Procrastination

Good business coaching can save you time and money. As we all learned in school, procrastination is the thief of time. Our inclination to put things off until a later time, to avoid doing jobs that really ought to be done is a more common disease than the flu.

Yet, how fulfilling our existences really could be if we conquered this mental malady. How much less stressful our lives would be if we did not allow ourselves to be mentally burdened with unfinished tasks hanging over us.

There are various reasons for procrastinating from negative self talk, “ I can never seem to get this done right ,” to being unclear about the task or not seeing the relevance of the task, to finding the task boring – especially true with repetitive tasks, to poor time management.

Regsardless of the excuse or reason, procrastination is rooted in our mind, in the way we think, and with the right mind training we can learn to rise to the occasion “mentally,” and get it done. Boring and repetitive tasks are often the most difficult to find motivation for.

In the corporate world, procrastination is one of the biggest profit drains. With procrastinators, the coffee pot, the water fountain, the smoking – they all arrest inertia. And yet, just creating movement is quite often all that is needed to change the inertia. Motion encourages more motion.

It’s not just employees who suffer from procrastiantion. Business owners can be among the worst of them – especially when things aren’t going well. To fix procrastination in the workplace, the best place to begin is with the owner or manager of the business. You can’t expect your team to show a quality that you won’t or can’t demonstrate yourself.

If you find that you constantly find that you never seem to complete your tasks on a personal level, or if you own a business and you have employees who have difficulty reaching deadlines, it might be a worthwhile idea to secure the services of a business coach who is adept at teaching people to overcome procrastination. Business owners and employees both enjoy the workplace much more when they have learned to self start and overcome procrastination.
