•​Recognize that you have an illogical fear and deal with it. Procrastination is, most of the time, driven by fear. What are you afraid of? If you are unsure of yourself, are not sure what to do, or you fear failure, you might choose procrastination over taking action. Have a positive outlook rather than fear. Learn to take control over your life and manage your time.
•​Stay accountable. Make sure you stay productive. Partake in ongoing personal growth. Ask someone to test you to suggest ways in which you can increase productivity to become more efficient.
•​Drop the victim mentality. Do not blame others or circumstances for your problems. Realize that although much of life is out of your control, you can choose how to react.
•​Build self-confidence to deal with things without your control.
•​Consider outsourcing some of the tasks you are not good at. Focus on those you are good at and love to do.
•​Set priorities. You need not do everything right now. Write a task list, break all the tasks down, and do the most important first. Get rid of distractions and work through your tasks one at a time.
•​Do not forget to reward yourself after certain goals are met. This increases motivation and confidence.
•​Set goals that truly motivate you.
•​Surround yourself with doers. Avoid negative people as they will only pull you down.
•​Restrict interruptions. Set time aside to deal with emails, your phone, and personal visits. Keep your concentration on the task at hand until it is finished

Laziness. It is the desire of passivity, to do nothing and put in no or little effort into things. To be productive and achieve success, laziness and procrastination should be overcome.
To overcome laziness, you will first have to make a choice to act. Choose not to be passive anymore.

Here are some ideas to overcome laziness:
•​Tasks should be broken down into smaller, realistic tasks. It will then be easier for you to do it, as they will not appear to be so overwhelming. A series of smaller tasks seems to be much more achievable.
•​Know where you are going. Visualize what you want to be or where you want to reach. Reflect on these goals frequently. Think about the life you want to live. Think about what could happen if you are lazy and don't perform your tasks. This might motivate you.
•​Do not multi-task. Too many tasks could overwhelm you, leading to procrastination.
•​Do you get enough sleep? Laziness can also be due to tiredness—as a result of too little sleep—causing your energy reserves to drop. Make sure that you sleep enough and get enough exercise.

Indecisiveness. In the Bible (James 1:8), we read that a double-minded man is unstable in all he does. Indecision means you have difficulty in deciding. Decide to be decisive. To stop postponing life's decisions. Eliminate uncertainty and turn “maybe” into a “yes” or “no.” Decisiveness reduces procrastination and increases productivity and self-confidence.
​
Tips to be more decisive:
- Declutter your house and your life. People mostly build up clutter because of indecision. Become minimalistic. There are numerous good books available on minimalism.
- Keep your to-do list up to date. Scratch out items you are finished with. Keep it clean and well defined.
- Sort out all the unresolved matters in your life. Get it done and over with.
- Get hold of a Self discipline workbook to help you achieving your goals.
- Make sure all your goals and smaller tasks are well defined. It will be easier for you to get off the line and get them done with—without hesitation—as clear steps are set.

Time management is a very important habit that very much determines the quality and outcome of your life. Time management can also be called life management or personal management. You cannot replace time, but you can make a choice to spend it differently. You can spend it on important stuff rather than on areas of low value. To do this, you have to develop effective strategies to manage your time. Time management skills are valuable in all areas of life.

Which skills will you need to manage your time? To name a few, you should be able to set goals, to break them into smaller steps and regularly test your progress. You should be able to prioritize and organize your schedule and pull through when things are not going your way. Time management is the planning and balancing of the tasks and responsibilities of the day.

Organizing the content of your life based on your needs is a best practice for managing your time, resources and money and is an essential first step if you are to fully achieve your potential in life.

Organizing the content of your life based on your needs is a best practice for managing your time, resources and money and is an essential first step if you are to fully achieve your potential in life. The reasons for this are simple. An organized clear mind leads to clear and objective goals, which in turn leads to you being able to achieve what you set out to do.

A critical first step then in staying organized is to set up a system of resource planning and clerical needs (a Business planning Kit) that allows you to plan out your time effectively, and allocate where you are going to spend it. In short this means such steps as getting a day planner so that you can plan ahead. Getting appropriate stationary systems and office space in place, and also getting yourself a filing cabinet, or at the very least some kind of filing system!

It would certainly be true to say that staying organized then is not something that lots of people do naturally! At first it can even seem slightly stifling, especially if you are used to totally going with the flow of what each day brings. In truth this is ok. It IS good to be spontaneous on occasions, but in general it is vital to plan out what you need to do in a particular time frame, because otherwise it is all to easy to simply become distracted! (For help with Goal Setting you can visit http://www.goalsettingnews.com)

All of us know this to be true if we think about it from the viewpoint of our own lives. For example, when we surf the web we find ourselves flitting between sites, and before you know it a couple of hours have past! Now, don't get me wrong. That is one of the joys of the internet, and of life in General. But it is
nevertheless a time stealer that staying focused and staying organised could have helped to negate.

So then am I saying that Staying Organized should mean robbing you of the juice of life? Robbing you of the spontaneity? NO! No! NO! For me the exact opposite is true. Staying organized is about finishing the day's tasks and having crammed far more good stuff in! In short it is the exact opposite of a spoil sport! ;)

You should know your own strengths and weaknesses when it comes to this area (clue... Staying organized means doing more of the things you like!) and communicate them to yourself regularly to analyze that your wants and needs are being met effectively. Then organize your time based on that feedback.

Keep with the program. Stay Organized, and Organize YOUR Life For Success!

Commitment means to be dedicated to a specific cause. To take full ownership for what you want to achieve. Without commitment, self-discipline towards goal achievement is not possible. Once you have committed yourself to something, you will do it without hesitation. But if you are not committed to the outcome, you will battle to keep going and achieve your goal. This is significant, as we need to examine our commitment towards a specific goal first—as self-discipline is not possible without having commitment first. When you feel discouraged, it is of uttermost importance to have the commitment to keep your motivation going. This is where commitment can make the difference between succeeding or not going anywhere.

The greatest challenges many of us have to face, is how to be patient. Patience is defined as "the ability to continue doing something despite difficulties, without complaining or becoming annoyed." 
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/patience To put it another way, a person with patience will be too able to resist frustration without becoming upset. Patience makes you happier as it reduces stress levels and you will also feel more in control and be better at decision-making. All of these characteristics will enhance your self control.

• Make to be patient your goal for an entire day. Be mindful and put in effort to think properly before deciding.
• Slow down and relax. Do not get upset by long queues or slow traffic.
• You can choose how you react in a situation. Make the choice to be patient.
• Pinpoint the triggers that makes you impatient. Know of it. Put you in the other person's shoes.
• Do not solely focus on the results, you should enjoy the journey too and have fun.
• Second think everything before you speak or do anything. Practice gratification.
• Listen patiently to other people and take time to plan your response.
• Recognize that there always will be things out of your control. Do not waste energy on those.

The more you try to be patient, the easier it will be as patience is a muscle you develop.

If thinking negative things like "I can't do this" or " this is to difficult for me" you will not get any positive results. Rather condition your brain to think positive thoughts to overcome the negativity. Change the way you think by put in effort to change, tell yourself out aloud that you can and will. Take control and train your brain to think positive. Develop a positive attitude for life and expect to have a success.

Effective positive thinking is more than repeating positive words, or just telling yourself that it will be ok. It has to be your default attitude. Do not allow fear entering your mind. Much effort will be necessary. 

• While thinking and talking use positive words only. Words like 'I will be able', 'it will happen', etc.
• Ignore your negative thoughts. Substituting them with positive happy ones.
• Read an inspiring book or listen to an inspiring podcast every day. Limit time spent on negative events, news and newspapers.
• Surround yourself with positive people.
• Look at your body posture. Always sit upright and walk with your back straight. This increase confidence.

Think positive, expect results and in time, you will see change. Even when your current circumstances are not as ideal.
