PREPARE THOROUGHLY
BEFORE YOU BEGIN by Linda Overstreet |
“No matter what the level of your ability,
you have more potential than you can ever develop in a lifetime.” (James T.
McKay)
|
HAVE EVERYTHING AT HAND
One of the best ways for you to overcome
procrastination and get more things done faster is for you to have everything
you need at hand before you begin.
When you are fully prepared, you are like a
cocked gun or an archer with an arrow pulled back taut in the bow. You just need
one small mental push to get started on your highest value tasks. CLEAR YOUR WORKSPACE
Begin by clearing off your desk or
workspace so that you only have one task in front of you. If necessary, put
everything on the floor or on the table behind you.
Gather all the information,
reports, details, papers, and work materials that you will require to complete
the job. Have them at hand so you can reach them without getting up or moving.
Be sure that you have all writing materials, computer disks, access codes, email
addresses and everything else you need to start and continue working until the
job is done.

MAKE IT COMFORTABLE AND CONDUCTIVE
Set up your work area so that it is
comfortable, attractive and conducive to working for long periods.
Especially,
make sure that you have a comfortable chair that supports your back and allows
your feet to sit flat on the floor. The most productive people take the time to
create a work area where they enjoy spending time.
The cleaner and neater your
work area before you begin, the easier it is for you to get started and keep
going.
ASSUME THE POSITION
When you sit down, with everything in front
of you, ready to go, assume the body language of high performance.
Sit up
straight, sit forward and away from the back of the chair. Carry yourself as
though you were an efficient, effective high performing personality.
Then, pick
up the first item and say to yourself, "Let's get to work!" and plunge in. And
once you've started, keep going until the job is finished.

ACTION EXERCISES
First, take a good look at your
desk or office, both at home and at the office. Ask yourself, “What kind of a
person works in an environment like that?”
Second, resolve today to clean up your desk and
office completely so that you feel effective, efficient and ready to get going
each time you sit down to work. For more information
