Hi, this is Mike Pettigrew - bestselling author and serial entrepreneur since 1987 and I help ordinary people to achieve extraordinary goals, but possibly not in the way you might think. Now, a lot of people come to me and they tell me, Mike, I keep putting stuff off all of the time. I know what this is like because I've experienced it myself. I used to do this a lot in the past, and when you constantly procrastinate, it leads to a lot of suffering, a lot of self-deprecation and blame and it's like a burden that just accumulates on your shoulders all the time. But there's a better way and I'll share some tips with you in a moment, but before we get into that, I just wanted to say that if you are ready to get to your next level of abundance, success, freedom, and wealth, check out my Ultimate Success Club at achievegoalsfast.com/USC. So what do you do if you're always procrastinating - how can you change that?

Well, the first tip I have for you is to ask yourself, will it be easier to do that task later by putting it off? Or will it be easier to do it right away or as soon as possible? Now, you may find that it will be easier to do the task later if someone else that's not available right now can help you with it later on. So that's quite a valid reason. But asking yourself this question, every time you have a tendency to procrastinate something, ask yourself, will it be easier or more difficult by delaying? So that's number one. And number two is committing yourself to block time, to block out time in your calendar to do each of those tasks that you don't particularly want to do, that you keep putting off. Unless you schedule it on your calendar, chances are you'll keep putting it off.

So that's number two and tip number three is to give yourself a reward for completing that task because you know what? We all need to be incentivized to do things that we don't particularly want to do, but we've got to do anyway. So give yourself some sort of a reward for completing the task. It's almost like a carrot to a horse. It pulls you forwards and helps you get those things that you don't particularly want to do done fast. And tip number four is to get an accountability partner. If you' find that you're putting stuff off a lot- that's a pattern in your life, then find a friend who you can get to commit to calling you once a week to make sure you've moved those projects forward and you can do the same for them. Having an accountability partner who you don't want to let down is great because it just means that you get things done that you would have the tendency to put it off.

And accountability partners are really important. So that's tip number four and tip number five. I don't think you'll like this one, but it's really effective. Every morning do the things you've got to do, but you don't want to do. Do them first. Do them first. So why would you do that? Why would you want to start the day doing things you don't like? Well, you know what? It frees up your energy. You feel so good about yourself after doing those unpleasant things first, clearing them out of the way. It frees up your energy, it gives you more power, gives you more energy and life force. But as long as you keep putting them off and - it just, you have an accumulation. It's like you're being weighed down all of the time by all these different chores, but get the unpleasant things out of the way first and you'll find - you'll be able to achieve all sorts of things that you wouldn't have been able to achieve otherwise.

When you're energy - when, you have more energy. So I hope this has helped you.
