[[:encoded, "Today we are talking about tip #4 for tricking your mind into overcoming procrastination, which is to Set a Timer to Work on the Task.\n\nSometimes it’s not knowing how long a task is going to take that can deter you from even starting. What if it takes longer than you think? What if that keeps you from doing other, more important things? Might as well push it to tomorrow.\n\nSet a timer so you know exactly how long you’ll be working on the task. Start with 25 minutes and see how you feel, and if you’re in a good flow, set the timer for another 25 minutes. That way, there is an end in sight. The Pomodoro timer is a good one to check out to keep you focused on the task at hand for 25 minutes at a time before reminding you to take a break.\n\nIf you have a deadline the next day and absolutely need to finish today, try setting timers with breaks in between, if you can. That way, you’re at least breaking up your day, so there is an end in sight after each time the timer goes off.\n\nYou can even make a game out of it. Set a timer first for 10 minutes. If you “beat” that timer, try setting another timer for 15 minutes. Keep going for as long as you can, and before you know it, you’ll be done!\n\nTune in tomorrow for tip #5 to trick your mind into overcoming procrastination.\n\nSubscribe to my high-value business success tips and resources Blog https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/blog/) \n\nGo to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com to check out for yourself how I, as your Accountability Coach™, can help you get and stay focused on you highest payoff activities that put you in the highest probability position to achieve your professional and personal goals, so you can enjoy the kind of business and life you truly want and deserve. \n\nFor more help with growing your business and accelerating your results, reach out to me today and schedule your complimentary consultation.\n\nTake advantage of all the complimentary business tips and tools by joining the Free Silver Membership on https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/coaching-store/inner-circle-store/. \n\nIf you are getting value from any of Podcasts, please take a minute to leave me a short rating and review.
