What are your techniques for avoid procrastinating ?

[JordanJP]

Hey

I'll admit it, whenever there's something that needs to be done, generally I tend to procrastinate a lot and put it off until the last minute.

I would like some opinions, how do you overcome your procrastination ?

For example today I would like to get one of my school assignments done, however I just feel lazy.

My assignment isn't due until the end of April

Any thoughts ?

Well, sometimes talks to myself try to make decided or not...Then i go straight in front of the mirror because i thought i was the best who could care much about it... i'm so horrified by what i have just seen, my arms fall off along my body and at the second look couldn't bear anymore that thing i just saw, trying to convice myself i'm SO sweet...Horror! i have seen Horror...

Well, Son you got a month to do your " school assignments "!!!

I just put off thinking about it....LOL.

Seriously I try not to procrastinate.

A friend of mine does, badly. He has various electrical and plumbing issues in his abode that have needed attention for 3 years now, to my knowledge, and he is still saying, "I'll do that soon".

I add the task that needs to be done on my phone and have it remind me every:

1hr if has to be done today
5hr next day
8hr next 2-5days
12hr next week
daily anytime after that

I heard about a procrastinator's club.

I'll look into joining it some day.




I have depression issues along with just normal procrastination, but I have found success very recently on a few things...

Just do whatever it is for a few minutes. then if you stop fine... Do another few minutes later in the day or in the morning.

For me, I have found that once I get started, I don't mind it, so I will keep going longer than I expected to.

Also, if you are feeling sluggish and lazy, perhaps better diet, or supplements, and some exercise will help as well. Plus, just getting something accomplished (even if only partially) makes you feel real good.

Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow.

Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow.

Because Tomorrow never comes, it's always Today

AT WORK:

Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow.

Never do today what you can delegate tomorrow.


AT HOME:

5hr next day
8hr next 2-5days

daily anytime after that

Angie, my dear wife adds the task that needs to be done on her notebook and reminds me every:

0.1 hr if has to be done today
0.5 hr next day
0.8 hr next 2-5days
1.2 hr next week
10 times daily anytime after that

I spend a lot of time ruminating about ways I can avoid procrastination...

I heard about a procrastinator's club.

I'll look into joining it some day.

The bad news is, they never got around to holding the first meeting.

The good news is, they never collected the dues either.

You either do or you don't. Some people are naturally lazy.

 

[KrullKitty]

Can I get back to you on that

Hi Jordon

Procrastination:

For me to ensure that I deal with things on time - is to set deadlines, within the time allotted, example: if required in 1 week – then I allow 4 days max, if 1 month the 3 weeks,

The small things i try and do straight away,

I'm not lazy. I just have this philosophical approach; is it really important to do this, now. Today. No... I'll think about it sometime later, if the situation has changed. Let's see then.

I do procrastinate sometimes, depending on what needs to be done.

If i like to do what need's to be done, will be done immedietly, if i don't chances are i'll put it off till i get harrassed about it, or when it needs to be done in the next 10 mins. >_<

 

[zezasu]

Start doing it in 10mins and don't think. Just do. Thinking about doing work never works. If I think about how much I want to do an assignment it leads to me not doing it at all. It doesn't help that my priority is to sleep if i feel like it. My crappy bed calls me to me to embrace it more than my gf at times.
