Strategies For Overcoming Procrastination |
The first month has gone by f0r 2020, and have you achieved a percentage of your tasks leading to your project completion in achieving your 2020 goals? Procrastination is the opposite of productivity. If you want to be productive, you need to stop procastinating. In here, I will share with you my Strategies for overcoming procrastination and hopefully this year will be a fruitful and productive one for you.
1. List down the things that you need to do.
If you are like me, you can be starting your day without a list with a lot of things to do and needed to finish. Listing down things that you need to do could help you see things more clearly and organize your system better. List down the things that you think you have put on hold.
2. With your list up, do one thing right now!
Instead of making excuses, tick off one thing that you can do right now. Execution removes excuses and action eliminates anxiety. As Nike says, Just do it!
3. Set a time TODAY to do things on your list.
With one thing ticked off from your list, it could set you on a roll. Put a deadline on each of your list. A dream without a deadline is just a fantasy, so make sure that you put a deadline on each one. And remember that once you have placed a deadline on it, that you respect your schedule.
4. Stop being a perfectionist.
Remember that there is no such thing as perfect and this could free you up some slack to actually doing things right now. At times, we wait for the perfect moment, the perfect time and the perfect mindset. But as Anna sung in Frozen, just do the next right thing! Sometimes just one step forward is better than no steps taken at all.
5. Have a vision of what it would look like after you have done what you are delaying.
Accomplishing your tasks would give you a boost of energy and sense of fulfillment!
