Practical Advice on Procrastination
My latest contribution to AOL.com appeared today and has already been republished on the home page on CNN.com/money and has been selected for publication soon as Editor’s Choice on LinkedIn Today.
It’s my latest thinking on how to replace procrastination with drive. It’s not some panacea piece. I’ve found that procrastinators can’t be “cured.” However, like high blood pressure, it can be controlled so it doesn’t kill you. The article shares what is working best for my clients.
By the way, a technique for reducing procrastination that I didn’t mention in the article is to hire someone to nag you for a week. For example, s/he might phone you to be sure you wake up on time, then call an hour later to be sure you’re doing the work you’re suppposed to be doing, and then calling throughout the day to dispense praise or strictures, even perhaps such tough strictures as “You’re acting like a loser. You said you really want to change. Now do you?”
