The clock… We are always working against time with days where we just need “one more hour in the day”. Scheduling your time perfectly is a desire most people have but very few complete. Much of the problem results in lack of focus.
Instead of what we are supposed to be working on we check social media, watch videos, clean, basically anything other than what needs to get done. Then we get really stressed out and panic as the deadline approaches. Procrastination.
Procrastination usually gets the best of people and they don’t see it coming. Don’t let it take over or get stuck in a continuous circle every time you need a task completed. These steps should give a few suggestions on how to tackle this battle we all seem to face.
• Break down your work – build out one project into multiple tasks. Each of your tasks will allow enough time to get something done without drowning you. With multiple tasks you can check things off your list giving you the feeling of accomplishment instead of the “I’m getting nowhere” attitude.
• Change your environment – Different environments have a different impact on your productivity. If you surround yourself with other people working hard you will be more likely to also work hard.
• Create a timeline – when you break your project into multiple tasks also create a timeline for each task ending resulting in the completion of the entire project
• Find a buddy – seeking out someone who is trying to accomplish the similar goals is great motivation to stay on track. You can hold each other accountable while also learning from one another.
Don’t overcomplicate things. It is essentially very simple; you must complete A to achieve B. Take action because no one can procrastinate his or her way to being successful. Get rid of your negative thoughts and remind yourself why you are doing this in the first place.
