I am a procrastinator. I say that within the same sense that the reformed alcoholic still acknowledges his disease. I may gain some degree of treatments for it, however i have those tendencies that I must watch or they'll take over my entire life.

The best discipline I've learned may be the Now Habit.

First, let me explain exactly what the Now Habit isn't. It's not an intricate system of rewards I setup for myself if I get certain tasks done. Those haven't worked for me personally. Due to the fact I am the one in charge of administering those rewards.

Basically want those rewards badly enough, I've been recognized to simply take the reward without doing the task beforehand. Bad, bad, bad.

What the Now Habit is, is really a method of keeping my thoughts in our. I procrastinate after i fool myself into believing I can do the "dreaded thing" later. That's residing in the near future.

I also tend to get recorded on myself because of not doing the "dreaded thing" sooner. What exactly happens is that rather than congratulating myself after i finally get to work on it, I blast myself because I ought to be much farther along than I'm.

Residing in the current may be the best way to obtain things done. To help keep my mind on the now, I personally use affirmations. I repeat, "do it now," or "I will act now" to myself over and over again the whole day. Sometimes I have even write these affirmations down ten or twenty times each day, especially when I had been attempting to build this habit.

It comes with an saying (which if any reader can send me the source, I'd like to give that person proper credit) saying:

Sow a thought, reap an act.

Sow an act, reap a habit.

Sow a habit, reap a destiny.

These affirmations are my way of creating a habit. A now habit which will force the competing procrastination habit from my life.

Build the now habit. Find the now affirmations that resonate with you and repeat them countless times a day. Like all habits, in 21 days it will likely be entrenched in your consciousness. Reap your own destiny.
