Procrastination can be summed up as the pathological habit of putting off important things until tomorrow. Its worst consequence is a feeling of moral oppression, which is formed under the weight of unfinished business. So procrastination can and should be fought.
To let out
Formulate and write down all those thoughts that prevent you from fully functioning: fears, doubts, maybe reluctance to get down to business. It is important to get to the bottom of it and break down all mental barriers.
Analyze
Analyze obstacle thoughts. It is important to understand what causes them. By the way, most scientists are sure that procrastinators are very afraid of outside judgment. Isn't this the root of all evil for you too?
Give a promise
Once you've identified your reasons, make an agreement with yourself to end procrastination. Write a detailed plan for how, when and why you are working towards one goal. Small goals will not feel overwhelming to you, and tough deadlines will make you move and not be lazy.
Stop blaming
Forgive yourself for not doing some work in the past. What happened, what happened. Feelings of guilt act as a brake on the road to our future achievements, and in the fight against procrastination, this can be fatal.
No indulgences
Do not indulge yourself. Excuses like, “I do my best at the last moment,” are not scientifically motivated. What's more, scientists are convinced that when stressed, workers make many more mistakes. So do everything on time.
Start with the important
Smart procrastination is about putting off small things in the name of what's important, not the other way around. If you learn to prioritize, the problem of procrastination will resolve on its own.
