I went back into my past and pulled some experiences of severe procrastination in action (or is that inaction?) and wrote short excerpts expressing the feelings that went along with them. I then re-wrote them in the way that I would have preferred to have them turn out in my ideal world and noted in each what, in particular I changed for the better. I then merged all of the good points and wrote a script that covered all aspects touched upon in these short descriptions and added some feeling, and came up with the generalized version of my ideal non-procrastination story. I mentioned this briefly in a previous post
I have re-written this many times to tweak it to be my perfect story and have repeatedly read this to myself while visualizing the ideal model each sentence or thought represents somewhere around 100 times. Each time I look for anything that bothers me about the story and re-write whatever part that is to make it more ideal. Each time I do this I re-read it at least 20 times to be sure that it still rings true.
Here is my current Concentrated Unconscious Directive:
"I feel fully engaged as I plan and compile a list of the various tasks and steps involved in a new project. After noting which items that I need help with, or could easily delegate, I follow up promptly and accordingly. I feel enthusiastic as I begin the first task.
Using a very concentrated focus I effortlessly fly through the subtasks. I know with certainty that I will easily meet the due date as all of my interim target dates are being met.
I sit back after just completing the last task and let the warm feelings of accomplishment flow through me as I reflect upon the whole experience of executing the project, not only on time, but ahead of schedule.
Definitely a success and a 10 on my scale of desirability.
This is an example of the way I would like to approach, plan, execute and experience all of my projects, large and small.
Please make this happen in ways that are for the highest good of me and of all concerned."
I plan on reviewing this each day by reading it 20 times as being sure that it remains ideal. This seems to serve me in ways that has me unconsciously looking for ways to get going on projects on the go. It does not replace good planning and execution but it spurs me on to actually do some of it. The last bit is the directive part as it serves as an instruction to my unconscious to observe what I visualize as ideal, then I back it up by stating that this what I want to happen.
Jeff.
