There is a famous Spanish saying which loosely translated goes, “Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week.” How true! How often in business and in life do we find ourselves procrastinating, putting off tasks until tomorrow? Before we know it, tomorrow’s list of things to do is so long we have no chance of actually getting everything done, and it becomes simply too daunting - so we put it off again. Procrastination squeezes the life out of productivity and is also a morale crusher. It has no place in the life of an entrepreneur. So the question is, how do we banish procrastination from our lives? Well, the trick is to break down all those big goals and tasks into smaller, more achievable micro-goals and mini-tasks, that can be accomplished one step at a time. This stops that feeling of being overwhelmed by the enormity of what needs to be done and accomplished. When you start ticking off those goals from your wish list, and complete your long list of tasks one small step at a time, the bigger goals seem to be more attainable.
