"Something about procrastination would be extremely helpful. I'm tied up with a lot of things on the personal front."

Question from a subscriber: "Something about procrastination would be extremely helpful. I'm tied up with a lot of things on the personal front and often find it difficult to execute my professional plans."


This is kinda weird...but it works.

Take these actions TODAY:

  • Get your phone and open the stop watch app.
  • Set it for 3 minutes.
  • Say this to yourself, "I'm going to have fun for 3 minutes, and then immediately do the thing I am dreading."
  • Press "go" on the timer.
  • Intentionally shun the activity you are procrastinating about for no longer than 3 minutes. Go do something fun, wildly fun, like run around lip syncing to "Living on a Prayer" by Jon Bon Jovi.
  • Immediately, without pause, coast right into the dreaded activity. Do it for 7 minutes.
  • Repeat the 3 minutes "off"/ 7 minutes "on" cycle for 10 minute intervals until you are broken of the procrastination and the work starts flowing again.

Yeah?


Yaaaaah.


BOOM - there you go, today's marketing tip for ya!
