There are many more disadvantages of procrastinating but I hope few I’ve listed above have helped you realize it’s time to break habit.

If they have, that’s good. I have put together my top five tips for overcoming procrastination below. Read them, and put them into practice. Remember, one sure fire way to change a habit is by replacing it with another habit.

TOP FIVE TIPS FOR OVERCOMING PROCRASTINATION FOR GOOD!!

1.Do your least favourite tasks first. Get them over and done with, and then subsequent tasks will seem more enjoyable.

2.Decide to ‘Do It Now’! Let that be your mantra, then go ahead and DO IT NOW!!

3.Think of 5 benefits of doing it now. Here are some: ·You get more time to do other things. ·You get an increased sense of accomplishment, which leads to greater self-esteem. You feel very good about yourself. ·You don’t feel stuck because you’re getting things done: you feel free to move onto other tasks. ·You can concentrate on other tasks, so you are able to do them better. ·You reach your goals faster.

4.Keep a record of your progress. This will motivate and encourage you to continue habit of doing things now.

5.Break down each task into smaller, easily manageable chunks. Then apply items 1 to 4 above to each chunk.

10. No fingerprints, rogue pen marks or coffee stains.

11. Keep paper clean and crisp.

12. Avoid italics and underlining, which are not good for scanning resumes onto databases.

13. Again use bullet points sparingly. Note that optical software is not efficient for scanning bullet points.

14. Keep paragraphs short.

15. Mix long and short sentences.

16. Make use of white space. Try and keep 3 carriage returns between sections. Allow for some breathing room between different sections. :-)

17. Either post or email your resume. Only fax as a last resort. Apart from not being confidential, fax quality is usually poor and paper quality on receiving end may not be best. Keep control of your application.

18. Should I align headings to "centre", "left" or "right?" Well it's completely up to you. Most resumes align headers to left or centre, which is generally accepted.
