Tip #2 to Trick Your Mind into Overcoming Procrastination

from The Accountability Minute:Business Acceleration|Productivity · host Anne Bachrach

Today we are talking about tip #2 for tricking your mind into overcoming procrastination, which is to Remove All Other Distractions. Yes, we’re talking about your phone. That’s probably one of the biggest distractions from doing our work. Want to know a super-secret strategy for not being distracted by your phone? Either flip your phone over, turn it off, or remove it completely from the room you are in. The simple act of not having your screen in front of you, with notifications popping up and noises sounding, can make a huge difference in making sure you are able to focus on the task at hand. If you wear a watch with notifications, the same rule applies to that. Have a browser window open with dozens of tabs but need to get started on that blog post? Separate out one browser window and just focus on getting your writing done, so you’re not tempted to see the other sites you were browsing on. The bottom line is, simplify your environment and pare it down as much as possible to remove distractions. Tune in tomorrow for tip #3 to trick your mind into overcoming procrastination. Put an end to the procrastination cycle and make progress on your goals with my Guide to Stopping Procrastination!
