Often procrastination is confused with laziness, which is not true. It It’s more a misguided sense of activity based on a low tolerance for frustration and failure. When people perceive a higher challenge than they feel capable of, they sidestep the discomfort through diversion which creates an illusion of protection but in real they may find themselves stuck. Here are 5 Ways to Stop Procrastinating
1. START THE DAY WITH THE TASK YOU FIND THE TOUGHEST Do the most challenging and difficult-to-do item on your list before anything else, and you will have checked it
2. GET TASKS ON YOUR CALENDAR Manage your time, set a timer so you can be focused for the entire allotted time.
3. THINK! DOES CATASTROPHIZING REALLY TAKE YOU ANYWHERE? Many people procrastinate because they catastrophize and make a big deal out of something. The reality is that challenges or even difficult tasks are not death sentences but they require hard work.
4. REWARD YOURSELF Celebrating a small win give you a sense of motivation to move onto the other.
5. NOT ALL PROCRASTINATION IS NEGATIVE Adam Grant suggests that procrastination can serve a useful purpose too as it allows you to consider exploring different ideas, improvise on your thoughts and then come back to the task at hand.
