Part 5 - Improving your life - Procrastination!
** With all of your leisure and commitments laid out ahead of you, it becomes clear exactly how much time you will have for work. **

“We all tend to become procrastinators!”
“Procrastination (noun). The action of ruining your life for no apparent reason.”
Putting play before work may seem irresponsible, but experts argue that this counter-intuitive move might actually make you more productive in the long run.
Enter the world of ‘unscheduling’: an upside-down approach to help chronic postponers get their lives back on track. Like most time-planning methods,
the technique involves creating a weekly schedule that blocks out specific
time blocks for particular tasks.
* Most of which could be controlled.
The key is that rather than just making a plan for the work that you have to do, you must learn to do the opposite:
1) Schedule the activities that you would like to do, such as meeting a friend
for dinner, or other social obligations!
2) Then consider such events which are necessary for keeping yourself in tune with life and keeping in proper physical condition, such as going for a run, or swimming and getting enough sleep each night.
3) Strat with small easy to complete taskd rather than jumping into a major financial problem like doing this years taxes. Simple will show better progress and tend to push you in the right direction!
Finally, you can then add in whatever you have already planned for, such as holidays and meetings. The key is not to schedule in any plans for work whatsoever. Your work should end up being available as you have sorted out the numerious problems of your life.
A simple model Unschedule - will never contain the words of unplanned activities “write a book,” “finish presentation” or “revise your last assignment.”
Unschedule works because it is about control without all the planning! You
must learn to fill in or fit the unplanned activities for it to work! It is about being spontaneous and learning to improvise at the moment!
Rather than cancelling lunches and postponing gym sessions to devote yourself entirely to a particular project, you can slot it neatly into the life that you want to lead. Then with all of your leisure and commitments laid out ahead of you,
it becomes clear exactly how much time you will have for work.
Then all you have to do is get started.
Ready set go!
