The Coach's Corner I DALE CARNEGIE TRAINING® Quick Success Tips from the Carnegie Coach 5 Quick Tips To Help Stop Procrastinating By: Steve Bobowski CEO, Dale Carnegie Training t is human nature to procrastinate on certain projects that are difficult to complete; however, the initial step of getting a project started is often the most difficult part of the process. To help overcome your procrastination, your friends at Dale Carnegie Training of Wisconsin and UP of Michigan put together 5 quick tips to help you get the job done: 1. Get Yourself Organized — Organize your thoughts, create the necessary steps or files to start, and complete your project. This will also help you put each step in order—a process that will facilitate the completion of the project. 2. Set Up A Timetable — Create a timetable and post it in your office so you can see what you have to get accomplished by a particular time. This will also serve as constant reminder of your goals. Reviewing your timetable at a meeting with others or on a regular basis by yourself will also help you focus on hitting certain benchmarks as well as flush out potential bottlenecks. 3. Overcome Your Fear Of Starting — Realize you were given a certain project, because someone knew you could handle it. To help reduce and/or eliminate any fears, think about how you accomplished other difficult projects. 4. Give Yourself A Reward — Tell yourself that you will take a coffee break or have a snack when you get a few areas of the project completed. This will keep you motivated, and do not forget to get in that extra workout; too—it is a great way to relieve stress. 5. Just Do It — Think about the finished project and how good you will feel when it is completed. This can give you the motivation to get started. Staying focused on these 5 tips will help you complete any difficult project. Planning out the process will help you stay organized and keep you on track. It will also help you overcome the most difficult part of the process, which is getting started. And don't forget—while working on any project, it is important to think about the rewards and sense of accomplishment you will have when the job is completed.
