A worst-case scenario is that your procrastination and lack of motivation may carry over to other members of your family, resulting in absolutely nothing being done.

All disorganization and clutter in your home will most likely result in chaos and disarray to point you have no clean clothes to wear and can't find your books or briefcase.

However, all is not lost because you can learn how to overcome procrastination at home by following a few simple suggestions...

1. Make a list of tasks that must be done daily, weekly, monthly and so on. Then think about how each task can be simplified.

For example, first thing you normally do when you get home is change into comfortable clothing.

You can eliminate one task right here by hanging up your clothes when you take them off instead of waiting until bedtime, when you most likely will throw them over back of a chair.

2. Once you have made your task list, prioritize each list.

It could go something like this:

(1) talk and listen to your children and/or spouse to learn about their day;

(2) get dinner started (you already know what cook because previously you made menus and shopped for food;

(3) make some time to talk to family members while dinner is cooking;

(4) immediately after dinner clear table and load dishwasher instead of waiting;

No matter how many years you spend in a classroom or from what social class or lifestyle, motivation is common factor among those who are high achievers.

Finding tools to put meaning and purpose in your life, developing a vision, and becoming highly motivated can lead you towards a successful and exciting life.

Here are 12 motivational tools that can bring you success:

1. Recognizing obstacles and learning to remove them can make your vision a reality. The individual who is extremely motivated and successful has been motivated by a vision.

2. The quest for freedom is basis for motivation. Total freedom is not necessarily desirable or possible, but pursuit of that ideal is what motivates us to succeed.

3. People who develop a vision control their own life and destiny. With no vision, your life and destiny are controlled by outside forces.

You must change your thinking habits in order to change your life, and you change your habits by keeping desired results in sight.

4. Develop a major goal, but take a specified path to get there. You'll have many smaller goals to reach before you get to final result.

By learning to accomplish these smaller goals, you'll be motivated to take on larger challenges.

5. Get into habit of finishing what you start. An unfinished project is of no value. Leaving things unfinished is a habit that must be changed.

6. Find support through friends, acquaintances, and co-workers. If you surround yourself with motivated, visionary people you will naturally develop attributes that helped them get that way.

Mutual interests and like-minded associates can be excellent motivational tools.
