101 Tips For Overcoming Procrastination and LazinessFlavian Mwasi
Procrastination happens to the best of us, whether you’re Donald Trump or the Queen of England. If you ask a thousand people how many among them are procrastinators, almost every hand would go up.
Procrastination is the habit of perpetually postponing activities that are more profitable and urgent in preference to less profitable and useless ones. This is also the habit of doing pleasurable or “less boring” activities in place of those that are less pleasurable and boring, while delaying impending productive tasks for a later time, “last minute’’, or even indefinitely.
Procrastination is the opposite of ideal productivity.
Procrastination is thriving in today's technological age. The vast majority of the population avoids doing what they intend to do but are never fully committed to achieving: their dreams, objectives, and even some of their commitments, by not paying attention, getting ready to get ready, surfing the Web, playing computer games, and watching the electronic income reducer (that is, television).
Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms have given us a whole new way to stay connected—and a whole new reason to procrastinate.
This eBook contains 101 power-packed nuggets to help you overcome procrastination, become productive, and eventually eliminate it once and for all, breaking the chains of this evil devil that has tormented our beloved race for thousands of years.

A disciplined workforce operates with clarity, focus, and a shared understanding of expectations, ultimately driving better results, optimising productivity, and facilitating seamless collaboration.
Although discipline is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it can help create a work environment that encourages personal growth and accountability rather than solely relying on punitive measures.
In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.

RMD24 | Debunking the non-endemic revenue myth Marvin Vacquier Droop | First ...BBPMedia1
Marvin neemt je in deze presentatie mee in de voordelen van non-endemic advertising op retail media netwerken. Hij brengt ook de uitdagingen in beeld die de markt op dit moment heeft op het gebied van retail media voor niet-leveranciers.
Retail media wordt gezien als het nieuwe advertising-medium en ook mediabureaus richten massaal retail media-afdelingen op. Merken die niet in de betreffende winkel liggen staan ook nog niet in de rij om op de retail media netwerken te adverteren. Marvin belicht de uitdagingen die er zijn om echt aansluiting te vinden op die markt van non-endemic advertising.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

them
Eat regular meals
Turn off the ringer on your
phone, and all other notifications
from email, text, social media

8. Calendars & Scheduling
People who are in business for themselves
(whether freelancer, entrepreneur, solopreneur,
small business owner) are famous for
never/rarely taking time off, and resisting
spending time doing things that are not
"business-related."
My message is that it is IMPERATIVE that we
figure out how to incorporate self care (which
includes time off) into our schedules. We can
do this when we get more purposeful about
what we're doing, and how we are doing it.

11. Social media
Automate and schedule social media posts months in advance using
Hootsuite or Buffer
Systematize your marketing communications by having a plan for when
and what you post. Use a simple word doc or excel spreadsheet or you
can also use a task management system like Asana, or get a little fancier
using one of these editorial calendars.
Keep it simple and pick just one or two social media platforms to play on.
More than that and you spread yourself too thin.

12. File management
Dropbox
Google Drive
Evernote
13
Keep your files organized and easily accessible using online storage.
With these tools, you’ll be able to access files from anywhere, and
share with clients
13. Organize and collaborate
Document your processes. Create checklists
each time you do a task; refer to them the next
time so you don’t miss a vital step.
Record your on-screen processes using screen-
recording software such as Jing or Recordit
Batch your tasks. Dedicate blocks of time to
similar tasks in order to decrease distraction and
increase productivity.
Collaborate with your team and/or clients using

Asana, Trello
Use Evernote to store files, checklists,
screenshots, and to manage your tasks.
Evernote has a Chrome extension for the web
called Webclipper that allows you to store
information from the internet such as web
pages, screenshots, emails. This tool has so
much functionality, it’s mindboggling.
With Wunderlist and ToDoist, you can share
your to-do lists
Google Alerts: get an email based on your
individual search query.

15. Email management
Active Inbox for Gmail has completely
changed my life. Turn your emails into
tasks and get to Inbox Zero.
Create canned responses to compose
replies to common messages, and
save them for future use.
Stem the tide of email overwhelm &
unsubscribe from multiple lists
simultaneously with Unroll.me.
Auto responders: not just for “Out of
Office” notifications, they are also
useful for letting people know that
you received their email and you will
reply in #days/hours/whatever. You
can also list your FAQs.
Boomerang for Gmail allows you to
schedule an email to be sent later,
and also will send you follow-up
reminders.
16
16. Password management
LastPass saves your passwords,
stores online shopping profiles,
generates long and strong
passwords for you, and will even
allow you to safely share login rights
with fellow LastPass users.
17
17. Client management
Create a welcome packet for new
clients. Include all the things they need
to know about working with you: a
welcome letter, policies and procedures,
agreement/contract, an intake
questionnaire, and information on your
referral program. Put all of these items
in a folder on in your Dropbox or
Google Drive called “Welcome Packet”
and share this folder with your clients.
Use a client management system to
keep track of client information.
Satori and vCita are scheduling
systems that also capture client
information at the time of scheduling,
so you’ll have handy client cards to
reference later. Insightly is also a good
option.
