Everyone has some inertia at one time or another, but when it develops into procrastination you should treat it seriously. Here are some ways to change procrastination as shared by a psychologist.
What to do if you suffer from procrastination?
1. Correct the understanding. Procrastination does not make problems go away or become easier, it only brings more serious harm. Why avoid reality and invite painful suffering instead? Successful people never procrastinate.
2. Don’t relent. Even if it is forced to do, there is no room for negotiation and retreat a hint of “bargaining, discount” room. Just like the troops, that is, “to ensure the completion of the task”, firmly have to be implemented without consideration. When you can discipline yourself to do so for a long time, you will develop a strong and powerful habit, in a pinch or when the opportunity will be “immediately grasp”. At the same time, doing what you want to do can change a person’s attitude from negative to positive, turning what might have been a bad day into a good one.
Begin with what you don’t want to do but have to do first, and try to break down the difficulties for the hard things, and for the things that are hard to decide, make the decision now, because the worst decision is no decision at all.
3. Keep going. As long as you keep going and doing the normal things, you can always get it done and done well. A hundred pounds, or even thousands of kilograms of peanut kernels, we did not see how to produce – that is each one is peeled from the hands. That’s the product of persistence and perseverance.
4. Cherish the moment. Have the idea of uniqueness. How much of the past can not replace the present; how much of the future can not make up for the present. The “moment” is unique, do not expect to miss it can be made up. The idea of “this will be done later” and “this will be done tomorrow” has to be removed.
5. Concentrate. Talk about efficiency, just like there is a size of force when physical labor, the amount of effort and energy put into it has to do with concentrating on giving your mind. Things are working out, there is no free dinner, free breakfast, lunch will not have the same. The speculative fluke thing is ridiculous.
6. Get started now! The goal is clear and well organized. After allocating time, there is no hesitation to do it directly, quickly and immediately. The root of the disease of procrastination is most of all the delay in doing it, boredom, fear, self-satisfaction, excuses, excuses, and time delay 。。。。。。 The time and energy used up in this procrastination is enough to get today’s work done. So, it is actually very uneconomical to put off today’s work until tomorrow. You know, one more minute of procrastination makes the work harder to do.
7. Do it thoroughly. Do it in one step if you can, and don’t leave a little for later. The habit of procrastination is more excuses, it will be accompanied by a tiger’s head, the beginning if not dragging, near the end, and lazy. Everyone can resolve to do great things, but only a few can consistently carry out his resolve, and only these few are the last to succeed.
8. Take the time. It is an obvious fact that there is almost no better way to get things done than to take time. But procrastinators often subconsciously self-congratulate: anyway, always do a good job. There’s still time, it’s okay.
9. Do it one thing at a time. Greedy for more and impatient, the result is not getting one thing done, all you get is frustration and a natural fear of procrastination. After doing a good one, the heart has a sense of accomplishment, and feel good and have fun doing things. Don’t look back at the road, but also just look at the road under your feet. There’s no benefit to looking too far ahead after you’ve decided. You can create a plan of action, listing each small step that needs to be taken. Start doing something about it, even if it’s small, even if it’s only for 5 minutes, just doing it is a good start and will drive you to do more things more easily. Break down your goals, set deadlines, and check in and push yourself in a timely manner.
10. Commit to doing it. Focus, avoid distractions, and do the task at hand first, except in emergencies. Otherwise, there is no more planning and scheduling. More never do irrelevant and meaningless things. The bad habits of procrastinators include the habit of doing things randomly and undisciplinedly, so they lose track of what they are doing, and when they do it, they leave what they are doing and don’t even realize what they are doing. In a blur, the time has passed.
