Clarity Kickstart: What’s Causing Your Procrastination?

Christi Hegstad October 22nd, 2012

“What looks like resistance is often a lack of clarity.”

~ Chip & Dan Heath       

 
Coaching Tip for the Week:

 

What’s the missing link in your actions?   

 

It’s so easy to become frustrated with ourselves when we don’t do what we intend to do. This tension, also known as cognitive dissonance, can really play a number on our self-confidence, too. In many cases, however, it’s not a character flaw; we’re simply not crystal clear about what we’re supposed to do, which causes us to procrastinate.
 

This week, take one of your to-do’s that has been lingering for a while. Fine-tune it so you know exactly what you need to do, down to the penny, ounce, time, or whatever measurement makes sense. Also briefly answer the question, “What’s my reason for doing this?” to connect the action to your larger purpose. Chances are your lingering to-do will have a check mark by it sooner rather than later!
