100. Only the Size of Your Heart Matters
- If you want to change the world…measure a person by the size of their heart.”
...Your will to succeed depends on how much heart you have. Nothing else matters, including your size, race, ethnicity, educational level, or social status.
101. Life’s Not Fair—Drive On!
- It is easy to blame your lot in life on some outside force, to stop trying because you believe fate is against you.
...Define yourself by how you overcome life’s unfairness. Do not complain or blame someone and move forward.

12. THE 10 MINUTE RULE
I use this one a lot and it’s a very effective tool in the fight against procrastination!
If you have a task on your to do list that you know you need to do but you just really don’t want to do it, tell yourself you only have to do 10 minutes of that task and then you can stop.
You should find that telling yourself you only have to do 10 minutes of a task massively reduces the amount of mental resistance towards that task… and what usually happens is once you get started you realise it wasn’t as awful as you thought it was going to be… and then you get into it and actually start to enjoy it!
But if you really don’t want to carry on after 10 minutes, that’s OK. You can stop… and you won’t feel like a failure because you did your 10 minutes (It’s important to actually allow yourself that option of stopping after 10 minutes, otherwise the technique won’t work!)

13. ‘JUST WRITE A DRAFT’
A slight variation on the ’10 minute rule’ technique is one I like to call ‘Just write a draft’… and this one is especially useful with emails. I think most of us struggle with procrastination over writing difficult emails (I’m thinking here of replying to difficult emails in your inbox, but it could equally apply to writing your email newsletter!)
So what I do is I tell myself ‘I’m just going to write a draft… but I won’t send it today’. Of course, what happens, 99 times out of 100, is that, once I’ve written the draft, I’m perfectly happy to send it then and there… But if I’m not, I have that option to just save it to draft and then the next day I can work on it a bit more until I am happy enough to send it… But that almost never happens because my mental resistance is to the IDEA of sending the email, not the reality!

14. WHY AM I DOING THIS?
Procrastination is a weird tension – you want to do it (otherwise why is it on your to do list?) but you don’t want to do it (hence the procrastination). One important question to ask yourself is ‘why is this on my to do list?’ Sometimes we procrastinate for good reason… because that task isn’t actually very important… If that’s the case… maybe it shouldn’t be on your to do list at all!

15. CREATE A VISION BOARD
But even a goal like ‘earn a good full-time income from my blog’ can be a bit intangible… to make it more tangible keep asking yourself WHY? And then turn those answers into a vision board!
Maybe you’d like to leave your current full-time job that you hate? Maybe you’d like to be able to buy a new car? Go on a luxury holiday? Move house? Or maybe your dream is to get a publishing deal or appear on TV…
Print out images of whatever you REALLY want, stick them on a board and position it near where you usually work. Now whenever you are tempted to procrastinate over a task that is a stepping stone towards that ultimate goal, glance up at your vision board and remind yourself what you are really working towards!

16. DON’T ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE DISTRACTED!
One of the big reasons why we procrastinate is because we convince ourselves something else is more important and we allow ourselves to get distracted by it.
And one of the biggest culprits is our phones! We live in a culture where (it seems) the phone is king and must take precedence over everything. But that’s really not true. Most people do not need to look at their phone every time it pings. Would anything really bad happen if you only checked your phone twice a day?
To stop your phone from being a way that you can procrastinate, turn off all but essential notifications, put it on silent and put it in another room while you are working. That way you can focus on the task in hand and not be tempted to ‘just quickly look at my phone’… AKA procrastinate!

17. USE NETFLIX/PHONE/SOCIAL MEDIA/EMAIL AS A REWARD NOT A PROCRASTINATION TOOL
Instead of allowing your phone / social media / email / Netflix etc. to be a procrastination tool… turn these things into rewards. For example, you could plan your day so that you do all the hard tasks (the kind you are likely to procrastinate over) in the morning. Then in the afternoon, and only once those tasks have been done, you do all your social media and emails and other easy tasks… And then, only once all your work is done, you are allowed to watch Netflix (or whatever your procrastination drug of choice is!)

18. DELEGATE / AUTOMATE
If there’s a task you really hate so much you are always procrastinating over it… consider delegating it or using a tool to automate it.
I’ll give you a couple of personal examples here… I used to hate scheduling social media… that whole thing of ‘filling up my queues’… it was a job I used to dread and procrastinate over until I was down to the last post in my queue.
It was such a tedious and monotonous job, I thought ‘surely there has to be a better way?’ so I researched automation options and came across CoSchedule*. This awesome tool will automatically reshare old evergreen social media posts on a schedule of your choosing. So now all I have to do is to create one of each type of social media message per blog post… and then CoSchedule will automatically add it to the back of the queue after each time it gets shared. No more ‘filling up my queues’ for me!

102. Failure Can Make You Stronger
- In life, you will have failures and face Circuses. You will have to deal with the consequences, but you can overcome the failures.
...Your failures can educate, motivate, and strengthen you to be able to handle the difficult decisions to come
103. You Must Dare Greatly
- Life will be difficult and if you take risks you may fail and deal with obstacles.
Without daring greatly and getting out of your comfort zone, you will never achieve your full potential.

19. DONE IS BETTER THAN PERFECT
Perfectionism is a big cause of procrastination… that feeling of wanting to get it right / not wanting to make a mistake or fail holds us back so often from actually getting on and doing it. Because we feel we won’t be able to do it perfectly or it might not work out, we don’t do it at all!
It’s sounds crazy but it happens all the time. Think about all the things that you procrastinate over… could it be perfectionism/fear of failure that’s stopping you from getting on with it?
If so, it’s time to change your mindset. Perfect is impossible. You’ll never attain ‘perfect’. Aim instead for ‘good enough’. ‘Good enough’ is infinitely more achievable and aiming for ‘good enough’ will help reduce your mental resistance to doing the task.

20. PEBBLES AND SAND
A big procrastination lie that we tell ourselves is ‘I just don’t have the time to do XYZ’. We feel we don’t have time to do the big important things because the everyday ‘essential’ tasks take up all of our time already.
This is rarely true!
Essentially what we are doing is using ‘not enough time’ as a procrastination tool. I mentioned Parkinson’s law earlier – the adage that ‘work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion’.
Well, in this case, the pebbles are the big important tasks (the ones you are most likely to procrastinate over!) and the sand is the ‘essential’ everyday activities… Prioritize the everyday tasks and you’ll never have enough time for really important things. Prioritize the big important tasks and the rest will somehow fit in… try it if you don’t believe me, it really works!

21. GET OVER YOURSELF AND JUST DO IT!
Any goal worth having is going to involve some degree of hard work, dull repetitive tasks and daunting challenges. Remember YOU are in charge of YOUR life and you can CHOOSE to knuckle down and get on with it or you can CHOOSE to blame ‘lack of motivation’ and ‘I just can’t seem to make myself do it’ until the cows come home.
If you look at successful people in any field, you’ll find one thing in common: they didn’t allow themselves to give in to procrastination. (Note, I didn’t say ‘they weren’t tempted to procrastinate’ – everyone’s tempted to procrastinate… but successful people CHOOSE not to give in to that temptation!)
At the end of the day, you need to decide if the goal you want is worth the cost, and if it is, you just need to knuckle down and get on with it!
