What is one sole element in our life’s that causes us to never achieve our ambitions or always continuously postponed doing first things first; the answer to this question is procrastination.

Procrastination is a strange phenomenon that seems to make our life’s more pleasant but yet instead it always does the opposite and adds stress, depression, disorganization, regret and frequently failure. In my book I call it self inflicted pain. You purposely while been aware of the consciences stab user self the effects may not appear immediately, but may manifest with time.What you don’t do now could have great implications in your life, could be financial, job wise, relationship wise purchasing a house or certain product, not doing it now could leave you regretting for the rest of your life or blaming others for your misfortune.

We spend so much time whining weather or not that a particular thing can be achieved or not. Being reluctant to take risks or try something new, staying at home or in the same old job, getting sick when faced with an unpleasant job, avoiding confrontations or decisions, blaming others or the situation, Not paying bills on time or credit card debts.

We making big plans but never carrying them out. We have business ideas but never get around to doing them until its too late then we will be like hey I once had this idea, but this company did something similar and made millions.We continuously struggle to get rid of procrastination. We schedule and plan , we make promises and make resolutions that never come to pass, we organize and reorganize. Generally, we accomplish a short lived refreshment from procrastination, and then crash soundly back into it.

The core fundamental difference between highly successful person and ordinary person? The successful person has mastered the art of avoiding procrastination and simply does what needs to be done first things first, while the ordinary person has not mastered the art of not avoiding it thus continues to procrastinate

Wayne Dyer “Procrastination is one of the most common and deadliest of diseases and its toll on success and happiness is heavy”.

Some ways of overcoming procrastination

There is no right way or wrong way of breaking the procrastination habit. We all have the ability as individuals to make choices and take action upon those choices, you have a choice to read this post and practice the steps outlined below, you have a choice not to.

Start taking an active role in your life and be a doer

Be open minded

Change cannot come unless you want it to come and you take it upon your self to do something about it.

Have a drive to do what is required

Don’t be Perfectionists They start tasks but put off completion until it meets their standards for perfection. However, these standards are most likely not recognized or appreciated by others, and thereby the perfectionist has wasted a lot of time to accomplish the unnecessary.

Consider the risks of waiting for that last minute

What if you got sick, priorities changed, or an unexpected crises or event developed. Recall the nightmare experienced the last time you procrastinated until the last minute.

Think of the end in mind what will be the benefits after completing the task at head.. or maybe it’s a business you wanted to start. If you actually pulled your self together 10 years from now you could start ripping the benefits.

When we procrastinate, we get behind before we even start, and create a major time problem

Learn to trigger high energy moments on demand

We all have moments when we have high energy and low energy. At high energy times, we feel strong, and almost anything feels easy. At low energy times, things can feel overwhelming. Do tasks which you procrastinate on at high energy times. On low energy times, get on with tasks which are not as important, and trust that a high energy moment will come high energy times can be triggered by rewards systems, you need to find out what gives you high energy moments.

Have a positive mental attitude

Just do it!

Force your self to start. Do the thing that you most fear. For example confronting a situation or a business idea you have in mind that you never got around to doing. Napoliean Hill “Most of us go through life as failures, because we are waiting for the “time to be right” to start doing something worthwhile. Do not wait. The time will never be “just right” “

Reward yourself

Create a reward system for your self, when you have completed a task or a major milestone reward your self. For example you can take your self out for dinner or my favorite I treat my with a whole cake. Appreciate the feeling of getting something done. Focus of attention moves away from the difficulty of the task to the rewards derived from completing the task.

Trigger momentum

A clear, written description of your top goals, goal setting is very important with a clear cut written goal you know where your going and thus can prepare for it.

Carry out repetitions of affirmations

Words of affirmation are words of self encouragement a positive self talk statement, stated in the present tense that covers a goal you want to achieve and that ‘overrules’ negative beliefs towards that goal.

As we grow up during our life’s we are conditioned to think in a certain way this conditioning comes as we pick up beliefs, fears and limitations from our surroundings, peers, family and friends that gradually form the person we are today. Some of these beliefs are sadly negative which with time limit our potential of what we can do and achieve in life. For example a mother tells a child that “You are no good you will always be a failure” if this statement is repeated enough over time the belief is harnessed by the child and in time the child will be a failure. I have witnessed this occur my self as it happened to my cousin

Words of affirmation help one achieve tasks. As it builds up a strong desire to want to accomplish the tasks at hand.

When you wake up before work or school tell your self

“I can do anything well when I put my mind to it”

“I must finish all tasks assigned to me before the end of the day”

“I will find the answer for A by the end of the day”

“I am not a procrastinator I can do all that is required now”

Repeated suggestions of affirmations give your subconscious mind instructions of what to do with time it will come to pass.

Set a deadline

Put your self on record, promise others motivates your self that you will have it done. often promising others is more powerful than promising your self as you don’t want to disappoint or be seen as a person who never keeps his word. Take for example your doing a project and you promise your manager to deliver by this date and date. Your credibility will be put to the test when you make a promise. This can also apply to a relationship with our spouse.

Refuse to rationalize

Avoid making excuse for unacceptable behavior. Theirs no need to justify why you cant do what you have to do.

Accept responsibility of completion of task

Gather all necessary material so that when you get started you don’t need to get up or move around till your task is completed. Best way to complete a major job , break it down. Categorize and work on it

A written plan gives you a blue print on which to work with. Think on paper, thoroughly prepare,

Think of the future

Having clear idea of what is really important to you in the long-term makes it much easier for you to make better decisions about your priorities in the short-term.

PROCRASTINATION ROBS US OF OPPORTUNITIES TO BE SUCCESSFUL

You can grab a copy for free at audible.com

A couple of tips I have seen many people complain that since they are not based on US they are unable to get a copy of the book. When you click download you will be forced to create an audible account, leave address blank except put your country as USA.
Once you get to the checkout page a download button will be available I noticed that when I try to click download the file format is .pl.

In order to download the book DRM free you can use this a tool from Roy Osherove’s Blog follow the instructions and you should be dandy and good to go.

The Pros
Searching is prompt and displays fairly accurate results sometimes depends of the content your actually looking for and whether it’s a common topic.

The Cons
I have to admit not all results displayed have direct links to the PDF file, some links link to torrents tracking sites. So in some cases the PDF’s are not readily and freely available.
In some instances relevant and irrelevant results are mashed up. Search results aren’t as extensive as Google’s.

Finding a decent selection of BitTorrent downloads that are both free and legal can be a challenging proposition for many including myself. Sure it’s easy to point to BitTorrent tracker sites like Mininova or The Pirate Bay as places to find just about anything under the sun, but it’s usually copyrighted material and so downloaders face tests of both conscience as well as their ability to evade the prying eyes of copyright holders, law enforcement, ISPs, and perhaps even meddling parents. So thus arises the need for places where free AND legal BitTorrent downloads can be found. The following is a list of 7 worth mentioning and a description of what types of BitTorrent downloads each has to offer.

FreeDomain.co.nr provides free url redirection meaning you can pretty much redirect your free http://www.yourname.co.nr to for example http://mysite.blogspot.com.

If you’re looking for something free or looking to shorten your web urls then this service might be suitable for you.

You might be wondering where’s the catch no ads pretty good looking sub domain well there is one thing that freedomain.co.nr requires that’s a link back their main site.

In my opinion this service is much better than cjb.net and dot tk. Thou one of the biggest draw backs I found with this service is the imposed time restriction, if your sub domain is in active for more than 2months your account will be terminated and permanently deleted. I wouldn’t recommend using this service if you’re serious about having your own domain name.

Many have wondered how it was possible that TVLinks was busted recently, when all it did was merely list links to tv shows but, never actually hosted any material. Yes I too have wondered why read on here. Anyways the main point for this post was to bring you a list of some alternatives and even better video streaming sites like good old TV links.

The statement above is not so true anymore tvlinks is back up looks like two of them are up and running, tv-links.eu which looks very similar to the original tv-links website from the design and tv-links.cc. The question now is how long will it be up again before getting shut down.
