Different Ways to beat procrastination |
Every day that we go to work we have overcome procrastination, we have so much problems in our life and distractions that use them as a way to avoid doing the real work. If we dont focus on accomplishing our daily tasks we are not going to achieve anything in life, people who procrastinate are sabotaging themselves and dont have a strong motivation.
Every day when you wake up ask your self, what do i want to accomplish today?, how is that going to get me closer to my goals? You can not just go around in life doing work just because you have to, that way you will procrastinate. You need to set a life plan, an annual plan, a monthly plan and even a daily plan.
The reason to have a plan is simple, if you dont have a clear vision of what you have to accomplish on a daily basis to achieve your goals, you will not have a strong motivation and will not see doing simple tasks as something important and you will procrastinate.
Think of the different ways to beat procrastination that you can use. For example, set at what time you are going to begin your task and write down what you need to have in place to before you begin your task. Do anything that you have to do before the time to doing the task comes. But when the time comes, forget about anything else and just do it, dont look for excuses, dont think of what if or why not, just do it.
Once you have finished your task you can correct errors and verify it. But dont stop until you have finished, go to the bathroom before you begin your work, focus is the key to success.
If you start procrastinating and thinking of the next thing you need to do, the many other things you have to do, the calls you need to do, stop it. You can think of multiple other thinks you can do before doing your work, but here is the point, if you dont begin right now you will not accomplish anything.
Lock your self in a room, shot the door and disconnect the telephone or cell phone, dont even check your email, just do your task, once you have finished your task, take a little rest and if you want check your email or do a phone call, but dont spend a lot of time on it, its just a little rest and then begin again to the next task until is finished.
You can even divide your tasks in periods of 15 or 20 minutes. For example, set your clock alarm to ring every 20 minutes, you are going to work non stop for 20 minutes you will just focus on the task. Then note how much you have accomplish, take a breath or a 5 minute break and begin you next 20 minute session.
JThis way you will avoid procrastination and more forward every day no matter what. The more you do these exercises, the more easy will be to overcome procrastination.
