It’s so true that is you just start to break it down into chunks you can manage and not being perfect. I’m going to print this out so I remember when I’m stuck!

Good ideas. Chunking has been the most important thing of all for me, I think. And doing that itself can seem to affect the perfectionism issue. I also think it’s important to keep in mind your highest values and vision as you consider doing the project.

One last note. Sometimes I think we procrastinate because a part of us realizes we really shouldn’t do the task at hand, that it isn’t really the right priority for us. Separating this from other issues like simple fear of success or fear of failure or just lack of focus is a difficult but important task.

I love the advice you offer here. All of us get stuck and sometimes there seems to be no way to fix it. I especially like the “done is better than perfect”. A lot of us, women in particular, seem to get hung up on this one. Thanks for offering workable, practical solutions for entrepreneurs!I am going to be sure to post your site on my blog so the female entrepreneurs that visit there can enjoy your wisdom.

You are right. Tackle the toughest task at the start of your day. If not, the day will be focusing on that one task and not the others that you need to do.

This is a great way to think about things.

I wouldn’t consider myself a procrastinator but instead I have too many things going on in my head to execute.

Which I guess can be just as much of a problem as being a procrastinator.

I’m gonna try breaking things down into smaller chunks, like your “chunk it down”. I like that one :)

Great post, I agree writing things down it brings them into reality and they seem to get done and best of all when you complete at least one activity on your list it creates such a positive attitude that it snowballs your efforts.

Great Tips – thanks! I like the one on accountability. In fact, when I’m planning to do something that’s important to me I will always let a few people know what it is, even if they’re not directly involved. Making a ‘public’ commitment is a great motivator – especially as the people I tell are likely to ask how my task or project is coming along.
