Did you know that more than 25% of Americans would say that they procrastinate chronically? Good way to combat procrastinating is to minimize distractions… Facebook, Television and eMail are good places to begin.

Thanks for sharing this statistic Susan. As much as I truly love the interaction of face book and twitter, (some great people out there) I have been finding myself lost in that world and not getting my work done.
I am now using my handy dandy calendar to write down what to do when and slotting out specific times in the day to get onto the social media mania. trying for only 15 minutes in the beginning of the day and 15 minutes toward the end… Still not perfect yet as I can’t help but want to respond to comments on my posts during the day, but even then I am posting and logging out… Starting to get good at it.
When I am not seeing patients or coaching clients, I work in my home office so as not to be tempted by other distractions around the house. I know you spent time organizing your office this weekend, and that is going to be my goal this coming weekend. Any good suggestions?
I remember when I was in graduate school, my house was SO clean!! LOL!
Have a sweet night Susan

Good reminder. Distractions steal not only our time and productivity, but our lives. wb
Wow, talk about not living up to our potential! I think it’s important to have some of those things turned off while I’m working. My bad habit is checking emails too often.
Yes, I do procrastinate, especially with tasks that seems too difficult. To overcome, I set aside time and break the task down into small managable chunks. I achieve huge relief once completed
thanks for your “get organized” post link, I left a comment there, but I think you may need to check your spam box, as I do not see it there.
Would love to know about your social media routine…
Warmest hugs,
Dianne
