Day 1—Get unstuck/Declutter your mind

1. Get your major tasks done.

What’s the biggest task you need to work on?

2. Declutter your mind.

Besides your biggest task, list down all other tasks you know you need to
get done:

Day 2—Identify why you procrastinate

For each statement below, rate yourself on a scale from 1 to 10 (one
being false, ten being true). Be honest! You’re doing this for you.

I lack clarity regarding what I need to do or how to do it.

1 10

I wait for motivation to come.

1 10

I’m distracted and unable to complete hard tasks.

1 10

I’m afraid of not doing a good enough job.

1 10

I have no clear deadline or sense of urgency.

1 10
I have no daily routine to help me start my work.

1 10

My environment encourages unproductive or toxic behaviors.

1 10

I have too many things to do, and I feel stuck.

1 10

Now try to re ect on all the reasons you procrastinate.

1. Write down three tasks you procrastinated on in the past month/year.

fl
2. Now, write down all the reasons you believe you procrastinated on them.
Go deeper and be honest with yourself. Is it the fear of not doing a good
enough job? Is it because you weren’t motivated? Is it because you didn’t
know exactly how to approach the task?

3. Then, brainstorm. Think of everything you could to stop procrastinating or

at least reduce your tendency to procrastinate.!
Day 3—Deepen your understanding of procrastination

1 10

I understand that procrastination comes from awed thinking

 3. Now, write down what the long-term consequences will be if you keep
procrastinating. Think of the worst-case scenarios. What dreams will remain
unful lled? What goals will you fail to achieve? What will happen to your
health?

Visualize in detail the real cost of procrastination in your life. Make it painful.

WORST CASE SCENARIOS

Day 4—Gain clarity
Now, using your new understanding of how procrastination
works, select one of the three examples you mentioned on day
1 and answer the following questions:

1. Do I know exactly why I need to complete that task or project? Why does
it matter? And how could I make it more important and urgent?

2. Do I know exactly what the end result must look like? If not, what speci c
steps will I take to gure that out?

fi

3. Do I know the best way to approach that task? If not, what concrete steps
could I take to gure that out?

Day 5—Develop laser-sharp focus

1. What could you do speci cally to reduce the level of stimulation you’re
exposed to during your day? Come up with at least three ideas.

2. What one thing will you do today to reduce distraction and stimulation and
make it more likely to work on your most important task?!
fi
Day 6—Let go of Fear

1. Accept and embrace your feelings. Accept completely your fear of not
being good enough.

2. Practice self-compassion. Write down all the things you could accom-
plish in the future by doing what you need to do regardless of how you feel
(instead of procrastinating).

3. Stop making a big deal out of your tasks. Chunk down your tasks.
Make them as easy as possible to work on.

4. See yourself as a lifelong learner. You can never be good enough or

perfect because life is always about the process. Learn to enjoy the process.

Use the following prompts to help you reframe the way you perceive your-
self:

● I might not be as good enough as I’d like yet, but I’m becoming better
and thoroughly enjoying the process.

● I love challenging myself and completing di cult tasks because I know

It help me become better

● I’m a learner and take pleasure in learning new things about myself and
about the world around me.

● I’m perfectly okay where I currently am and I can’t wait to grow and
learn more

Day 7—Implement a daily routine and build consistency
Now, let’s work on creating an awesome daily routine. To do so, follow these
steps below:

1. Decide when and where you’ll do your daily routine. First thing in the
morning is preferable.

● When will I do my daily routine?

● Where will I do it?

2. Decide exactly what you’ll be doing. Make it simple so that you can sus-
tain it over a long period of time. (Consistency is far more important than in-
tensity).

● What are the speci c habits I will implement in my daily routine?

3. Get started.

4. Work without interruptions.

Remember, your important tasks should be as easy as possible to start while

distractions should be as di cult as possible to engage it.

Limit the risk you get distracted by:

● Turning your phone o

● Turning the Wi o

● Using a software to block speci c websites (social media etc.)

And you could make it easier to tackle your key tasks by:

● Making the les you’re working easy to nd out

● Avoiding going on the internet before you work on your task
