Become Action Oriented to Defeat Procrastination
Procrastination is a character trait that isn’t likely to go away and if you’re hoping it will disappear one day, you’ll probably be hoping for a very long time. Once a procrastinator, always a procrastinator. Unless…you become action oriented.
What does action oriented mean?
It means to be oriented toward, or focused on, action.
Do it, do it now. Don’t batch tasks for greater efficiency, and don’t put off something because there’s a better time for it. Just do it now. Take action whenever and wherever you can. You might suffer inefficiencies, but aren’t inefficiencies better than not doing it at all?
The truth is that procrastination is most prevalent when we put something off, because then we just want to put it off longer, later, and sometimes forever. By becoming action oriented and training ourselves to do things without even thinking about them first, we stop procrastination before it has time to take over.
And to me, that’s what becoming action oriented means.
