WHAT SHOULD YOU DO FIRST?

Think of this as the exorcist for the procrastination demons.  And yes you should read this now and not put it off til later.

 Here is my old 10 step strategy for doing tasks:

1. Make a list of all the things I need to do. 
2. Include things that I've already done so I can feel good about ticking them off.
3. Do the remaining easiest things on the list.
4. Make a start on one of the harder things.
5. Try and silence the screaming inside my head.
6. Have a biscuit.
7. Check Facebook.
8. Have another biscuit.
9. Write a blog about biscuits while eating a biscuit.
10. Write another list.

I wouldn't recommend using it.  If procrastination was on the list, I'd even have put that off until tomorrow. Here is my new one - you might find it more helpful.

1. Get up an hour earlier.
2. Make a list of all the things I need to do.
3. Don't bother writing things that have already been done.
4. Pick the toughest thing on the list.
5. Change my state - music, movement, fist pump, battle cry.
6. Imagine the feeling of the task done.
7. Visualise immersing in one thing and ignore the noise of other tasks.
8. Take action as fast as possible.
9. Celebrate.
10. Change my state - music, movement, fist pump, battle cry.
11. Apologise to the other people in the cafe.
12. Take on the next hardest.
