If you do nothing else that day, that is the ONE thing that needs to be prioritized and accomplished. Also it\u2019s a good idea to reflect on why that item is continually put off and avoided- make sure to find a way to get yourself to do it right away next time, whether it\u2019s removing obstacles or finding a way to reward yourself for completing it. <\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"thefa-test2 thefa-entity-placement\" id=\"thefa-4110183671\"><div id=\"thefa-2044254311\"><style>.thefa-test2 {margin-bottom: 24px;}<\/style>\r\n<div class=\"banner-content-position light-viol\">\r\n<div class=\"banner-text max400\">Procrastination is not laziness. It's a lack of routine.<\/div>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/start.thefabulous.co\/onboarding\/fabulous-initial?utm_source=community-qa&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=afterfirstquestionoranswer-purple-achievegoals\" class=\"banner-cta red w-inline-block\">\r\n<div>Build yours now<\/div><\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lino Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It can be tempting to add all of the items that we eventually want to be accomplished each day. Starting slowly helps build routines. Routines make things happen with very little effort and therefore are easier to continue doing each day. So ask yourself if you are skipping items because you are:<br \/>\n1. avoiding it<br \/>\n2. it just isn&#39;t very important to you, or<br \/>\n3. you are still focusing on making other items a routine. <\/p>\n<p>If you&#39;re avoiding it, ask yourself why. If it isn&#39;t important or you are still struggling to accomplish the vital items on your list, it is okay to temporarily remove the ignored items until you are ready.  This program works to help you feel good about all that you are changing in your life, not to beat you up with what you haven\u2019t been doing. <\/p>\n<p>So start small, create lasting routines, and enjoy seeing a new and improved you shine through.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Molly X.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I would try to live those items up, or ask if it\u2019s necessary to have them on a list. Maybe items that don\u2019t get done regularly are things that are often unimportant or they can be finished at a slower pace. At any rate things should customizable. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">L Andre Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Maybe rescheduling said habbits. Stacking them with other similar ones. Or replacing them with other, smaller ones; breaking them down further.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Donna T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I absolutely find this! I don\u2019t know if I have a good answer, except that maybe if it keeps not getting done it might not need to be done. Unless it really, really does and you\u2019re avoiding it, in which case maybe it\u2019s about doing the hardest thing first. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Aci Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yup. But I just keep adding it to the next day. Maybe an idea would be to block an hour or a certain amount of time to complete the task on Friday afternoon. That way you don\u2019t go into the weekend with it hanging over your head <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Geralda S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yes, I find this to be the case with some tasks. I can set a day when I will have time and set an alarm on my phone to ensure this task is done. If it is still neglected then it isn&#39;t considered important. I should set it to the end of my priority list. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ralfe Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I reevaluate the items mentioned and try and work out why. Is it just my day is busy. Or maybe the task just isint as important or needed. Some time it is the later. Most of the time it is a sign of me trying to do to much in a sea of my other work.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ottomar U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I would be more focus at the task at hand. Due to most of my attention where drawn into the internet world and stuff that I may call procrastinating had given me a hard time in coping up my everyday life. I wish could be more focused and not that easily ditracted from the things around the social media networks and always feeling of missing out on some things such as news about stufff that may interest me.<br \/>\nSo notes to self:<br \/>\n&quot;I SHOULD BE MORE FOCUSED!!&quot;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Therese R.
