Stop procrastinating & make it routine

At the weekend I kept thinking about getting out into the garden to weed!! I spent a lot of time thinking and not doing. 

We can come up with so many reasons why not to do something, we become Masters at Procrastination. 

The escape from a pattern of behaviour is to mix it up and turn whatever you are resisting into a routine or a ritual. The more we limit the thinking around something the more we are likely to just get on and do it.  Take brushing your teeth you don't overthink it, you have a system a process you follow every morning and night.

Think how liberating it would be to stop thinking and just do the task!!

It helps if we set up a system or a pattern so that we cannot deviate too far, and also helps if you record your achievement, as this gives you a lovely endorphin hit.  Be disciplined and say that you will only miss once and not twice!!

My partner and I were both in the same procrastinating mode of thinking at the weekend.  We needed to position the garden differently, be realistic about what we could achieve and do a little and often.  We have now decided we will do one hour every weekend (weather permitting) so as not to turn the task into something huge and hard to digest.
