BROUGHT TO YOU BY
The women of Connect: Professional Women’s Network share
tips for what to do when you’d rather put something off.
From Procrastination to Proactive
CONNECT: PROFESSIONAL WOMEN’S NETWORK
Get an accountability partner and meet for 5 minutes (at most) 5 days
a week. You each commit to doing 5 things each day to progress
toward your goals. Courtney Kirschbaum, CEO of CK Consulting
CONNECT: PROFESSIONAL WOMEN’S NETWORK 3
My biggest source of procrastination is the internet, so I have
installed a browser plugin to block time-wastey websites. Colleen
Josephson, Engineering Intern
CONNECT: PROFESSIONAL WOMEN’S NETWORK 4
Do the tasks you don't want to do FIRST and at the first part of your day.
Not only does your body physically have more energy and your mind more
will-power, it is a booster when you complete that task to keep trucking
along. Celeste Yarbrough, Unified Communications Sales Manager
CONNECT: PROFESSIONAL WOMEN’S NETWORK 5
If you overwhelm yourself with the enormity of a project, it is human nature to shut
down. Make a list for projects and items to be accomplished. Check them off
upon completion, feel a sense of accomplishment and motivate yourself to
complete the next phase. Karen Hockstad, Partner, Corporate Department
CONNECT: PROFESSIONAL WOMEN’S NETWORK 6
Most people who procrastinate put it off because they know they can get it
done. One simple solution: take on more and live up to your capabilities.
Push yourself and you won't have time for procrastination to be a habit any
more! Kristine Buchanan, Academic Support Specialist
CONNECT: PROFESSIONAL WOMEN’S NETWORK 7
“Never focus on making it "perfect" because that is an illusion created in
your mind. Perfect does not exist. Instead focus on making it "better".
Improvement can happen in an hour, and anyone can do it. Laura
Downing, Housecleaning Professional
CONNECT: PROFESSIONAL WOMEN’S NETWORK 8
Put your hand on your diaphragm, take a deep breath and ask yourself, ”What
am I afraid of?" If the answer doesn't come, try it again when you’re aware of
your procrastination gremlin voice again. The answer will come eventually!
