A Sure-Fire Way to Beat Procrastination ⏳
A Sure-Fire Way to Beat Procrastination ⏳
STARTING is the hardest step in any important work that NEEDS to be done in my life.
The reason — PROCRASTINATION.
Years after getting a good handle on not putting things off until “later”, that procrastination version of me still exists.
He wakes up every morning with me hoping that today is the day I give him the chance to put off something I need to get accomplished.
He’s always going to be there — Always lurking.
So how do I deal with procrastination every day?
Here’s one simple sure-fire way I learned from Ali Abdaal.
He calls it the 2-Minute Rule — It’s genius!
How it works:
1. Tell yourself to do {{important task}} for just 2-Minutes and then you can take a break…
That’s it.
It’s a simple strategy that works like magic!
The Results:
Once you start working — 2 minutes somehow becomes 5.
5 minutes turns to 10.
10 becomes 30 minutes.
Before you know it, you’ve tricked the procrastinating version of you into putting 30+ minutes into an important task.
Without the 2-minute strategy, you would have put that important task off until later.
So what are you waiting on?
Put this strategy to work NOW.
It’ll only take you 2 minutes 😉
PRO TIP: If you have more than 2 Minutes, here’s some more time management tips to boost productivity.
