Symptoms of procrastination - Do you always rush to do things in a hurry?

Have you ever noticed that you are always rushing to do everything? Is it because the workload is heavy? Is it just because I am a typical deadline fighter, putting things off all day long and never starting to do them until the last minute? If you are the latter, then you are a procrastinator, please face this problem!

Procrastination will only make it harder to get the job done

Do you need to solve procrastination?

Some people may be thinking in their hearts: You don’t care whether I delay or not, I just have to do something before the deadline!

Indeed, in terms of results, if you really solve it before the deadline and ensure a certain quality, then of course there will be no problem. But based on experience, most people can’t do it. When I was in college, I believe many people were deadline fighters, putting off projects and review until the end. As a result, they often stayed up all night to do it in the final stage; or they delayed doing it at work, causing themselves to miss their boss. The deadline may require OT to deal with it, and the results obtained in this way will of course not be good. If it is done by a team of people, the teammates will have to wait for you to complete the work before they can continue to set a target. Because the habit of procrastination affects both others and ourselves, how pointless it is!

Procrastination brings temporary pleasure, but the consequences are serious

Let me introduce you to 4 magic weapons to solve procrastination!

1. Spin-off goals

Sometimes, we will break a big goal into smaller goals so that we can know our progress more accurately. Because a big task may take a long time to complete, Wangluo may feel that completing the task seems out of reach, or may feel discouraged. But when we try to divide our tasks into different small goals, we can judge our progress based on the number of completed goals, and we won’t feel like we can’t even do everything. By eliminating negative feelings, you can better push yourself to achieve different goals and reduce procrastination.

Several small goals are easier to handle than one big goal

2. Make a To do list

As mentioned above, we need to break a big goal into different smaller goals. After breaking down the different small goals, we need a To Do list to record the different small goals and follow up on them. . The purpose of doing this is firstly to be able to show in a clearer and more organized way what goals need to be completed, and secondly not to worry about omissions affecting the progress when splitting the goals.

To Do List can help you improve your mobility

3. Reward yourself appropriately

After you complete the small goals on the To Do list, reward yourself appropriately, which can help you complete the next goals. A rubber band cannot be stretched too tight, and the same applies to solving the problem of procrastination. If you push yourself too tight, it will be counterproductive and cause greater rebound. So don’t just give yourself some rewards after completing each small goal, such as taking a break to play games and eat desserts. As long as you don't indulge yourself, these small rewards for yourself can give you motivation to complete the next goal.

Sometimes you should reward yourself outside of work

4. Persistence

At the end of the day, the most important thing to solve procrastination is persistence. If you don't insist on letting go and constantly remind yourself that you can't put things off, even if you follow the above methods, you will soon make the same mistakes again. Therefore, everyone remembers to strengthen their minds and constantly remind themselves that today’s things must be done today and cannot be postponed until tomorrow. Develop this good habit to solve your procrastination problem!

The most important thing to solve procrastination is persistence

Summarize

If you have the characteristics of procrastination, remember to correct it. It will be of great help in your social life and future. Just think about it if you were working on a project in college, you wouldn’t want to meet a team member or subordinate who is a deadline fighter, right?
