Stop Procrastinating And Just Do It!

Well, that might be easier said than done.  But let me tell you, as a former procrastinator, myself,

life is so much calmer when you do just "do it".

 

Way back when, in my younger days, and when I would procrastinate, I would say, "I may get it done at the last minute, but I always get it done."  And I did. 

 

But as I learned better organizational skills and also how Universal Laws worked I changed.  I learned that you get what you put your dominant attention on.  

 

It didn't take me long to realize that the most successful people get a lot done, don't procrastinate and also seem to have a lot of spare time.

 

That is when I decided I was going to just "do it" and get things done.  Handle them once and be done with it and then move on to something else or just relax.

 

What I found out was that thinking about doing something takes as much, if not more, energy than just doing it. 

 

For example, you could just do those dishes after dinner and it would probably take 5 to 15 minutes.

 

That's right!  Only 5-15 minutes. 

 

It is really amazing how little time most tasks people dread take.  

 

We made a little unofficial study of it and timed doing some tasks like paying the bills, doing a load of laundry, cleaning up after a meal, etc. and found that most were less than 30 minutes and all were under an hour.

 

OR you can think about it for hours and unknowingly wear yourself out because you have now done the dishes (or any other task you keep putting off) hundreds of times in your mind. 

 

No wonder people are so exhausted.  It is mentally exhausting to do something over and over again in your head and then the body gets exhausted, too.

 

If it needs to be done, just do it.  If it cannot be done, then let it go and do what can be done. 

 

When you do small tasks to total completion right away, you will be amazed at how much easier it is.

 

It is also amazing how much more time you have and how much calmer you feel when you just do the things you need to do immediately.

 

Try it.  Like all habits, it might take a while to get into it, but once you do, like me, you will never want to go back.

 

The other benefit of completing small tasks right away is the sense of accomplishment you get which raises your vibration like I posted yesterday.   Things You Can Do To Raise Your Vibration

 

And since raising your vibration is what will help you create the life you want, that is an even more important reason to get things done.  :-)
