Can a housekeeper be a motivation factor?

Posted Mar 18, 2009 03:00 AM

If somebody is clear on what they want and know the way to get what they want. How is that they still can’t get what they are after?

Would it be fair to say that most people would like to be 10Lbs liter? Would you agree with me that those people are clear about wanting to loss 10Lbs? If that is the case than why are these people 10Lbs over weight? Is it because they don’t know how to go about losing 10Lbs? Have they not heard about eating better or less and moving their bodies around more? My guess is that everyone knows the basic things to do for weight loss. So what is the real issue?

This post is not about weight loss, this post is about procrastination…

Let me tell you a story about a man name Joey. Joey will be retiring from his job in 3 years. Joey’s problem is that his monthly retirement check will be $300.00 less than his house payment and not to mention other issues he will face with money for food and everything else.

Joey had been working on starting a business on side for a year now, knowing that he need a way to have extra monthly incoming in the future. However, Joey have yet to do anything money making activity for his business. Joey had come to the conclusions that when he is at work he does his work load every day, but when it is time for him to doing his own business work. He would always find something else to do instead, such as cleaning, researching etc.. Then at the end of the day he would say to himself I can do my business prospecting tomorrow. So for the last year, Joey had a very clean house and he read a lot of information on his business topic. Ironically, Joey hates vacuuming yet often he choose vacuum over building his business.  So one day Joey had an epiphany to take on a more immediate goal instead of normally he was look to start to build a business that will paid for his survival in 3 years. This time Joey’s goal is to get his first sell, and then to hire a housekeeper for once and have someone else vacuum for him.

I wish Joey luck. Do you think Joey’s short term goal will work better him this time? Having a smaller short term goal can be helpful to a Procrastinator.

They must have made this video for me. I think I'll watch it again while I'm waiting to "get my stuff done." :^O

Hi Linda

Well said :) I agreed with you, my feeling is anything that I can do today. There is no reason to wait until tomorrow to do them.
Thanks for your comment.

Giovanna,

Great points.
There is an old saying "Don't do something today when you can put it off until tomorrow!" Procrastination at it's finest example...! ;)

Better to practice "Get it done today and don't put if off any longer." Then all the energy used on postponing a task is more positively directed to achieve better production today.
