How to Deal with Procrastination
1. Be honest with yourself and admit that you’re putting
off stuff that really needs to be done.
2. Try and figure out why you’re procrastinating. Is it
because you don’t like it, it creates anxiety, you don’t understand it, it
feels overwhelming, you’re disorganized …?
3. Decide to break the habit of procrastination by
deliberately rewarding yourself for doing something you’d rather not do.
4. Make a pact with a friend –where you deliberately and
regularly encourage each other, and hold each other accountable.
5. Sit down and
think – in detail – about all the likely consequences of not doing what needs
to be done. Be brutally honest, and try and picture what you’re life is going
to look like 6 months, a year and five years from now ( if you continue to
procrastinate).
6. Decide to break large tasks down into smaller, more
achievable tasks, and then tackle these smaller tasks one at a time.
7. Recognise your progress, and affirm and praise
yourself for making these changes – and doing things differently, even though
it’s hard.
