I was in the middle of having an email discussion about procrastination with a friend and Coach Talk ezine reader of mine. In the middle of writing the email I noticed being inspired to write a blog post regarding this topic. So here I am happily writing. I was inspired. I caught and noticed the inspiration. I acted on my inspiration.
One simple way to avoid procrastination is to:
- Get inspired (remember and feel why you want to do something in the first place)
- Notice and catch that inspiration
- Use the energy of the inspiration to do something about it NOW.
Inspiration gives us the energy for action that requires minimal effort and maximum flow.
- In the moment when you are inspired to write — write
- In the moment when you are excited about your marketing plan — execute the plan
- In the moment when you feel gratitude towards your clients — call a perspective client
- In the moment you get the urge to exercise — go for a run
- In the moment you feel love for someone — call them and let them know
Seize the moment of inspiration as it creates the intersection of wanting and needing to do something.
Singularity of purpose, clarity of vision and lack of any doubt is what we expect of our leaders. They are either pro-environment or pro-business, pro-choice or pro-life, fiscal conservatives or social progressives. We like it that way. It makes us feel RIGHTEOUS. — Econtrario
