“A day can really slip by when you're deliberately avoiding what you're supposed to do.”― Bill Watterson
Let’s face it, we’re all guilty of a bit of procrastination from time to time. Say there’s a specific job or task you need to get done. How often do you find yourself putting it off? How long will you leave it until you can’t avoid it any longer? What will you start working on, instead of the more urgent job?
But once you get started, how often have you found that the job you spent hours putting off has taken you no longer than 5 minutes to complete?
Everyone (including myself!) procrastinates at one time or another, delaying a task or action, even though we know we’ll be the worse off for that delay! It’s a problem that I think probably everybody has to deal with at one point or another.
I like the three-minute rule, starting the task, but telling myself that I can stop after three minutes. The reality is that at the end of those three minutes I usually just carry on with it: sometimes simply starting the task is enough to get you going!

So this week I’m sharing a few of my top tips, advice that I’ve found works well for me.

How an INVESTOR MINDSET changes everything
In this video I dive into 3 different financial mindsets that I believe exist around risk tolerance and outcome expectations - employee, investor and entrepreneur. At one end of the risk spectrum is the employee and at the opposite end is the entrepreneur, but the optimum investor mindset lies somewhere in between.
