Just do something.  ANYTHING.  Action is usually the ultimate solution to any dilemma.  It makes things happen and it makes you feel better because you are taking ownership of the situation and making progress to move it on.

“But my situation is unique,” I hear you say “there’s just this particular set of circumstances that mean I can’t get on to it until…”

Yeah, yeah, yeah.  Repeat after me – “Procrastination is unsexy, doesn’t make my life or the lives of the people around me any better, and means that I never quite live up to my potential.”

You do know what you need to do in a situation most of the time, you do have a hunch, or a rough idea of the action you need to take.  So take action on this hunch or rough idea and do what feels to be right.

• Find an hour today that you can totally dedicate to the situation you want to address and take some action – any action – to move it on.
• At the end of that hour write down your next steps and commit to a time to have achieved them by.

You mean you can’t find an hour; are you seriously telling yourself it’s not that important?

It really is that simple.

And the best bit about this exercise?

• Reward yourself at the end of the day with whatever floats your boat.

You deserve it because you made something happen you action hero you.
