Procrastination is your worst enemy. It wants to steal your dreams. You gonna let it? Thought not. Here are 4 ways to beat procrastination like it owes you money: ━━━━━━━━━⚀━━━━━━━━━ 1) Act on your ideas quickly. This might seem obvious, but it’s not. The time between having an idea and acting on it should be as short as possible. Of course you should think about what you’re doing. But you shouldn’t overthink it. After all, that’s what procrastination is: Endlessly overthinking instead of actually taking action. I had a call with @systemsJake one Friday about starting a podcast. By that Sunday we recorded our first episode. If an idea gives you energy, act on it fast. ━━━━━━━━━⚁━━━━━━━━━ 2) Work your ass off. I know what you’re thinking. “How’s that going to help me beat procrastination?” Think about it. We procrastinate because we find other things to fill our time. Something else always feels more important than the thing we’re trying to do. If you’re struggling with procrastination, up the stakes. Do more. • More DMs • More content • More comments • More researching • More product building This isn’t about hustle culture. There’s no point in doing more for the sake of doing more. But when you have a lot to do you’re forced to focus on what matters. Up the stakes, add volume, and work your ass off so procrastination doesn’t get space. ━━━━━━━━━⚂━━━━━━━━━ 3) Gamify the process Procrastination always says this: “Hey! Stop doing that. Do this instead. It’ll be way more fun!” Of course you’re going to want to do things that are fun. So reframe your creator business from ‘“work” to “play”. You don’t have to create content, engage, etc. You get to do them. Set goals for achievements that you want to accomplish. Hit those milestones. You’re going to stay in the game for a lot longer if you actually enjoy playing it. Also double down on what’s fun (for me that's building useful video resources). Find the fun in what you’re doing and gamify the process. ━━━━━━━━━⚃━━━━━━━━━ 4) Create systems A big factor behind procrastination is not knowing what to do when. If you’re overwhelmed with what you could do, then knowing what you should do is hard. Confusion + overwhelm = procrastination guaranteed. A “system” doesn't have to be complex. (In fact, it shouldn’t be.) It’s just a way of doing things. If you have a simple system for: • Content creation • Engagement • Tasks Then your time will be much better spent, and procrastination won’t be able to convince you to do something else. Have a system. Use it. Reap the benefits. Create and use simple systems that make doing the work a habit. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Thanks for reading! For more content on building your brand on 𝕏: 1.
