This method, quite simply has three steps:
Step 1 - Sit down.
Step 2 - Begin working.
Step 3 - Do not get up until you have finished what you have committed yourself to completing.
To have success at this method, here are some suggestions:
- Assign yourself tasks you believe you can accomplish in one sitting (write 250 words, pay four bills, make three calls, etc.).
- Build in a small reward for yourself for each time you have kept a Butt in the Chair commitment.
- Keep track of what you have accomplished, so you can see how well you are doing.
- If you do not keep a commitment to yourself, gently explore what happened.

I'll try this methology. Sounds like a very effective way of getting things/task done for paperwork. However, not all the things I do is done at the table. I read your other past suggestion, which is doing things and when your energy or concentration is waning, you move to the other task....which is what I am probably doing now, and things are left uncompleted because by then there are other priorities, and I tend to forget the "unfinished" task or until I remember to go back to it for completion.
Anyway, thank you for your very practical effective advise I just read.
When you keep running into the same undone projects...STOP!
Find your favorite mirror.
Look into the mirror.
With your right (left is ok too) index finger, point at yourself in the mirror.
Say the following (OUT LOUD):
JUST DO IT, NOW!
This will work for you, or soon you'll have people all dressed in white, doing lots of stuff for you!
All the best,
Jon
