Calling All Procrastinators...

Want to bash procrastination on the head but just haven’t got round to it?

Well, I'm going to make a bet with you. I’ll bet you, whatever is on your "to do" list, I can get you to start it and, if you’re up for the challenge, complete it in one to two hours. No fuss, no procrastinating, no putting off till tomorrow. If you finish your task, I keep your £5, if you don’t... you keep it.

Want to know how? Well, first let me tell you that story about the stressed out, busy boss/parent/executive/rocket scientist, whose daily mantra was: I’d clean out the car, do my filing, tidy the wardrobes, tackle all the clutter, fix that leaking tap, if only I could get “around to it”?

So here’s my offer: £5 for “a round tooit”.

Whatever it is you’ve been putting off – cleaning out cupboards, filing documents, sorting out your finances, fixing “stuff” - one simple (and I'm told "fun") exercise and you'll be blasting all those things on your to-do list. And you'll wonder why you ever took so long to get started in the first place.

Why is it important to get stuff done? Well, the things we put up with - that ever-growing list of things we need/should/would do - but never get around to, are drains on our energy. Imagine all those tasks are holes in a garden hose. By the time the water comes out of the nozzle, there's not enough water pressure to do the job. Another coach colleague of mine calls the list of things we put up with "the sand in your shoe". Irritating, annoying, draining.

Items on your to do list are a constant nag. I should be weeding the garden, I need to sort out all my old clothes... nag nag nag in the back of your mind. That puts you on a negative, downward energy spiral. Tackle just one of the items on the to do list and you reverse that spiral... you have more energy, and that increased energy can be used to tackle all the other items on your list.

But sometimes we need just a little kick start to get cracking. So, if you're interested in getting your hands on a little "round tooit" drop me an email - put "a round tooit" in the subject line and I'll help you bash procrastination on the head, hopefully for good.

Warmest wishes
