I have a really short story for you today.

It’s completely true, but you probably won’t believe it…

I actually own a book called “How to Stop Procrastinating.” I have no idea who the author is, and in fact I couldn’t tell you much about it at all.

I have tried to read that thing 4 times in the past 6 years, but I keep putting it down and leaving it for later.

I am the queen of procrastinating things I don’t want to do and I’m sure you might be too.

I mean, if I WANT to do something I become an absolute animal to finish it, working on a project for 10-15 hours without breaks.

I’m not saying that to brag.

In fact, I don’t even know if that is worth bragging about, but what I DO know is that we get done what we want to get done and the rest is like water up your sleeve.

Here is a quick little tip that you can use to get yourself to stop procrastinating:

1. You will NEVER be caught up and you will NEVER run out of things to do.

2. We are all drowning in options every day so you need to pick the options that will make the biggest difference in your life for that particular day.

3. Each morning, before you do anything else list 3 things that you MUST get done that day on a note pad, only 3 things allowed.

The number one thing needs to be the WORST, biggest, hardest thing of the day and the other two will follow in order of ‘difficulty’.

4. If you only get one or two of the things done that day, put the last item on the next day’s to do list.

5. If the item is still on your list after 3 days give up on it. You will probably NEVER do it, so drop it.

That’s it.

No huge course required.

What do I pick?

I pick the things that build my self improvement and my business first. You should do the same for uni.

I write to you and I make sure my article writing for the week gets out of the way, because I can’t work well at night. Get your assignments and work done.

Therefore, I save all of my hands-on tasks for the evening. Hang out and clean the house etc later.

As the day progresses, I take inventory of what I need to do for my business the next day and make sure it’s on the list for the next morning. Same for you mate.

Make sure you write down your list. You are your business when you are applying for jobs.

There is a lot of feel-good value in getting things accomplished and crossed-off, especially if you get all 3 things done.

Then the rest of the day is yours. If you’ve worked hard, you may be lucky enough to be employed at the end of the day…

If not, I can tell you how, so sign up for a dream internship or a workshop today!

Until next week,
