If you have days when you don´t feel like doing anything 
what can you do?
When a deadline looms you need a quick and easy way to 
start making some progress. This is very possible for you 
with the following three minor shifts in how you think 
about work.
1. Define Specifically What You Must Do
Ignore all other tasks for the moment. This step can be a 
revelation - clarity helps you to concentrate on what 
matters most of all.
It is a lot easier to get started when you know what needs 
to be done rather than feeling like you have to do 
everything at the same time.
Write down the goal as specifically as you can so that you 
have a clear and attainable target to aim for.
2. Allow Yourself To Make Mistakes
If you demand perfection of yourself you will quite 
naturally put off getting started until the perfect moment 
arrives. Of course this will never happen so you will never 
commence the project.
It is more important to begin.
Do your best and make corrections later on. By adopting 
this outlook you will get something done and you can enlist 
the help of others to advise you and give feedback.
Then improve your work after you have finished your first 
effort.
3. Compete Against Yourself
When you compete against others the possibility of failure 
can stop you from even trying. It is far better to compete 
against your previous best performance.
Compare the quality of your work with your usual standards 
and aim to match or beat that standard. This approach puts 
you back in control and allows you to succeed on your own 
terms.
Obviously your personal standards must meet or exceed those 
of the people who are relying on your work.
To sum up. You can beat procrastination with a few minor 
shifts in how you think about success and achievement.
For the sake of learning a new way of thinking about your 
work you can enjoy greater success and leave the anxiety of 
procrastination behind forever.
