Become A Victor Over Change

Here are some ideas to help make you a victor over change rather than a victim of change: You may not like a lot of what I will say - but having been someone who often would become over-whelmed by the tasks he left undone - I know what I am talking about. So consistent with thie subject line - let's stop procrastinating and get things done.... I hope you are with me ..

Set Your Wake Up Clock

1/2 hour earlier

Freeing Up Your BrainStop sleeping in - set your wake-up clock one -half hour earlier tomorrow and then keep your clock at that setting. Use this extra time to think about the best way to spend your day - you can still stay in bed.
Here is your number 1 motto - memorize and repeat your new motto:- Action TNT - action today - not tomorrow. Now handle each piece of incoming mail only once - are you getting this? Answer your e-mail either early in the morning or after working hours - this saves a lot of time. And block out specific times to initiate your phone calls - take incoming calls - and to meet people in person. Pretty easy stuff -right? Then how come you don't do it?

When People Take Your Time

provide solution-based feedback

Waiting for that day offOne of the things we all run into is people and they take a lot of our time - or that is what they want to do. So when people tell you their problems, always provide them with solution-oriented feedback. Rather than taking on their problem as your own assignment, first, ask them what is the next step that they plan to take, or what they would like to see happen. This works and they actually solve their own problem.

Finish What You Start

be constrctively helpful

This is very important - always finish what you start! Be sure to concentrate with all your energy and intensity - without any distraction - on successfully completing your current major project - do you do that? Well - you should!!
Here is another good piece of advice for you - always be constructively helpful instead of unhelpfully critical. Single out someone or something to praise instead of participating in group griping - grudge collecting or pity parties - negative people aren't worth your time - and gossiping is just plain counter-prtoductive!

Limit Your TV

make a list of 5 projects you have put off

Happily scheduling her dayYou should limit your television viewing or Internet surfing to mostly educational or otherwise enlightening programs. Watch no more than one hour of television per day or night, unless there is a special program you have been anticipating. The Internet has also become a great procrastinator's hideout for tension-relieving instead of goal-achieving activities. Make a list of 5 necessary but unpleasant projects you've been putting off, with a completion date for each project. Immediate action on unpleasant projects reduces stress and tension. It is very difficult to be active and depressed at the same time. Remember your motto -TNT.....

Seek Out A Role Model

good luck means laboring under correct knowledge

Likes Hang Out With LikesYou must seek out and converse with your successful role model and mentor. It is a great tool to actulally learn from others' successes and setbacks - as you will inevitably improve your productio. You must truly listen - really find out how your role model does it right. Understand that fear - as an acronym, is false evidence appearing to be real - and that luck usually means - laboring under correct knowledge. The more information you have on any subject - especially case histories - the less likely you'll be to put off your decisions. Read this module again - you are who you hang out with... usually your pay will be the average of your 5 best friends - try it and see if I am correct - want to be a millionaire hang out with millionaires!!

Accept Problems As A Necessary Evil

view change as normal

Look at change as maturityYou need to accept your problems as inevitable off-shoots of your change and your progress. With the ever more rapid pace of change in society and business - you will be overwhelmed unless you view change as normal and you learn how to look for its positive aspects - such as new opportunities and improvements - rather than bemoan the negative Change can be both good and bad - it all depends on your view-point....

No future decisions

and present decisions affect your future

A woman whose motto is your new motto:- Action TNT Guys, you can thke this to the bank - here is actually no such thing as a "future" decisions - there are only present decisions and that will affect your future. Procrastinators wait for just the right moment to decide - it never comes! I want to implore you to move from Procrastination to Proactivation...yoou can quote me and now I hope you will always say----- Action TNT - action today - not tomorrow.

GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE!

If you try to wait for that perfect moment - you will become a security-seeker who is running in place - unknowingly digging yourself deeper into your rut - if you wait for every objection to be overcome - you will attempt nothing.....

Procrastination

is a dream killer

Great books available on Amazon - what are you waiting for? Remember form now on your motto is ....active-TNT - so prove it to yourself and find oout why you do it!! Remember I am a wellness coach and mentor wishing to share what I have elearned over my years here on Earth.....
