revisiting emails without any real action
“Procrastination
is the art of keeping up with yesterday.” ~Don Marquis
For some it’s casual while for others a major source of stress,
anxiety and missed opportunity.

optimistic about their ability to complete their tasks on a deadline, they
don’t always possess the capacity to fulfill them. And as a result many people’s
work suffers tremendously.
If
you’re not sure whether you’re procrastinating or not, use this list. To be
clear, if you meet the criteria, you ARE a procrastinator.

Filling your day with low priority tasks from
your To Do List – Sure, they’re easier to accomplish but you’re not
getting the important stuff done and that

Continually revisiting emails without any real
action – You may not know exactly what to say all the
time but that’s ok, neither does anyone else. Go ahead and respond and get it
off your plate, the quicker you do this the easier it will be to address other
work.

Sitting down to start a high-priority task,
and almost immediately going off to make a cup of coffee –
This one hits home pretty hard as I’m currently looking at an empty mug and
considering a refill. Give yourself a block of time to work and then get
coffee when you’re finished not before.

Leaving an item on your To Do list for a long
time – This one is tough, often times we can blaze through 99% of our
work really easily only to get faced with a very small task that we dread. In
reality these need to be taken care of like everything else but we put them
off.
