The 3-Step Solution to Break Free from Procrastination
1️ The 3-Second Rule – Trick Your Brain into Action
- If you think of something you need to do, take action within 3 seconds before your brain talks you out of it.
- It can be as small as opening an email, picking up the phone, or writing the first sentence.
- Why? Action kills overthinking.
2️ The 5-Minute Sprint – Make It Tiny
- Tell yourself: "I’ll just do this for 5 minutes."
- Once you start, momentum kicks in, and you’ll likely keep going.
- Why? It bypasses the brain’s resistance to big tasks.
3️ The Public Commitment – No More Hiding
- Say it out loud or message someone: "I will [task] by [time]."
- Why? When we make things public, we’re more likely to follow through.
PS: Procrastination is just fear dressed up as excuses. Action is the only antidote.
