Procrastination-Buster Days

 

Next Procrastination-Buster Day:

Saturday 4th February 2012

(only two places left)

 

If you’re a procrastinator you know only too well how procrastination can blight your life.

Do these problems sound familiar?

• The same things show up week after week on your to-do list
• You put things off until the very last minute and meet deadlines by the skin of your teeth
• There are incomplete tasks and projects piling up around your home or office
• There are jobs you just can’t seem to get started on
• Your heart sinks when you think about all the things you still haven’t done
• You find it hard to make decisions
• You miss out on opportunities because of your failure to act

 

I know all of this because for as long as I can remember I’ve been a procrastinator. And I know from personal experience what a nightmare it can be!

Like you, I know all the things you’re supposed to do to combat procrastination: Make a list of priorities — do the thing you’re avoiding first — chunk it down into smaller steps — give yourself a reward for completing the task… But we all know that, while these make perfect sense, THEY DON’T WORK!

Somehow, knowing what you ought to be doing just makes things worse and you end up feeling even more dispirited. And that eats away at the self-discipline that’s vital for keeping up the momentum and staying on track.

In my experience there’s ONLY ONE WAY TO BEAT PROCRASTINATION — and that is to make yourself accountable to someone else.

And that’s what the Procrastination-Buster Day is all about.

When you participate in a Procrastination-Buster Day you share your gnarly tasks with a group of others and you make yourself accountable to them for getting your tasks done. It may sound intimidating, but it’s not. It’s a very safe space. Everyone else is in the same boat and understands your challenges. It works a treat, everyone gets lots done and really enjoys themselves.

 

Next Procrastination-Buster Day:

Saturday 4th February 2012

 

By taking part you will:

• Get started on that project you’ve been putting off
• Get jobs done that have been on your To-Do List for AGES
• Take action and keep the momentum going
• Do more in one day than you have in weeks
• Have fun doing it
• Raise money for charity

How does the Procrastination-Buster Day work?

• At 10am all participants call in on a conference line. After introductions each person states their tasks for the day and makes a commitment to complete them. We all hang up and everyone gets started on their tasks

• At 1pm there’s another group call to report on progress, share successes, make further commitments and get help and support if needed

• At 4pm everyone calls in again to report progress and celebrate their successes

• You have access to Annabel at all times for motivation, inspiration, support and help if you need it

• You’ll receive a Procrastination-Buster Tips Sheet full of tips for beating procrastination and making the most of the day

• You’ll get lots of support and motivation. Everyone’s got the same aim in mind and you’ll find that the power, energy and enthusiasm generated by the group will help give you the focus and commitment you need to zap those jobs once and for all.

 

What do you need to do?

• Have a list of tasks — or one specific task — that you want to take action on
• Have a clear space of time on the PBD between 10am and 4.30pm
• Have access to the phone and a minimum of interruptions
• Come with a willingness and determination to get stuck in and get lots done

Space is limited, so you’ll need to book as soon as possible to guarantee a place

PBD participants have enjoyed a 100% success rate. This is what they say:

I found the PBD a fantastic and productive use of time and well worth the investment. It enabled me to totally rearrange my home office to make it more manageable, plus I completed a number of other items that had been on my 'to-do' list for months. I would recommend this to anyone!
Anna Golawski, Work Life Balance Coach, Brighton

I participated in Annabel's PBD and found it absolutely brilliant — a genius idea! I achieved so much in a day and actually lifted an enormous load off my mind by doing my chosen tasks. It was great hearing everyone else's experiences and realising I am not alone in my procrastinatory habits and sharing each other's ideas. Everyone was very honest and open and encouraging and I not only got a load done — I actually enjoyed doing it!
Clare Flynn, Management Consultant, London

day like this is worth its weight in gold. I find it incredible how much more I achieved than on an ordinary Saturday. It really works.

John Cutts, Personal Development Consultant

Annabel's PBD gave me the structure and support to get something done which I had been putting off for weeks, and to get started on something I've been putting off for years!

Roz Ivanic, Lancaster

What a great way to tackle the things you've been putting off! A very satisfying day's work.

Sue Brown, The Identity Coach

Being accountable to a group in real time was a great feature. I flagged on more than one occasion but knowing that I'd have to report back to everyone got me going again. And it was gerat to hear how the others got on - sharing ideas, helping and supporting.
Jane Howitt, Online Copywriter

You are going to do this again, aren't you? Because I want another go!
