I could put the 'pro' in to procrastination. If I hadn't learned and developed some tools and techniques to keep me from getting distracted and putting things off I'm sure I'd end up in a real mess.
And because these tools work for me, I thought I would share them with you.
Here are 3 ways to keep on track and make sure you get things done.
1) Put yourself on record.
A mate of mine told me he wanted to do  a bungee jump - and never did. Then one night we were at a bbq with 20 other guests. Half way through dinner he mentioned it again with his usual level of zero commitment. I had to do something (you know, to help) so I made an announcement! James would be doing a bungee jump for charity in the next 90 days and he would like everyone to sponsor him. £400, lots of wows and pats on the back later and he was committed!
Who are you going to tell to make sure you get something done?
2) Record your progress
If you're on a mission and you want to stay on track, then a great way to do this is to keep your thoughts and achievements on record. Use a diary, or even better, start a blog (see below for a brilliant example of this). This is a tough discipline but it's a brilliant way to keep check on how you are doing. Then use it as a reference of your experience along the way.
3) Buddy up.
If you want to go to the gym on a regular basis you are much more likely to go if you have a buddy to work out with you. I almost always exercise with my wife. On the days she doesn't feel like exercising (rarely) I encourage her. On the days when I don't feel like exercising (often) she encourages me.
It's not just the gym though, buddy up on anything and it will encourage you to see it through. Think about it, when you work with a buddy you don't just let yourself down - which is easy, you let a friend down and that's much harder.
Let us know what you think of this post here.
A couple of weeks ago I was introduced to a blog by a guy called Rob Collins. He'd just bought 'Flip It' and was writing about how he used the techniques from the book in his life.
Rob is a refreshingly honest and practical blogger. Regularly he writes brilliantly insightful and often humorous posts about his life and how he's taken the concepts of 'Flip It' and applied it into his life. (I loved the post about buying his father a present - it's brilliant!)
Have a look here and leave Rob a comment. I know he'd love to hear from like-minded people.
Or perhaps you've got your own ideas and stories you'd like to pass on? All are welcome!
