5 Ways to Finish a Task

Arn't you glad that's finished

Date: 22nd April 2009
If you are wondering where I have been for the past four weeks, no... not sunning myself on some exotic Island or living it up as an Internet Marketer should, I have been sat in front of my computers for almost four weeks changing my ******* Blog, you see the problem many Internet Marketers face is that on occasion they actually have to do some work. Although some will tell you that they make money while sitting in their underpants, the real truth is... just like it is with most things you have to put the work in too.

I decided that the Wordpress Blog Theme I choose was just not allowing me to do what I wanted to do, and although I could have paid someone else to sort it for me, sometimes you simply have to do some things for yourself, what kind of world would we live in if everything was done for us, personally I get great enjoyment from finishing tasks. Understandably you can get much more done when you delegate or outsource some of your work, but there is nothing better than self satisfaction.

One problem many people suffer from is PROCRASTINATION.

One book that has helped me over the years is that Best Seller many of you may have read Eat That Frog by Brian Tracy. Brian explains that there are 21 ways to stop procrastinating and get more done in less time. This new edition is revised and updated throughout, and includes brand new information on how to keep technology from dominating our time. Now although there are 21 way in this book in my opinion if I manage these five I never have a problem. Simply get organized. Being unorganized leads to chaos and feelings of being overwhelmed. Stop procrastination by organising your life. Breakdown tasks into manageable chunks to stop procrastination. Smaller tasks are less overwhelming that large jobs. Have discipline. Allow your desire for success to overcome your desire to put things off. Positive motivation. Talk yourself up with encouraging quotes. Even very successful people feed their minds with positive input each day. Get someone else´s help to stop procrastination. Ask someone to hold you accountable for completion of a task you have been procrastinating about. My wife is brilliant at this one.

I have been meaning to change my Blog for months now but just kept putting it off. So it will be interesting to read your comments, if you do have anything to add please submit them below, thanks.
