Superior Performance Systems.

Hi Friend,

Hope you’re well.

Did you know:

"The average person spends 47% of their waking hours procrastinating” 

Overcoming procrastination & making excuses is the key to your success.

↳ Use this framework:

Make Less Excuses:

1. Identify your top 3 go-to excuses: 

• "I don't have time" 

• "I'm too tired"

• "It's too hard"

2. Challenge each excuse with a counterargument:

• "I can make time by cutting out 30 mins of social media per day"

• "I'll feel more energized after a 10-minute workout"

• "The first step is always the hardest, but it will get easier"

3. Implement a "No Excuses" policy:

• For the next 30 days, ban yourself from using your top 3 excuses

• When you catch yourself making an excuse, immediately replace it with a plan of action
  

4. Track your progress:

• Keep a daily log of when you were tempted to make an excuse, but didn't

• Aim for at least 3 "no excuses" moments per day

• Celebrate milestones, like a week or month without using your go-to excuses

2. Avoid Procrastination:

1. Identify your procrastination triggers:

• Overwhelming tasks 

• Boring or unpleasant activities

• Lack of clear deadlines

2. Use the 2-Minute Rule:

• If a task will take less than 2 minutes:

• Do it immediately instead of putting it off

3. Break big tasks into smaller steps:

• Create a detailed, step-by-step plan for tackling larger projects

• Complete one small step at a time to build momentum

4. Implement the Pomodoro Technique:

• Set a timer for 25 minutes of focused, distraction-free work

• Take a 5-minute break, then repeat

5. Eliminate distractions:

• Turn off notifications, close unnecessary browser tabs, and remove temptations

• Use website blockers or app limiters to restrict access to time-wasting activities

6. Track your time and productivity:

• Use a time-tracking app to monitor where your time is actually spent

• Aim to increase your "time on task" by 10% each week

By developing systems to make fewer excuses and avoid procrastination, you can unlock your true potential and achieve your goals more consistently.
