This document provides strategies for overcoming procrastination. It discusses how procrastination develops from a natural tendency to consider consequences that stems from experiences of embarrassment or failure when taking risks. This causes people to hesitate out of fear of failure, comparing themselves to others, second thoughts, and making excuses. However, procrastination can be overcome by developing new habits. The document outlines six allies to momentum: having clear goals and plans, starting with the first small step, doing a little more, developing an attitude of immediacy to act now without delay, focusing on progress over perfection, and maintaining optimism and perspective on setbacks.
The document discusses a formula called "You^2" for achieving a "quantum leap" in performance and breakthroughs. It states that through this formula, one can jump to higher levels of achievement with less effort than in the past. It involves taking risks, pursuing your dreams passionately, letting go of old habits and routines, taking action immediately rather than waiting until you feel ready, and trusting that you have the necessary resources and talents to succeed. The goal is to make an unconventional leap in performance through unconventional approaches.

1) Habits and thought patterns developed over time can block creativity by making us rigid in our thinking and less open to new ideas. Our tendency is to rely on what is known and familiar rather than exploring unfamiliar or unknown options.
2) As we gain experience, we develop mental categories to organize information, but these categories can also prevent insight if we only try to fit new problems into existing frameworks rather than considering wholly new approaches.
3) Many common obstacles to creativity arise from social and psychological factors that discourage behaviors like asking questions, taking risks, being different from others, or maintaining an openness to uncertainty. Overcoming these blocks requires recognizing how our default ways of thinking can interfere with creativity.

2) Attempts to increase oversight and regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the early 2000s were blocked by Democrats who had received large political donations from them.
3) The risky practices of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac ultimately led to their bankruptcy and taxpayer bailouts totaling billions of dollars during the 2008 financial crisis.
This document summarizes George Gilder's view that capitalism is based on generosity and gift-giving rather than self-interest. It discusses how early forms of trade and exchange involved tribes and families making offerings to each other with an expectation of a return gift. Successful traders and leaders would hold large feasts to demonstrate their wealth and status, imposing implicit debts on guests to reciprocate generosity in the future. Contrary to Adam Smith's view that business is driven by self-interest and greed, Gilder believes capitalism relies on and propagates generosity between participants in market exchange.

In 2008, the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act (HOEPA) and the Housing and Economic Recovery Act (HERA) were passed by Congress, and the Federal Reserve Board published the regulations under the Truth in Lending Act. These regulations were written to provide a more transparent, level and fair regulation of the real estate industry; to add additional steps to help prevent deceptive lending practices; and to protect consumers by making them more informed -and therefore more confident - in their home financing choices. In addition, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac adopted the Home valuation Code of Conduct (HVCC) in 2008 to reinforce appraiser independence, valuation protections, and enhance the overall integrity of the valuation process by promoting the accuracy of appraisals by shielding appraisers from undue influence.

image of a woman who is stuck. You see, in each of these conversations, the main focus was around feeling confused, overwhelmed, and stuck about what to do to build their business. This seemed to break down into two problems- the first, not knowing how to choose what to do (the paralysis that comes from too many options- what you can call the paradox of choice)- the second, not knowing in what order to do whatever they eventually chose.
A presentation on ways to make oneself mentally agile. There are certain parameters here, laden with examples, following which, anyone should be able to improve themselves, for good.
This document discusses the difference between having a "cause mindset" and an "effect mindset". Having a cause mindset means taking control and responsibility for your life circumstances, while an effect mindset means reacting passively to external factors. It provides steps to shift from an effect to a cause mindset, such as recognizing negative self-talk, choosing to interpret challenges differently, responding to the negative voice with a growth perspective, and taking action aligned with a cause mindset. The overall message is that people have a choice in how they approach life and can train themselves to be more proactive and in control of their outcomes.
This document discusses limiting beliefs and excuses that hold people back from success. It identifies six common excuses - not knowing how, being afraid, lacking time or money, thinking it's too late, and something being too hard. For each excuse, it provides reasons why the excuse is invalid, such as there always being a way to learn or work around limitations. The document encourages readers to identify their own excuses, examine how they've limited progress, and take one action to overcome an excuse by moving toward a goal.
This document discusses how our thinking impacts our actions and results in life. It explains that our brain has three parts - the rational brain, emotional brain, and primitive brain. While the emotional and primitive brains can be driven reactions, the rational brain allows problem solving through asking questions. The document provides seven questions to engage the rational brain and overcome faulty thinking patterns, such as focusing on failures. These questions help see issues in perspective, choose appropriate responses, identify resources, and learn from experiences.
This document provides advice and guidance for business owners on various topics such as inspiration, growth, surrounding yourself with great people, facing fears, removing distractions, and learning. The overall message is that business owners should continuously work on self-improvement, take action to achieve their goals, and focus on developing the skills and mindsets needed for success.

EXTERNALIZING THE PROBLEM | 79
Where We Have Been
In Chapter 4, you learned to identify, acknowledge, and accept how your feelings and emotions can affect your
personal narratives. More importantly, you learned that you are someone who experiences feelings and emotions, but
you are separate from them—they do not define you. You were also introduced to insights and strategies that allow
feelings to move through you, rather than overtake you, so that you can minimize the chance of feelings and emotions
becoming problematic and taking your personal narrative hostage. Finally, you learned breathing exercises and were
introduced to guided mindfulness and meditation as a route to quiet your thoughts and connect you to the calming
influence of the present moment.
Where We Are Going
In this chapter, we will introduce you to the concept of neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to be “plastic” or
“changeable” in nature by actually growing new neural pathways when tasked with creating new thinking patterns, at
any age (Figure 1). Understanding and embracing neuroplasticity is important as you begin to update your thinking
patterns and form more helpful ways of responding to difficult feelings, emotions, and stressors.

» To begin to understand the concept of neuroplasticity and recognize that with it
comes an invitation to shift your relationship to your mindset problems
» To begin to maximize your brain’s neuroplasticity as you form new thinking
patterns
» To begin to learn about the important role of cognitive reframing as you foster
new ways of responding to feelings, thoughts, and beliefs
» To begin to understand the concept and practice of externalizing your problems
» To begin to identify your main problem and learn the scope of its current
influence in your life
» To begin to develop a new relationship to your problem(s)

age.
You will also discover that you cannot always trust your thoughts as they are often stuck in the cycle of delivering
faulty information based on self-limiting and even self-sabotaging beliefs (see the discussion on self-talk in Chapter 2).
Because this is so common for many, you will be taught how to “prime yourself” to maximize your brain’s potential for
neuroplasticity when self-limiting beliefs do in fact surface; you’ll do this by following a process that starts with simply
pausing and noticing.
Next, you will be introduced to cognitive reframing, a concept that allows you to view the same information or
experience, but through a different and more productive frame.
Lastly, you will be introduced to the narrative concept of externalizing problems. This concept holds the potential to
liberate you from problems that previously you may ha.

You will also discover that you cannot always trust your thoughts as they are often stuck in the cycle of delivering
faulty information based on self-limiting and even self-sabotaging beliefs (see the discussion on self-talk in Chapter 2).
Because this is so common for many, you will be taught how to “prime yourself” to maximize your brain’s potential for
neuroplasticity when self-limiting beliefs do in fact surface; you’ll do this by following a process that starts with simply
pausing and noticing.
Next, you will be introduced to cognitive reframing, a concept that allows you to view the same information or
experience, but through a different and more productive frame.
Lastly, you will be introduced to the narrative concept of externalizing problems. This concept holds the potential to
liberate you from problems that previously you may ha.

The document summarizes the results of a strengths assessment taken by Ahmed Emam. It identifies his top five signature themes: Strategic, Relator, Learner, Self-Assurance, and Activator. It provides a short description of each theme, explaining how each theme shapes Ahmed's natural talents and tendencies. The themes highlight Ahmed's ability to see patterns and strategize, preference for close relationships, enjoyment of learning processes, confidence in his own judgment and abilities, and impatience to take action.
There are, to be sure, a plethora of legitimate and valid responses to this question. But the most important thing to remember is that we all have a habit of putting ourselves at the centre of everything and experiencing every incident, discussion, scenario, etc.
https://www.youthkiawaaz.com/2022/04/how-to-not-take-things-personally
The document discusses how people often rationalize maintaining an unsatisfying status quo due to loss aversion and fear of potential losses rather than pursuing potential gains. It explains that this mindset can lead to problems like decreased productivity, lower self-esteem, and others taking advantage. The document encourages readers to reflect on how loss aversion affects their decisions and suggests taking risks to gain more control over their situation and identity.
This document discusses self-esteem and low self-esteem. It explains that low self-esteem can develop from negative life experiences when young or stressful events as adults, and can be maintained by self-critical thoughts triggered by perceived criticism. Low self-esteem affects emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, keeping self-esteem low through a cycle. The document provides strategies for changing thoughts and behaviors to develop higher self-esteem, such as setting goals, accepting compliments, and challenging negative self-talk.
The document discusses different definitions and perspectives on motivation. It acknowledges that motivation is a complex topic with no single agreed-upon definition. It argues that motivation is represented by different things for different people, and can come from a variety of internal and external factors like emotions, reasons, or commitments. The key lessons are that (1) sustained success requires continuing efforts even when motivation fluctuates, (2) motivation is better viewed as a commitment than an emotion, and (3) long-term goals are best achieved through logical planning rather than reactive decisions driven by emotions alone.
This document summarizes 13 mindsets that can contribute to procrastination and lack of motivation, as described by Dr. David Burns. These mindsets include hopelessness, helplessness, feeling overwhelmed, jumping to conclusions, self-labeling, undervaluing rewards, perfectionism, and fears of failure, success, disapproval, coercion, frustration, guilt, and self-blame. The document provides brief descriptions of each mindset and how it can negatively impact motivation. It concludes by noting that avoidance causes anxiety while exposure can cure anxiety.
Under mentioned five simple exercises can help you recognize, and start to shift, the mind-sets that limit your potential as a leader.
1. Find your strengths
2. Practice the pause
3. Forge trust
4. Choose your questions wisely
5. Make time to recover
Residential Price Trends Feeding into Cherry Creek High School 2010Tom Cryer
The document provides sales data for properties in the Cherry Creek High School neighborhood of Denver from 2007 to 2010, including average home prices, number of properties sold, and annual price and property changes. Specific property addresses, sale dates, and prices are listed from July 13, 2007 to August 28, 2007. The data shows average home prices peaked in 2007 then declined slightly in 2008 and 2009 before falling further in 2010.
1. Foreclosures have declined for almost three years after peaking in 2008. However, short sales continue to be common as lenders work with borrowers. The short sale cycle may continue for 2-5 more years before a normal market trend returns.
2. The ratio of home listings to sales indicates the market may drift into oversupply in the second half of 2010 if current trends continue, potentially leading to more foreclosures and short sales.
3. While average home prices have increased in the first half of 2010, particularly for higher-end homes, prices have actually declined in many individual areas. Average prices should only be used as a general guide, not to assess specific markets or properties.

During the war years President Franklin Delano Roosevelt once said that a nation of homeowners is unconquerable. Margaret Thatcher, with a mantra that homeowners become responsible citizens, privatized and moved 1.7 million families from public housing into private ownership. President Bill Clinton has stated his belief that homeownership and decent housing are an essential part of the American Dream and wanted to make the dream of homeownership a reality for all Americans. President George W. Bush has said ownership has the power to transform people. Thus, the promotion of homeownership has been an integral part of President Bush’s vision of an “ownership society.” Even in the earliest days of civilization, before the collection and touting of statistical data, Aristotle had argued that ownership promotes virtue and responsibility.

1. How to Defeat Procrastination
By Coach Steve Dailey
There is a mechanism that resides in all of us that causes
hesitation, waiting, contemplation, delay... what most of us
know as the disease called procrastination.
Many purveyors of success wisdom would have us
believe that this mechanism is just “laziness”. And in
some cases, that may be true. But in my experience as a
coach, most people are not lazy at all. All people have, in
fact, extraordinary desires and passions and the best
intentions to succeed; regardless of their current lot in life.
We come by the procrastination response honestly, you see. From the very beginning of our lives, we are
presented every day with new circumstances and events. With each new experience, we learn something about
ourselves and our environment... like “don't run too fast or you'll fall down, or "don't make mom mad or you’ll be
sorry". Here’s another one: Remember when you were in school and you tried something on a whim and
ended up looking stupid. I had a lot of those happen to me but one that stands out happened on the junior
school high dance floor. I won’t go into detail – it’s too embarrassing and it’ll take too long to explain what I was
trying to do – but I’ll just tell you that the reaction of my buddies as they rolled around on the floor on the
sidelines laughing and pointing at me caused me to draw a profound conclusion: when I try dancing, I
embarrass myself. So you see continuously and early in life, caution starts to enter into our sequence of
thinking. When we encounter new situations or opportunities, we begin to think ahead to something called
"consequences". So now, instead of simply reacting to immediate desire or an emotional urging... we think
about what will happen as a result of our actions. Over time, this causes us to become susceptible to four,
deeply-grooved “allies of procrastination”:
1) Fear of failure
2) Comparison of ourselves to others
3) What I call “the second thought”, and
4) the most debilitating ally of procrastination: rational lies.

2. Procrastination is purely motivated by the consideration of consequences. We develop mental chatter that taps
into one or several of these procrastination allies.
When I ask myself, “Am I going to fail or cause someone else to fail?” I’m tapping into fear of failure. “I’m
probably not going to do as well as that guy?” is clearly the comparison game.
Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “Now I wonder what would happen if I
did it this way instead”? That’s the second thought kicking in. And then
rationalization or “Rational Lies” Takes over with “Oh, they probably won’t like it
anyway.” There have been enough times in life where the consequences for
proceeding according to immediate desire were not pleasant. We became
hesitant and uncertain because we might not like the consequences of any
new situation… so procrastination in the form of fear-motivated, comparison-
concerned, second-thought-thinking rationalization-based hesitation begins to
sneak in. Over time, procrastination becomes an automatic part of how we
think.
We shouldn’t overlook that this mechanism can actually serve to protect us from harm in some cases… but it
can also hold us back from doing new things that could bring us great reward and become an obstacle to our
dreams. It is not a wimpy thing, reserved only for those misguided or lost souls that haven't given the first
thought to their future. But it is a mechanism that we must learn to control or else we will be frozen against all
risk – therefore making all reward unattainable.
So what to do? We are going to learn how to shift this mechanism in our favor. We are going to build inside of
us habits that will counter fear and procrastination so that those no longer create obstacles. And, in fact, by the
time you are done reading this segment, there is a great potential that you will literally be "cured" of ever having
the fear/procrastination cycle rule you again. Ready?
Let's begin by reviewing five basic success fundamentals. Now if you have read or studied much at all about
success and achievement, this might seem a bit elementary – but it doesn’t hurt to review sometimes.
The first fundamental is this: it’s not about what we do; it’s about what we think. All action is predated by
thinking. All of your actions are preceded by a precious moment – the moment of choice. And in that moment
of choice, you can choose to move or choose to wait.

3. Second - you are in 100% control of your actions because you are in 100% control of your thinking. Nothing –
nor no one – causes you to do anything. If you decide to procrastinate – that is your decision. No one else is
involved here. It’s all about what’s in your head.
Third: Movement is an action and non-movement is an action. If you decide – in the moment of choice – to
wait, that choice is an action.
The next fundamental is that the decisions we make – the thinking we do in the moment of choice – become
habits when we groove the routine of how we think – and therefore how we act. If you choose to hesitate before
acting and you do that often – that will be a habit in the way you process things. Plain and simple.
And finally the fifth fundamental is this: habits can not be
changed. What changes when we form new, more productive
habits is our response to a particular stimulus. Or said
another way: habits are changed by deciding – ahead of time –
how we are going to choose to respond when certain things
come cross our path.
So tying it all together we can say that our thinking about circumstances predates decisions in the moment of
choice and the decision can be to wait – take an action called “no action” – and doing that over and over again
creates a habit called procrastination. Then to form a new habit, we need to consciously decide what new
behavior we are going to choose when things occur in life that historically has caused us to procrastinate.
So what responses to new things do we need to make? Here you go: I have talked about four allies to
procrastination, five success fundamentals so here are six allies to Momentum.
Number one is to possess a proper goal achievement strategy. In my segment on the Keys to Goal
Achievement, you’ll get all of this spelled out in a very powerful form. But for now, a proper goal achievement
strategy simply contains these components:
- A clear, vivid Vision for your future success
- Specific, well defined goals that will track to the attainment of that vision
- A detailed Action Plan for each goal
- And clear, compelling rewards for the achievement of each goal
Have these things in place as a backdrop for all your decisions in the moment of choice and you will be well on
your way to conquering fear and establishing momentum.

4. The second ally to momentum is developing a thinking habit I like to call “the
First Thing”. Whenever you are faced with a new thing where uncertainty
might start to creep in, simply ask yourself, “What is the first thing that I might
do to move forward on this?” Lots of times we get hung up on the perception
of how overwhelming a new opportunity or obstacle might be, but if we break
it down to the first, most simple and logical step… it becomes simple. It’s the
old “eat an elephant one bite at a time” thing.
The third ally is developing a new thinking habit called “a little more”. So far, you’ve got clear goals, action plans
and rewards set in the context of a vivid vision for your future. And you have started with the First Thing.
Now just do a little more. You’ll be amazed at how powerful you will be with this one-two punch of the first
thing plus a little more… then the first, next thing and a little more.
The next ally to Momentum that defeats procrastination is an attitude of immediacy. The way I like to frame this
is with the acronym DOWIT Now - Do Whatever It Takes Now... D>O>W>I>T NOW.
Making DOWIT NOW a reflex… developing a thinking habit of immediacy in the moment of choice… replaces
your response of delaying the inevitable and will begin to overwhelm the allies of procrastination. Now this is
more than just responding quickly. DOWIT NOW has elements of creativity, imperturbability, grit and resolve.
It’s an attitude more than an action. You are saying to yourself and anyone watching, “Excuses are not part of
my vocabulary. I am going to go for, reach for, press into and keep leaning on whatever is necessary and to
whatever degree is necessary to overwhelm inertia and make action prevail. Not only will procrastination be
defeated but momentum will win because I WILL it to win!”
The fifth key ally to Momentum that replaces the thinking habits that fuel procrastination is Tenacity. Now I
have an entire segment on Tenacity that you may want to listen to a couple of times. But here’s the bottom
line: you develop the thinking habit of tenacity when you decide once that your goals are worthwhile. Tenacity
is a resolve and acknowledgement that the end of the game will be your point of focus and though there will be
obstacles, there will be unpredictable circumstances, there will be curves in the road… no matter what comes
between you and your ultimate goals, you will get past, through and around those things that life will
predictably throw in your path. Tenacity is about a focus on completion, not a focus on circumstances.
Remember, it is fear and concern for consequences that causes procrastination. Tenacity annihilates those
fears with a persistent focus on the vision.

877-668-0607
5. And the sixth and final ally to Momentum is Courage. And this
is the most powerful key of all. It actually ties all the key allies
together. A proper goal achievement strategy and a “do the
first thing first” approach to light the fuse, followed by “a little
more” … then DOWIT Now immediacy and a “follow through
until it’s done Tenacity” all set you up for huge success. But
you must wrap all of this with another thinking habit called
courage. Courage is rooted in an internal belief in “the right thing”. Courage connects to the core notion in all
of us that the richness of life must prevail and that purity of purpose is superior to the tangential zigzag of
indecision and uncertainty. Courage overwhelms circumstances past and present and allows us even the
inkling of a personal vision. Courage allows us to see not only what to do, but what to do first and then what to
do next as a little more. Courage is the core of immediacy and “DOWIT now” and, of course, courage is the
backbone of tenacity.
So do you have it? Realize that the procrastination mechanism is built inside of all of us and what is responsible
is simply “learned response” to the newness or uncertainty of circumstances. Procrastination is fueled by the
subtle lieutenants of fear of failure, comparison, the second thought and rational lies. We begin to unhook
procrastination from our core make up by remembering that we are in control of our thoughts and therefore our
actions, inaction is every bit of an action as action itself and that habits are formed and changed by how we
respond to circumstances over time. With those principles firmly in place, we can now leverage the allies of
momentum: a goal achievement strategy, starting with the first thing, then doing a little more, developing
a habit of DOWIT Now immediacy, deploying the critical thinking response of tenacity and pumping a
commitment to courage through everything you do!
Now one question… what do you have to do… right now?
