This week, Eric and the staff at ADHD reWired welcome back one of our fan favorites. Alan Brown returns to discuss “5 ways to Crush Procrastination”.
Productivity knows few if any greater foes than procrastination. This can manifest itself as a feeling of being stuck. Sometimes, even though we want something to be completed, our lack of ability to focus on one thing prevents us from even starting the task or project.
Today, Alan Brown will show us that when you have a big meal to eat, it is best to devour it in a series of courses instead of a single bite.
Alan speaks of a cycle of procrastination.
-
We become overwhelmed
-
We look for an escape
-
We Procrastinate (check our email, or check Facebook.)
-
As a result, our to-do list continues to grow
-
We fall further behind
-
This leads to under-achieving or screwing up
-
We are then… Miserable
If you have had the pleasure of ever seeing Alan Brown’s award winning ADD Crusher videos you may remember hearing Alan say:
“YOU ARE JUST KICKING YOUR OWN A$$”
Alan’s method of crushing his procrastination is primarily achieved through his asking himself specific questions. For example, Alan will ask himself, “Are any of my to-do’s a problem right now?”
Sometimes the things we believe to be the most critical have the least amount of significance in the end. Alan helps us by offering methods to determine what is truly important and how to attack these tasks.
