YMS Episode 53 -- Procrastination (Part 2)

When we started as youth workers, we didn't have laptops or cell phones. We weren't distracted by text messages, emails and the latest news from our favorite sports team. But it wasn't all focus and productivity. Those floppy discs could be very distracting! 

It's part 2 or our Procrastination series. Last episode we talked about the causes and costs of procrastination. In this follow-up, we provide some cures (we hope). At least they'd if we'd only stop putting them off and implement them.

Plan week to week, day to day, and hour to hour. Plan the big picture. Prioritize tasks and block times. Stack meetings. Change environments. These are just a few of our ideas. Find what works for you.

Make the plan. Work the plan.
