Stop Procrastination In Its Tracks!

by R Smith

Are you a procrastinator? Were you the kid that would study for a big test the night before and get homework done on the way to school?  Do you always put things off till the deadline is looming?  Pack your suitcase for a trip at the last minute?  It’s nothing to be proud of, but we all have our moments of procrastination. The bad thing is procrastination adds more stress to your life.  It makes you less productive.

Stop Procrastination

STOP Procrastination!

Here’s a simple little life hack to stop procrastinating and getting stuff done. You’ll be pleasantly surprised how much more productive this will make you.

Make a To-Do List

To-Do lists stop procrastination better than anything else I know. Get out a piece of paper and a pen, or download a free app on your phone and make out your list. Start by jotting down everything you need to get done today. (Make sure it is a reasonable list that can be completed in a day.) As you work your way through each item on your list, cross it off. It’s a great feeling, isn’t it?

This simple way of doing it will make a huge difference, but we can do even better. Here are some easy tips to help you make the most of your to-do list:

  • Write your list the night before. You’ll be ready to get going first thing in the morning.
  • Do something quick and easy first. Get it done and cross it off the list. This will set the tone for your entire day.
  • Do the most important thing.   Do the item that absolutely must be done today completed and you will be on a roll.
  • Avoid tasks that take hours to complete. Instead break them up into smaller chunks or baby steps that you can get done and cross off.
  • Work on more difficult tasks earlier in the day.   You still have the energy to get through them. Save the easy stuff for late afternoon when possible.

One More Rule

There’s one more “rule” and it’s the most important one. Do NOT stop until you’ve crossed every single item off of your to-do list. Get everything done you possibly can. Yes, it’s not always possible to do what you set out to do today because you’re waiting on a part to ship or a report from a colleague. It’s fine to move a task to another day when there’s a valid reason. You need to take bathroom and food breaks. Aside from that though, keep working until each item on your daily to-do list is crossed off.

Here’s your assignment for the next few days:

Before you go to bed at night, make a to-do list for the next day. Check items off the list as you get them accomplished. Add to your list as needed, but make sure you get everything on the list done before you go to bed at night.

It only takes a few days to get in the habit of just getting stuff done. Stick to your to-do list and watch your productivity soar!

1st Beachpreneurs Conference a Success

by R Smith

In September, I attended the Beachpreneur Conference in St. Petersburg, FL.

BeachpreneursMy friend,  Sandy Lawrence and I attended The Beachpreneur Conference, September 12-14, 2014. This event was hosted by Kelly McCausey and Nicole Dean.   Each of them run successful online businesses and teamed up to offer the Beachpreneur series.

Beachpreneurs

So what are Beachpreneurs?   The Beachpreneur Lifestyle is about having freedom of choice. It’s about not being a slave to someone else’s schedule or being caught up in the endless cycle of trading hours for dollars. Beachpreneurs work smarter, not harder – they’re some of the

Retreats

most productive people you’ll ever meet.  Beachpreneurs know when engaging in a season of serious hustle is the smartest thing to do and Beachpreneurs are female entrepreneurs craving extra support to breakthrough to the next level in business.

Kelly and Nicole offer small intimate women only Beachpreneur Retreats twice a year at Pensacola Beach, Florida.

Message in a bottle Earlier in the year, they introduced “Beachpreneur Message in a Bottle.”  This is a monthly ‘treasure map’ that inspires and feeds your desire to grow yourself as well as your business.  Each month you receive a Member Exclusive Downloadable Audio, A Full Transcript, and Printable Creative Application Sheets.  I subscribe to these and I love them.  Every month something new that actually helps me!

 

The Beachpreneur Conference

The Beachpreneur Conference was new.  Held at beautiful St. Petersburg, Florida.  We were right on the beach at the Tradewinds! This event was designed to provide a motivated environment for us to learn, mastermind, set goals and create plans.

TradewindsSandy  and I arrived  a day early to soak  up some sun, meet with friends, walk on the beach, listen to the ocean and relax.     I can’t imagine a better spot to attend a conference.  Can you?

FriendsBusiness at the beach

We learned about lots of things, like blogging, mind-mapping, promotion, and more.   We also had a great keynote from Rachel Martin about Being Enough.

I am enough

If you have a business and want to move it forward, consider joining us at the next Beachpreneurs Conference.  It will be held in February 2015

I will leave you with a picture of a beach sunset.
