HOW CAN WE OVERCOME PROCRASTINATION?
Procrastination is a disease preventing so many people around the world from achieving things they wanted in life. Procrastination is the habit of putting tasks to the last minutes hoping there will be time for you to finish, it has been a major problem in both our career and our personal life. We normally find ourselves feeling stressed, full of resentment and guilt and this will only be symptoms of procrastinating things in our lives.
The cause of procrastination can normally be attributed with the association we create to it such as the feeling pain by doing something or feeling unpleasantness to the task you want to do. To overcome this, I can suggest that you reward yourself after finishing a task,so that wherever you think of finishing a task you remember that I am going to buy myself lunch and you will feel motivated to continue rather than feeling like postponing to another hour or day.
Sometime I will suggest that you take a full day off each week with no work and this idea I got it from the creation in the Bible whereby, God rested the seventh day after creating the world, and you will feel recharged and eager to start the following week. You will feel motivated and less likely to procrastinate having guaranteed yourself a day off.
The way we look at tasks can make as feel to procrastinate for example, and if you think that something have to be done. The mind will take as something you are forced to do and would want to put if off until the later date. If you know something is pleasing and it is the one you want to do, you will not have the opportunity of feeling to procrastinate it, therefore let us think that whatever we are scheduled to do is something we want to do rather than must have to do.
There are other people who really feel that they must finish a task and normally cant even clearly see all the steps that will lead to completion, what happens is that you will feel overwhelmed with that idea of finishing, but if you think of moving a step per step you will be able to finish a task and wonder whether it was you. For example if you want to start a business, you plan and even see the way towards it but cannot understand how you will get customers will make you want to procrastinate a lot, because you don’t want to fail and feeling failure will make one to procrastinate a lot.
If you just kick off in a small way maybe like creating a website which can’t cost you anything to make rather than registering a domain. Before long you would learnt a lot compared to a person who is waiting for condition to be favorable then begin. I hope we have learnt some ideas on how to overcome procrastination.
