Here's how you can beat procrastination and excel in your public speaking duties.

To tackle procrastination and shine in public speaking, start by setting clear, bite-sized goals. Break things down into smaller tasks—like researching your topic, outlining your speech, and practicing your delivery. Create a schedule with dedicated time slots for each task and treat them like important appointments. Share your goals with a friend or join a speaking group for that extra push. Don’t forget to visualize yourself nailing that speech and use positive affirmations to keep your confidence up. Lastly, reward yourself for hitting those milestones to stay motivated and celebrate your progress.

Embrace the Atomic Habit Mindset. Select one skill, and one skill only that I want to work on the next time I will go on stage. One of the problems we have as speaker is that we try to improve too many things at the same time which result in either low improvement, or a lot of stress. By leaning into the habits of improving just one aspect time you will see your performance improve in no time at all.

To beat procrastination and nail your public speaking gigs, start by figuring out exactly what you want to achieve and break it down into smaller, doable steps. Set up a timeline with deadlines for each task and carve out regular practice time in a space free from distractions. Try the two-minute rule—just commit to working for two minutes on something tough; you'll often find it easier to keep going. Don’t hesitate to share your goals with a friend for some accountability or post about them online to keep yourself in check. And after each practice, take a moment to celebrate your progress. With a little planning and a proactive mindset, you’ll boost your speaking skills and really connect with your audience.

Start by jotting down everything you need to do and sorting them into urgent and important tasks. Set clear, achievable goals for each task and block out specific times in your calendar to tackle them. Break down bigger tasks into bite-sized pieces so they don’t feel overwhelming. Team up with a friend or join a supportive group to keep each other motivated. Make sure your workspace is distraction-free and communicate when you need focused time. Check in on your progress regularly and adjust your priorities if needed. And don’t forget to celebrate your small wins—they’ll keep you motivated to make a real impact with your speeches.

Remember these sayings: "Procrastination is a thief of time." "Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today." Don't be lazy to push yourself to do what is so important but you most dislike. One very effective way is to use the analogy of "eat your frog" by Brian Tracy. If you can eat all those frogs first thing in the morning (stuff you most dislike but are very important) then you will be able to enjoy the rest of your day. If you dislike researching on the topic which you will be speaking on, you can't just wing that! That's your ugliest frog to eat! Find the time to do this most important task. Remove tasks which are unimportant & irrelevant. This frees up precious time (stolen by your procrastination!) for your research.

Lo que ayuda mucho es practicar hablando sobre lo que sabes hacer bien o sobre algo que te gusta mucho (cocinar, dibujar, etc.) que a medida que se va compartiendo con distintas personas en conversaciones simples se va desarrollando la actitud de expresar algo conocido.

I stated in atomic habits, reduce friction between you and the rehearsal. For instance, I often leave my script on the table so I can glance at it when I have five minutes and it reminds me that there is this speech coming up, and I should rehearse.

One thing that beats procrastination is to add commitment and deadlines. Bring two friends and set a date for you to give them your speech as a rehearsal. That way you have to get ready for that time. The idea I’m having two friends instead of one is for it to be more difficult to postpone as you have to find a Comment time for the three of you, I found out that postponing one single friend is much easier than two .
