How to overcome yourself from postponing accomplishing tasks(procrastination).
I can call it a “disease” which has infected many people in the world today. And it is the habit of putting off tasks to the last minute and has costed major problems both in personally and career wise. We have missed many good things in life because of procrastination. What are some of the causes of procrastinating and how can we overcome it.
Our mode of reality- the way we have conditioned our mind to function is major obstacle to us procrastination and since you feel that whatever you have to do seems a forced one. You might want to postpone, so that you can do it later since you don’t see any reason to do it. By reasoning in you head, you come with excuses that is associated to what you want to do. You will think that negatively about the tasks for example someone might come up with an idea of starting a business. Then immediately think of the consequences like, what if the business fails, do I have enough money to start the business or what if my friends don’t agree with me. For sure you have not even started the business but here you are contemplating negative thoughts in your head, why cant you accommodate positive thoughts for having the business flourishing and bringing you a lot of cash, many of your friends admiring you, having the freedom of being your own boss. Because of the response of the thoughts we have, we find many times will determine of us not starting something and hence procrastination. Associate the tasks with positive benefits and you would have overcome procrastination.
Another cause of procrastinating is having thoughts about the steps you can take to complete the whole thing. When you think of finishing the whole thing at ago, you are creating a feeling of overwhelm in you. Since you can’t understand how you will finish the thing it will make you keep on putting off to gather for more information and than start it. The suggestion is that you break down the task into small pieces ,instead of thinking to finish that you must finish the whole thing
If you really understand this your life will change dramatically.
