Becoming a Self-Starter
Nobody likes procrastination - the act of putting tasks off until a later
time. Whenever you let progress on lower-level tasks stand in the way of
higher-level tasks, you are procrastinating. But becoming a self-starter,
well, how exactly do you do that?
If you're that rare person who recognizes the procrastinator within and who is
committed to taking proactive steps to minimize it, this resource is just
right for you! As you'll learn in Becoming a Self-Starter, procrastination
is a habit that, like other habits, can be changed over time.
Society produces more information in a hour than we could ingest in the rest
of the week or month. Previous generations were never confronted with the
number of potential distractions that we face today.
Becoming a Self-Starter addresses current reality and offers scores of ways
to get into action faster, easier, and with less mental turmoil. It also
offers insights that you don't see other places. For example, depending on
the task, your energy level, where you're employed, and such, sometimes one
strategy will work well for you, and sometimes the opposite will prove more
effective. Don't fall in love with any single approach.
One of the most insidious results of procrastination occurs when you allow
it to dampen your experience of the present. Suppose you take work home over
the weekend, but never look at it. Because you know you are supposed to work
on it, you decline to participate in leisure activities that would have
actually contributed to a better frame of mind.
Even if you're a dyed-in-the-wool procrastinator, undoubtedly there are some
areas of your life where you shine. Nobody procrastinates about everything,
and each of us have areas in our lives in which we don't procrastinate at
all! This app offers you ideas on how to shine more often and consistently
be the type of Self-Starter that you know you can be!
