Learn how to live in the present by savoring the moment, Yuen suggests. This technique allows you to imagine a future time and look back to the present. For example, imagine it's Jan. 1, 1998. Look back to March 1997. Write down in the past tense what happened in March 1997.
Many people procrastinate because they are paralyzed by a looming deadline.
Using Randall's technique allows you to look at what was done rather than worry about trying to get ahead. If you are no longer stressing over the deadline, you will relax enough to move forward and actually tackle the task, Randall says. Now, visualize yourself playing these roles. This exercise should give you a better sense of your least and most important roles. When it comes to preferences, there aren't any rights or wrongs.
