How to Kill Your Procrastination
SUMMARY
Let’s discover what the definition of the word procrastination is. It looks so ugly, and most of the time, people don’t like this word but still can’t resist it. By definition: Procrastination means to put off doing something until a future time, especially to postpone such actions habitually.
I understand that you don’t like to procrastinate; this does not feel good at all. Just you can’t help yourself sometimes. Let me help you. Before you give up working on the new year goals that you set, let us find ways to kill your procrastination.
A lot of times, the big goals you have early of the year scare you off. You feel overwhelmed by all the big goals and tasks in front of you. This is what you can do, instead of viewing your goal as one big chunk of mission impossible. Divide and break up your goal into smaller, actionable tasks. Add one or two of the small tasks in your daily action plan to complete it one by one. For example: if your goals are to complete a 10 pages article. You can break it down into tasks like gather some information and resources, write an outline, draft the introduction, write the content and the conclusion, compile them, and final editing. That’s it!
Set a deadline for each of the small tasks that you just break them down. I know you don’t like the deadline. But it is a must. Because when you set a deadline, when you want to complete the task, you take action towards it. Create and commit a specific time to do the task. The easiest way is to block out a time each day for this to happen. Let’s say: every day at 9 pm, you block out every day at 9 pm to write that article. That’s your block out time. So many times, you delay and delay the task is because you don’t have the block out time and deadline.
The last point is super effective! Tell someone else you’re going to get the task done. Because the someone that you tell, they will check up on your progress. This will make you feel more compelled to complete it!
Here are the 3 ways to stop your procrastination. Your goals are important. You matter. Make that happen!
