#procrastinateonpurpose

POP - procrastinate on purpose is to procrastinate with intention. That is patience! Now to just not do something that you know you need to do - that is procrastination without any intention or purpose. I love this idea of #procrastinateonpurpose @rory_vaden He says that doing something early that could wait to be completed tomorrow isn't necessarily a great thing. It robs you of valuable time that could have been spent in something of more significance or urgency. Doing the wrong thing early and perfectly is not time well spent.

MVOT. M what? Don't worry. I had no idea what this was either. MVOT - this is a concept @rory_vaden talks about in his book Procrastinate on Purpose. It's the measured value of time. Sort of like an ROI but of your time. So think about how long it took to do a mundane task? Now what's your hourly wage? Now, who could you have delegated that task to, and for a fraction of your hourly wage? I love multiplying my time by listening to books on tape or via @audible_com while going for a jog with my buddy Hatchi using my @niketraining app. Definitely time well spent! Good for my soul and good for my mind! #procrastinateonpurpose #mvot #timeismoney #audible

I love that @kevinhart4real was my cheerleader today on my @niketraining app and said "it's grind time. And I'm a grinder". You've got to grind everyday! So here I am grinding. Listened to more of #procrastinateonpurpose via #audible today and I love Rory Vaden's thought process that what you say no to doing means you've inadvertently said yes to something else, which could be good. You could have said no to watching tv so you had more time to read and better yourself. Or you could have said no to a client today, so you could be there for your son or daughter's presentation or performance. And when you say yes to something you've also said no to something - robbed yourself of time from other things - like family time, belong your client achieve their dream, reaching your goals, your fitness goals... so make sure you say YES and NO to the right things! The choice is yours. Ask if what I say yes to today going to create more time for other things tomorrow. #multiplyyourtime

I'm listening to a book via #audible called #procrastinateonpurpose by @rory_vaden It's fantastic and matches my 2017 goal of having more focus and implementing routines around what needs to happen every day. Becoming more disciplined. He talks about not managing time, but managing ME, myself. Creating buckets of time for the things that matter most and the things that have to happen and once those buckets or time slots fill up, anything else gets moved to next week. You can't create more time and keep doing things faster. You'll burn out. So commit to buckets of time to get those things done and make a decision for each item if it can be eliminated, delegated, or automated. And if not, then it makes it through your focus funnel and then gets done and concentrated on right now or added to your bucket and scheduled or procrastinated to do later. It's called procrastinate on purpose. It's brilliant!
