Good business coaching can save you time and money.  As we all learned in school, procrastination is the thief of time. This tendency to put things off until a later time, to avoid doing things that should be done is a more common disease than the flu.

 Yet, how fulfilling our existences really  could be if we conquered this mental malady. How much less  stress would we carry if we did not allow ourselves to be mentally burdened with unfinished tasks hanging over us.

There are various reasons for procrastinating from negative self talk, “ I can never seem to get this done right  ,” to being unclear about the task or not seeing the relevance of the task, to finding the task boring – especially true with repetitive tasks, to poor time management.

Whatever the cause, or excuse, procrastination  is rooted in our mind, in the way we think, and with the right mind training  we can learn to rise to the occasion “mentally,” and get it done. Boring and repetitive tasks are often the most difficult to find motivation for.

In the corporate world, procrastination is one of the biggest profit drains.  With procrastinators,  it can be the corridor meeting, surfing the net, or the coffee pot – they all work against inertia . And yet, just creating movement is quite often all that is needed to change the inertia.  Motion encourages more motion. 

Procrastination isn’t just something that afflicts employees, it also affects business owners – especially when things aren’t going well.  To fix procrastination in the workplace, the best place to begin is with the owner or manager of the business.  You can’t expect your team to show a quality that you won’t or can’t demonstrate yourself.

If you find that you  constantly find that you never seem to complete your tasks  on a personal level, or if you own a business and you have employees who have difficulty reaching deadlines,  it might be a worthwhile idea to secure the services of a  business mentor who is adept at teaching people to overcome procrastination. Business owners and employees both enjoy the workplace much more when they have learned to self start and overcome procrastination.
