3 Strategies To Help You Avoid Procrastination
​
1. Create daily “to-do” lists. These are your daily goals [See Bonus 1]. You want to complete 70 percent or more of your “to-do” items every day.
2. Have a “DAILY THREE.” These activities represent the crucial things that will help you get closer to realizing some major purpose or goal.
​
3. Have accountability partners. These are people you team with to pursue a big goal. Communicate with them at least every week, and make sure they hold your feet to the fire.
