I’m not perfect but I use ”fear” as my motivator. Yup…….. FEAR.
Fear of a huge tax penalty inspires me to file taxes early and not procrastinate.
Fear of getting a ticket motivates me to put money in the meter and not procrastinate.
Fear of LONG lines forces me to do Xmas shopping early and not last minute.
Fear of an angry client motivates me to give them 110% excellence rather then 90%.
Fear of clients leaving you (or being passed off) should motivate you to act now, deliver any bad news, and have impactful remedies/solutions to solve and fix whatever snafu’s you were afraid to call them about. Hopefully its fixable and they wont leave you, but it’ll also (hopefully) help you earn respect since you did not procrastinate and hide. You admitted to an error and faced your clients (however humbly so).
Find that motivator. Find that Higher Power to inspire you to break the Procrastinating (procrastaholic) Habit.
