Do not delay your action thinking how much
time it will take.The time will pass anyway.- Saying
1.What should I do differently to take action
faster?
2.When do I plan to take
that next step?Do I have any plan in place?
3.What will I lose by taking that next step?What will
I gain?
4.Why should I not
take action immediately?
5.If I don’t feel like acting right now then when
is the next best time?Have I put that in writing anywhere so far?
6.What have I gained
by so many past episodes of procrastination?What do I have to show for it?
7.The purpose for
which I am postponing action,can that
itself be put off for some time till I finish my task?If not,then when is the
next best moment for starting off?
8.Can I break down
this massive task to smaller sub-actions?Have I tried to do that?
9.Do I need any
external help to subdivide my tasks for initiating action?
10.The task at hand is
very important ,yet have I highlighted my
purpose for completing it?Why is it important to me?
11.Whose example can I
follow for inspiring myself to take action?If they could do something
worthwhile,couldn’t I as well?
12.By postponing this
action temporarily am I gaining any disproportionate benefits from my
procrastination?
13.Taking action may be painful.To soften my
own resistance is there a midcourse reward I can give myself? Does that spur me
to get going?
14.Do I understand the
meaning of this “the pain of the effort involved is far less than the ecstasy
of the reward”?
15.Do I respect
myself? And therefore give myself the reward of a consistently accomplished task?
16.Three days/ten
days/twenty days from today where will I be if I take this action and finish it?How
will I feel?And what will I feel in the same timeframe if I don’t?
17.Till now in my life I have accomplished
much,including all small and big tasks.Did I learn anything?Did postponing any
of the work initially add to my comfort,efficiency,or quality of work?If not
then why delay action now either?
18.Who are my role models for work
ethics? Which great luminaries(in any field of action) do I greatly admire and
respect?Did any of them achieve massive success without hard,diligent,sustained,persistent
labour ?
19. Hard,diligent work is often a sign of humility,and belief in
the simplicity of labour. Does my procrastination not smack of vanity,arrogance,and pride?
20.What kind of habits do I want to
cultivate regarding my personal work ethics?None at all?Or highly empowering
aspects like discipline,consistency,persistence etc?Will this enhance or reduce
my self esteem?
Over to you my friends..........
