Procrastination

We are all guilty of it. Pushing a dinner date to the last minute, looking

for a jacket while the Uber idles in the drive, putting off a last minute

homework project; procrastination, the list is virtually endless. Additionally, we all

know those people that live on the other end of the spectrum, when

they arrive early, for them it is on time and on time is late, contrast that

with those of us that believe being fashionably late is the only way to

go.

I’m not just talking about everyday time conflicts; I speak to a broader

sense of maintaining commitments and experiencing the satisfaction

of accomplishing tasks that lead to success.

“Once you set goals you must set a timeline in which you wish to

accomplish these benchmarks, although they may change, your

commitment to see your goals through to the end should not waiver.

This is the tightrope of procrastination. Constantly be checking in with

yourself. There is no greater feeling than completing a goal, task, and

project by your set date or even earlier. If you have yet to feel that

satisfaction begin working on taking steps to accomplishing tasks

today.”—Jeremy Fouts

As it relates to your CorVive business there is a big difference between

being a pushing person and being a prompt person. If people feel your

urgency and excitement they will reflect that in your engagements as

you discuss the CorVive lifestyle. As opposed to seeming desperate,

lean and hungry—that look is never good on anyone and your

prospects can feel those inclinations.

Some of these tips might seem obvious, but since we are addressing

procrastination, let’s get some real world tips that can help. My top 3

tips for avoiding procrastination.

-Organize your life (maybe grab that super organized friend to help

you). Write down your routines and check in regularly. You will be

surprised how quickly things move when you’re tracking closely. Once

you nail one of your milestones mark it off and start working on the

next one.

-On that note: set clear goals and define a realistic timeline. That one

is pretty straightforward.

-And finally, prioritize. If you are having a hard time pushing through

some of the heavier lifting choose times to work on lower hanging fruit

that is easier to check off the box. Perfection is not realistic, but constant

forward motion will benefit you greatly.

marketing. Get out there with some solid goals and an unflawed ‘why’,

I know you are capable of great things.
