Procrastination is what I have been doing while preparing to write this blog. It is really annoying when you are supposed to be working and you have so many things to do that you don\u2019t know where to start and you end up on Facebook, or Twitter or the BBC website.  Procrastination can become a serious problem and you may find yourself getting anxious and stressed when you haven\u2019t done half of what you set out to do. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Beating procrastination <\/strong>means that you can be more productive at work and when you\u2019re working for yourself this is particularly important, because as we all know, <strong>time is money<\/strong>. The good news is that you can learn to avoid procrastination so here are some handy tips for you to try if you are a seriously afflicted self employed procrastinator.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.\tMake a choice<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Quite often you feel resentful when you have a lot to do and so you avoid doing it. This feeling of resentment can be sub-conscious. What you need to do is bring the thoughts into your conscious and <strong>CHOOSE <\/strong>to do something. You must realise that you always have a <strong>choice<\/strong>. You can choose to do your tax return or you can choose not to. You can choose to tidy up last month\u2019s figures or you can choose not to. You can choose to make that awkward phone call or you can sit and worry about it. At the end of the day once you have made a conscious decision to do something, <strong>do it<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>Listen to the words of the Jedi <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BQ4yd2W50No\" title=\"here\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Always with you it cannot be done. Do you hear nothing that I say? You must unlearn what you have learned. Do or do not. There is no try.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>2.\tMake your choice meaningful<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You will have business goals and you should think about how your choices (to do paperwork, make phonecalls, pay bills etc.) fit into those important goals. Do you want your business to succeed? If yes, then do it!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_962\" style=\"width: 309px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wholesaleclearance.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Prod-Owl.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-962\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wholesaleclearance.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Prod-Owl.png\" alt=\"A feathery bossy boots. Cute!\" width=\"299\" height=\"168\" class=\"size-full wp-image-962\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-962\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A feathery bossy boots. Cute!<\/p><\/div><strong>3.\tTurn it off!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Turn off your phone. Shut down the tabs. Ask your partner\/ sibling\/ parent\/ spouse to change your Facebook password. Get rid of all potential distractions. If you have no-one to nag you about your web surfing you could try using a software tool called The Productivity Owl <a href=\"http:\/\/www.productivityowl.com\/\" title=\"here\" target=\"_blank\">here <\/a>http:\/\/www.productivityowl.com\/ This handy little app gives you a certain number of seconds or minutes to visit a website. It will then shut the tab down without so much as a by your leave. Gotta love how bossy it is! And so ridiculously cute. Go on, you know you want to try it!<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.\tBreak your tasks up into steps<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It may be that you don\u2019t know where to start. Perhaps you are overwhelmed by what you have to do. If you\u2019ve created a long \u2018to do\u2019 list and you can\u2019t get started this may be the problem you are having. The solution is simple. Don\u2019t think about anything except the first thing that you need to do. That might be to find the letter from HMRC or it might be to locate a phone number. Once you know exactly what the first task will be, do it.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_961\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wholesaleclearance.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/MLK-Step.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-961\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wholesaleclearance.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/MLK-Step-150x150.png\" alt=\"Just a step to the left ... and then a step to the right ...\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-961\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wholesaleclearance.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/MLK-Step-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.wholesaleclearance.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/MLK-Step.png 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-961\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Just a step to the left &#8230; and then a step to the right &#8230;<\/p><\/div><strong>5.\tTake the next step<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After you\u2019ve taken the first step, think about nothing except what you need to do next. Access the HMRC website or pick up the phone. Then onto the next step: log in or dial. And on you go. Think about nothing except the step that you need to take NOW.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6.\tDon\u2019t fear<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Being paralysed by fear of something that may or may not happen is counterproductive. You may be worried about getting something wrong or failing, or you may be worried that you\u2019ll make a fool of yourself. This is entirely possible but no wonder you can\u2019t get on with anything. It\u2019s equally as likely that everything will be plain sailing and you\u2019ll be brilliant. Try envisaging that and get on with what you need to do.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_963\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wholesaleclearance.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/to-do.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-963\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wholesaleclearance.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/to-do-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Well maybe ...\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-963\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-963\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Well maybe &#8230;<\/p><\/div><strong>7.\tBribe yourself<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you can get the form filled in\/ the phone call made\/ the desk cleared\/ the paperwork filed etc. etc. promise yourself a nice cup of tea and a biscuit. Do not reward yourself if you don\u2019t complete the task. Hell no. With that in mind it\u2019s best if you don\u2019t promise yourself a trip to the loo after you\u2019ve made the phone call.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Create a timetable<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re particularly anal about such things you could create a timetable or schedule that helps you plan when, where and how you\u2019ll do something and how long you will do it for. Be aware however, that creating timetables and schedules can in itself be a form of procrastination, particulatly if you like doing such things. I speak from experience here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9.\tThe Pomodoro Technique<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pomodoro (you can Google it) is a timer. You basically decide on a task to be completed and then set your timer for, say, 25 minutes. You work like stink for 25 minutes and then when the timer goes off, you allow yourself a 5 minute break. After 4 of these sessions you can allow yourself a longer break.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10. Don\u2019t worry about procrastinating<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ok, absurd I know, but procrastinating is not the end of the world. In many creative people procrastination allows time for reflection and play, and both of these are extremely important within the creative process. <\/p>\n<p><strong>11.\tLack of motivation is itself a message<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not feeling motivated this can be a sign that you are not happy with what you are doing. Perhaps running your own business is not for you? Do you need someone telling you what to do? Or do you love running a business but you want to be selling astronaut suits rather than wellington boots? Don\u2019t keep your feet on the ground if your head is in the clouds. Do what appeals to you. <\/p>\n<p><strong>12. Do it now!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Seriously. What are you reading this for?<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What are your favourite procrastination techniques?
