The habit of postponing things for later is called procrastination, respectively, the people who got it - procrastinators. If you don't like deadlines, you never have time to get things done, and you write reports and materials over the last night, then you are one of those people. No, you are not a lazy person, but you are ready to do anything, just not important, and not right now.
How do people who like to procrastinate think?
Such a person is convinced that he will do everything much better and faster, if he is not limited by the time frame.
He wants to show his authority. Instead of submitting work on Thursday, he would prefer to bring it in on Friday.
Chooses momentary desire instead of long-term benefit. For example, he would rather go to watch a comedy than start preparing for the next conference.
Afraid of undertakings. He will not write a blog because he will think that he will be ridiculed or negatively appreciated. The procrastinator is so unprepared for difficulties that it is better to bypass the matter than to start simple. For example, he will read other people's blogs.
Thus, the procrastinator seems to postpone the negative for later. If everything is fine today, then you can sit back, and the reprimand is already tomorrow.
How can the problem be solved?
… Apps on your phone can easily handle this task. Just type in all the cases in the lists, and then send the most important ones to the leading positions. If there are too many urgent things to do, stop at three. It is better to perform several primary tasks with high quality.
Tell yourself that you will only work for 10 minutes, even if you have absolutely no desire. After the allotted time, take a break for 2 minutes. Have a coffee, reply to messages. Then, get to work again. After, again take such a break. Of course, this is not a highly effective approach, but it is quite acceptable to begin with. After an hour, you will notice that you have not done so little.
Some go to bed in the evening, while others like to work at night. Everyone has their “perfect time”. Define it for yourself and get down to business. The efficiency of the execution will surprise you.
If you have a case that you can't take on in any way, set a date for it. Mark it on the calendar and on the appointed day, deal exclusively with it. Set deadlines and mini-deadlines. Thus, it will be easier for you to control your work.
