Procrastination: How to Stop the Habit

All of us, (every single one of us) is guilty of procrastination. This is a habit that each indulge into a couple of times in a day. While a ‘healthy dose’ of procrastination is fine, it is the extended, overdue duration of time that some of us dedicate to the habit that can cause trouble. But what is procrastination and how can we help ourselves? Well let us find out more:

What is Procrastination? 

Can be referred to as a form of self-indulgence, however Science has a rather fascinating definition of the same. Procrastination has been defined as an act of delaying or putting off an important (usually boring) task for later. So you see, most of us tend to do this quite often then we can imagine. While the actual act of procrastination is not a direct problem, however, this can lead to massive loss of productivity that can lead to us missing out on our targets. Most often, we tend to regret this as they say ‘time and tide waits for no man/woman’. So, to help you out, here are a few tips that you can follow in order to ‘better deal’ with the habit. 

Rewards

This is also known as temptation-building where you award yourself a ‘nice little gift or treat’ for accomplishing a short-term task. This way you will be tempted to complete a task, that you would rather put-off. 

The Consequences

Likewise, much like Rewards, one can also attach consequences to missing out on task. This could be either having a friend or a relation ‘scold’ you into commitment or having to give away some money to a charity you distaste. 

Designing the Future Actions

This loosely refers to the act of eliminating the temptations along your way to your goals. For example, if you find yourself procrastinating over the phone too often, then it is time to delete the apps you find yourself wasting time over. Likewise, switching off or turing into Silent mode of the phone is yet another way of assisting yourself to procrastinate less over the phone.

Making it Appealing

Not all tasks can be done at a single go. Also it is not an achievable feat when it comes to some very tiring yet important jobs that we need to get done. For this, you can ‘cut down’ or divide the task into smiler goals, that can be achieved ‘step-by-step’. This way your brain will perceive the task to be rather tiny as opposed to a ‘huge one’.

CONCLUSION

One of the best way to beat procrastination is to read some of the best books on procrastination. This way you can know about this issue and deal with it in a more effective way.
