, etc.
It takes all the responsibility off of that person, they no longer have to own up to the fact that they should have left earlier or been more prepared.
How do you stop complaining?
It’s tough to stop this habit, particularly if you’ve spent most of your life doing it. The first step to stop this behavior is to become aware of your complaints, and then replacing the complaint about what you don’t like, with a solution for getting what you do want.
This doesn’t mean you act like everything is great and you aren’t bothered by anything. Instead, you stop dwelling on things that are upsetting you, and find ways to improve the situation.
If there is absolutely nothing you can do to improve the situation you’re unhappy about (such as, if you’re upset that it’s raining), then you change the way you think about it. Sulking about things you can’t change is just a waste of time and energy.
Don’t play the victim by simply announcing that things aren’t going your way. Figure out what you DO want to happen, and seek ways to turn that into reality.
What can you do about the negative situation? Stop focusing on problems, seek solutions instead.
