Tomorrow is always tomorrow. And today is always today. By putting things off that you know should get done you're leaving yourself open to put if off again. Procrastination only keeps you stuck and prevents you from moving forward with your goals.

Some people who procrastinate are perfectionists. They have to have perfect mood, perfect atmosphere and perfect whatever to get anything done. The problem with that is they spend more time waiting for perfect conditions than getting anything done.

Instead of waiting for perfect time, how about just doing it now so that it gets done? What can you do today to get closer to your goals? What little steps can you make that can help move you closer to your goals? A way to help with procrastination is to pick about three things that you can do daily that can help you stay focused on your goals.

1. Give your time.

Volunteer for organizations that work with people in need. Many people are hesitant to volunteer because they fear that time commitment will be overwhelming. However, most organizations are happy to accept any help, maybe even a small specific job or assistance with one specific project.

2. Be consistent with your plan for giving.

There is a great need for many charitable organizations during holiday season. However, need escalates after holidays because donations stop almost completely for several weeks after Christmas. Spread your plan for making charitable donations out throughout year.

3. Consider donating items.

Many people don't donate money because they either don't have cash to spare or they feel distrust of organizations collecting donations fearing that money won't reach those in need. Consider donating actual items, like sleeping bags, coats, or blankets to homeless during cold months. Providing items like those to direct service organizations insures that they will reach those in need. Everyone has things like that around house.

4. Use your expertise to help train staff in nonprofit organizations.

Nonprofits run on a shoe string. Most of them cannot afford to train their staff as well as they would like. Whatever your specialty might be, considering doing a free training seminar or session with staff of a nonprofit. This gives you an opportunity to give back while at same time enriching people who work hard to help others.

5. Get educated.
