6 Habits To Avoiding And Overcoming Procrastination

Try to put me in a room
Distraction less
(Everything is everything)
Spare me from worse
In the studio, I would finally burn
(All the time is all you got)
Tempted to work
~Amy Winehouse~

In short procrastination is a habit if you will, a very bad habit, that consists in putting off something for the next day. Procrastination is to blame for most of our productivity problems and yet it seems that very few people actually do something about it. And this doesn’t solely apply to your personal life either, it just as well happens in your career as well, because chances have it you’ll behave the same way at work as well. Missed opportunities, frenzied work hours, stress, overwhelm, resentment, and guilt are just a few consequences.

1. Take It One Step At a Time

2. You Don’t Need To “Have To,” You Need To “Want To”

3. Brainstorm Your Way Out

4. Time Yourself

5. Eliminate All Other Distractions

6. Stop Being A Perfectionist

10 Morning Habits to Build Your Day Upon

Over the past year I have come to see the morning as the foundation upon which I build my entire day - mentally, physically, and spiritually. I find that if I start the day by doing the habits listed in this article, I am usually happier, healthier, more productive throughout the day. In contrast, if my morning is chaotic and rushed I find that my energy runs out later in the day and I generally get a lot less done. Here then are 10 morning habits I believe will provide you with a solid foundation upon which to go about your entire day:

1. Wake Earlier

2. Have a ‘”Holy Hour”

3. Meditate

4. Visualize the Day Ahead

5. Read and/ or Listen to Motivational Material

6. Think the Impossible

7. Eat a Nutritious Breakfast

8. Exercise

9. Sharpen Your Brain

10. Take Time to Look Good

Improve Your 'Hunched over the PC' Posture

One of the most neglected aspects of our health is our posture. Amongst all the guidelines on healthy eating and workout methods, this essential facet of our well-being is often overlooked.

Stretch One: The “Superman”

Stretch Two: The “Reverse Superman”

Stretch Three: Hamstrings

Stretch Four: Posterior Chain

Stretch five: Glutes (backside)

Stretch Six: Hip flexors

And that’s the six stretches! Many of my clients have had great results just from improving their flexibility, some have even been on the brink of surgery after exhausting a lot of other options. Correcting the underlying postural imbalances is a great help, but in the first instance these stretches will set you on the right path.
