One of the most difficult things to accomplish for those who are afflicted with procrastination is to finally decide to take action and do something about it. A word of warning: do not to listen to this script in the late evening hours. You may just find yourself up until three or four in the morning doing your spring cleaning and other long neglected tasks.

You are now happy and delighted whenever you think of the things that you would like or need to accomplish. It feels good to have a purpose to direct your energies toward each day. By completing all of your busy tasks now, your free time becomes truly that: your free time. If there is work to do, it feels good to do it and to complete it. Any assignments, homework, or household tasks or chores are actually fun to do and complete.

When you are at work or school, you feel calm and relaxed about anything added to your list that will require your time and attention later in the day, week, or even year, because you now have a strong sense of motivation and purpose. You even feel peaceful about doing these tasks and completing all that is required to be successful at work, school, or even at home.

Now when there is an assignment or project, you get it done at the earliest time possible, knowing that this way you can also find time to do other things you value and enjoy. You simply do what needs to be done … and move on … with ease and enjoyment during the whole process.

It feels so good to complete things that you wonder why you waited so long in the past to get to them … and you feel great about yourself and your life … as you should … because you deserve to feel good about yourself, and now you are doing the things that reflect that good feeling more and more often.

Your new motto in life is “do it now,” and that is exactly what you do. You now look at all of your chores, tasks, and other things to be done as challenges, and you now approach those challenges with excitement and a positive attitude.

Each day create a Do list. On this list you write down all of the challenges that you are faced with on that day. In the evening you can check this list to see how many of these challenges you have met and completed. You can then enter new challenges that need to be accomplished for the coming day. This way you will be organized in your activities and confident now that procrastination is in the past.
