Anti-Procrastination Challenge

Mondays are productivity days at SimpleProductivity blog.


I am a procrastinator. I don’t know if the cause lies in perfectionism, being overwhelmed, or just being unmotivated. The end result is the same: I put things off.

However, I have found the great boost of energy that comes from doing something I’ve been putting off.

A Challenge For You

Today, I’d like to challenge you to find this boost of energy too.

Take one thing that you have been putting off, and do it. I don’t care how large or small it is. Just do it.

The Reward

Here’s something to get you motivated: leave a comment on this post about what you did and I will randomly select one person to receive a copy of “The Spark: Fit, Firm and Fired Up” DVD (US format). (This is the companion video to The Spark) Make sure to leave a valid email address. Comments can be entered until midnight, EST on 4 Mar 2010.


If you enjoyed this post, please buy me a cup of coffee!

    This is so true. I’m a perfectionist too and I’m trying to work on just getting things done. Today I decided I would make time more important than money so I bought my dog flea medicine without wasting time looking for a coupon, cleaned out my email inbox, and booked a dentist appointment all in 3o minutes when I first got up. I gave myself a time limit instead of money limit and while risky I think I’m better off for it. Thanks for the tip!

    I finally called and made an appointment to see the eye doctor. I’ve been putting it off because I just moved to a new area, but I’m so relieved I did it!
