Synopsis

Now that you comprehend the 3 productivity actions more fully, you may start practicing them. There are 5 keys to success:

2. Extravagantly reinforce each tiny success
3. Dismiss “failures” except to acquire knowledge out of them
4. Expect plateaus and lapsing
5. Stay at it!

Utilize It

1. Begin little and aspire for tiny advances

“Begin little” stands for practicing the 3 productivity actions (a.k.a., “not procrastinating”) on no more than 2 or 3 tasks at a time and the tasks you practice on ought to be simple ones. Beginning with that novel you’ve been blocked on for 10 years is likely an unsound idea.

Household chores are an excellent thing to at the start practice on as we tend to procrastinate on them not out of dread, but merely because they’re ho-hum. So practice not procrastinating on washing up the dishes or laundry (or mowing the lawn, or taking the automobile in for an oil change, and so forth.), if those are jobs you routinely procrastinate on. (Practice actions #1 and #2 only, obviously you don’t wish to spend a lot of time doing chores.) Easy personal care tasks like flossing and taking vitamins are additional great candidates for practice.

If the tasks you’re practicing on appear embarrassingly little or trivial, you’re doing it precisely right! The key is to get used to the feeling of not procrastinating, and you’ll only have the chance to do so if you at first practice on activities that offer a high chance of success. Likewise, pay attention to the (likely numerous) areas of your life where you don’t procrastinate, and observe the feeling of sedate self-command you have while approaching those tasks.

It’s that same feeling you’re aiming to arouse around the tasks you’re presently procrastinating on and are well on your way to resolving the issue. (Yes, you’re aiming to produce particular feelings inside yourself. successful individuals consciously work to accomplish particular moods, as opposed to passively accepting whatever emotions happen to grab them. A lot of unsuccessful individuals, in contrast, don’t even recognize that that’s even possible to accomplish.)

Go on practicing the 3 productivity actions on easy stuff, and you’ll by nature get better at not procrastinating. You’ll then go less afraid, ambivalent and conflicted, and begin to make the essential shift from viewing procrastination as an inherent character defect to seeing it as a behavioral issue you may resolve. In the meantime, getting the dishes done, flossing regularly, and so forth, will themselves have a beneficent outcome on your mood, and likewise empower you to arrive at more changes.

Only after you’ve gotten good at not procrastinating on the trivial junk should you start practicing it on your other ambitious endeavor. Now, it’s doubly crucial for you to begin small. If you’re a writer, don’t set out to put down an entire chapter, but only a page or paragraph. Or, if you’re an entrepreneur, don’t aim to spend the whole morning doing sales calls, but only 10 minutes.

Put differently, when operating in the scary realm, begin very small. And merely after you’ve gotten great at not procrastinating at tiny tasks, do you take on the greater ones. And only after you’ve gotten great at doing the actions for 10 minutes (or 5, or 2, or whatever works for you at first), do you begin practicing action #3 slowly working up your endurance so that you may do your scary work for 15, 20, 30, etc., minutes at a time.

If you abide by my advice to “begin little”, you’ll have many successes, by which I mean cases when you were able to reject procrastinating and get right to work. It’s crucial, in those cases, to celebrate your accomplishment! Pat yourself on the back, indulge in a treat, and broadly make a fuss over yourself. This sort of positive reinforcement not only advances your confidence and betters your mood, but helps imprint your accomplishment in your memory so that you may call on it when required. It doesn’t matter how little the accomplishment is. Even if it’s something as easy as taking your vitamins precisely when planned or taking them at all, if you often neglect to give yourself at least a mental pat on the back. For greater accomplishments, make certain to make a huge fuss and give yourself some sort of tangible reward.

When a youngster fails to meet a goal, the mean parent tends to criticize and blame, while the good, effective parent provides compassion and understanding. The good parent likewise helps the youngster keep the failure in perspective, reminding him that the “failure” likely isn’t as dreadful as he thinks it is, and that there are plenty of other things he has succeeded at. With the good parent’s help, the youngster grows up to be a resilient grownup that is not so afraid of failure that he procrastinates.

You have to be your own good parent, which means that whenever you bomb at not procrastinating or another goal, you shouldn’t criticize or blame yourself, but rather respond with compassionate objectivity. Critique, depletes your self-regard, sabotages your self-assurance, mischaracterizes the issue, and only makes things worse. Rather, be a compassionate observer and analyst of your situation, holding in mind that there are frequently perfectly great reasons behind procrastination, even if the procrastination reaction itself isn’t optimal. The proper reaction to failure is to ponder it just long enough to come up with a resolution so that the same thing doesn’t occur again:

A plateau is when you stay stuck at a level of accomplishment in spite of repeated attempts to move ahead. Lapsing is when you really lose ground and get less effective. Both are discouraging, and yet both are an inevitable piece of any personal growth process. If you’ve an “off” day, week, month or year, don’t pick apart, or shame or blame yourself: simply accept it for what it is, and hope to do better shortly.

Plateaus and lapsing frequently indicate that you’re setting too ambitious goals. If that’s indeed the case, the resolution is to go back to a prior level of achievement you’re comfortable with and remain there for a while till you find your confidence. Then, remember to set humbler and attainable goals in the future.
