HOW TO GET OUT OF THE PROCRATINATION HABIT

 

Procrastination may be:

     self-doubt 
     self-made 
     fear of success 
     indecision 
     disorganization 
     inadequate information 
     a habit

 
Temporary advantages of procrastination include:

     satisfying the need to escape 
     maintaining the status-quo – avoids new
       responsibilities
     a great excuse for a poor performance 
     reducing time on unpleasant projects 
     not doing something unpleasant

 
How can procrastination stop?

1. Take care of yourself
       a. you cannot complete a difficult project if you are
           physically or mentally exhausted
       b. keep fit; improve your life-style
       c. work harder at fulfilling your sense of worth
2. Change the way you think
       a. learn to accept change
       b. believe you can (and will) change
       c. tell yourself that there is no time like the present
           to begin a task
       d. begin to design clear goals
       e. set your priorities
3. Break a bad habit with a good habit
       a. you must act differently to be different
       b. begin to break your big projects into smaller and
           more manageable parts
       c. reward yourself
       d. avoid stressful last-minute-itis

 

Remember:

     procrastination is learned early 
     it may difficult to stop; practice repetition,
       reinforcement and reward
     ask yourself, 'Am I cutting off my nose to spite my
       face?' 
     rebelling against structure cuts off avenues of
       growth
     give yourself a pep-talk when needed 
     if you see yourself procrastinating – say it out loud 
     continue to stress the benefits of not procrastinating 
     don't dwell on how dreary/overwhelming the task
       may be
     set deadlines (prior to the real deadline) 
     when you start to procrastinate ask yourself if the
       project will go away and what price will you pay
       for the delay

NOW is a good time to get started. Good luck!!
