I have done this on projects and in a business I started. Once things seem to get going I start to back away from it. I don't know if its fear or boredom. What ever it is I haven't been able to overcome it. It has been holding my success back for years now. Any thoughts?

Any thoughts?

Give yourself a reward once you’ve completed a task-> I like this advice :). You're absolutely right about procrastination: we consistently avoid difficult tasks and deliberately look for distractions. We must free ourselves from this harmful habit. Shaquille ONeal said once: “Excellence is not a singular act, but a habit. You are what you repeatedly do.” Big truth from a big and great man :). .-= David | ilcantone.com´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ilcantone/~3/k9Bt52LFayk/" rel="nofollow">CREATIVE THINKING: HOW TO BE AN INNOVATOR FOR LIFE</a> =-.

I LOVE the idea of "No Crastination"...perfect! I also like your method of doing the hardest thing first. It makes total sense. It's interesting what works for one, doesn't really work for another. Take Belinda (see above) for example, she starts with a smaller task first to get going. The opposite of what you tend to do. But the thing is...both work. :) I think the key is for us to find what works for us individually and most of all, stick to it. :) Thanks for your awesome comment Robin!

If not, we tend to get into routines like you say and we sure as heck don't want to create a procrastination routine in your lives. :) Thanks again!
