Why do we put the important things

Think about your career, make a financial plan, health care, gain a new skill - all these important issues, usually related to our long-term goals. But for some reason, we again and again postpone them every day to find something more urgent.

1. We are wrong to spend the most productive time

For most of us have to peak productivity in the morning, but unfortunately, we rarely use it effectively. Instead, we begin to check your mail, compose a list of daily, or go to a meeting. Although it would be better to spend the morning on the cases requiring large energy inputs, such as planning or calculations.

2. We prefer things that give us a sense of progress

When we answered 15 unimportant emails, the result is obvious - 15 sent replies. We think that time is spent productively. But if we are within an hour pondering something, no specific result and the feeling that we have not done anything.

Small things that are easy to make and delete from the list, give us pleasure. So why not simplify your work on the big goals?

Break your long-term goal into smaller steps, and then passed to label each step in order to monitor their progress and be inspired.

3. We are waiting for inspiration

If you want to do something important, just make a plan and start acting. Do not wait for inspiration, Even if you work in a creative field. Take the time and get down to business.

4. we prokrastiniruem

For procrastination include analysis of mail, browsing the list of cases, cleaning the desktop. Such cases give us the feeling that we have achieved something, even though it is not so. They are even more time consuming than save.

If you still need to do something out of the above, the highlight at this time, after work on the big goal.

5. We do not realize what we're doing wrong choice

Long-term goals are often not reflected in our daily schedule. In the calendar we are meeting other urgent business, and between them - empty blocks. And when we see them, we feel that it is now free and can fit into your schedule a couple more meetings. Although in reality these blocks is not empty - it's time to work on big goals.
