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.
