Overcoming Procrastination

from The Andrea Engstrom Show

Procrastination has big impact on your life, but shows up in small ways, and for most of us, we battle it every day. Today, I’m going to share how I kick procrastination to the curb. Tolerations are tiny annoyances in your life that you've avoided dealing with. Examples: A loose knob that bothers you every day when you open the door. Receipts piling up on your counter, in your car, in your purse. Not setting up auto-pay on a bill. A monthly subscription you need to cancel. Unpacking boxes after a move (4 months ago). A closet full of clothes you don't wear…you get the picture.Each of these little things on their own are not a big deal.But when you have a bunch of them, it causes strain, stress on mindset that weighs you down. So, I’ve adopted a philosophy I call Radical Responsibility. Practicing Radical Responsibility is about showing up for your life in little ways that prove to yourself that you can handle your business. One of the things I reminded myself of often when I started my new business in real estate was, "If it is to be, it is up to me." The hard truth when you start a business is that one is coming along to do this thing for you. Eventually, you can hire people to handle things, but day one - it’s up to you to take action and move things forward. My Challenge for You Today: Kick start a new practice of taking Radical Responsibility in your life by having a “Million Dollar Day.” Here’s how it works:THE MILLION DOLLAR DAYImagine your wealthy aunt offered to pay you a million dollars to complete in a single day what you’ve been procrastinating on for decades...Could you do it? Step 1.) Make a list of everything you’ve been procrastinating on & a note of how long you’ve been procrastinating each one...Step 2.)
