I do motivational web site and my two free newsletters full-time now. I have always had a passion for such things, and I do truly believe that our achievement is going to be directly proportionate to our ability to focus on things that inspire us! These things move us to action in ways that simply can't be explained. I call it one of life's unsolved mysteries.

Each one of us has within us a special plan. Often times it can take a while to realize what that plan might be. Far more often plan itself is a journey composed of many twists and turns and lots of valuable life lessons along way.

I find a certain peace in accepting that life is a journey and displaying a willingness to accept and have faith that in end all will work out. I hope this message finds you well on your way to accepting what life may have thrown your way... Your friend in success, Josh Hinds

Mowing lawn is a simple enough task, and once you've written it down, chances are that you'll march right out and do it, because unconscious resistance you have to task just melted away. I have no real idea why writing things down --- where you are, what you want to do, and how you want to feel while you're doing it --- works so well in combating procrastination, but it does. Try it.

On other hand, you may get real feelings of conflict when you write down what you want to do. If that happens, keep writing. Ask yourself (in writing) what problem is. Maybe you'll write: "I haven’t got time to mow lawn. I should be working on that presentation I'm giving next week."

Aha! Now you're getting to nitty-gritty. Your procrastination about lawn-mowing and subsequent frustration with yourself is masking your real problem, which is anxiety about your upcoming presentation.

You can deal with that, now you know what it is. You could write: "I will mow lawn and feel great while I'm doing it, and then I will work on presentation for an hour. I will feel relaxed and calm and confident while I work on presentation."

You'll be amazed that once you've written down real problem, it's no longer such a big deal.

Keep writing, until you feel an emotional shift. You'll soon get ideas on how to solve problem, and then you'll hustle right out and get your lawn mowed. And oddly enough, you will also work on your presentation, and you'll enjoy it.

=> Trick yourself

Nine times out of ten, above process will work like proverbial charm.

But what happens if you can’t even force yourself to write? This happens because when you procrastinate, you procrastinate for a reason. If that reason is powerful enough to stop you doing task, and it may also be powerful enough to prevent you using this simple writing process.

All is not lost. Trick yourself. Tell yourself that you're going to list ten places you could go on vacation. Or that you’re going to write a shopping list. Begin writing your list, and after you've written a couple of items, start using GPS process.

Write about where you are, exactly what you want to do, and how you want to feel while you're doing it. You'll be amazed and pleased that you've conquered your procrastinaton.

A benefit of this process is that once you've used it a couple of times, because you know you can eliminate your procrastination anytime you want to, you'll procrastinate less.

If procrastination is a problem for you, use your GPS. The process works.
