Stop Procrastinating

Have you ever thought “I must be the only one who procrastinates like this?”… Well, we have news for you - you’re not alone. Did you know that one in five people have a chronic procrastination problem? Did you also know that a great majority of the population want to overcome their procrastinating tendencies?

You know that procrastination can have serious consequences. Missed deadlines can hurt your reputation, prevent you from getting promoted, or even damage the reputation of your organization. Additionally, getting in just-under-the-wire could put unnecessary pressure on your co-workers.

Ignoring a dead lightbulb for days on end isn't necessarily a big deal at home. However, if you keep putting off repairs and other chores you have promised to do, that can erode the trust of loved ones. In addition to feeling constant pressure, chronic procrastination can also trigger anxiety and stress.

If you’ve tried to stop procrastinating in the past, you know—it’s not easy.Good intentions can be sabotaged by distractions, perfectionism, overbooked schedules, a fear of messing up, or just distaste for the job.

And if you’ve already been procrastinating on your project, new distractions amplify the guilt and frustration. They quash momentum and slow progress to a death crawl.

You might be surprised to learn, however, that our brains are actually designed for distraction.

Procrastination has ancient origins.

Our brains evolved to zero in on “clear and present danger” via the well-known fight-or-flight response to a threat. But in the absence of an immediate physical threat to our lives, our brains are easily distracted. That’s why when you sit down to do your taxes, your attention wanders with every passing noise, thought, or physical sensation.

But don’t despair, there is a way out.

Once you’re aware of this tendency, you can learn how to overcome distractions, so you can stay on track to meet your goals and most importantly, relieve that horrible burden that you’ve been living with.

The key to getting things done isn’t waiting for motivation to magically strike at the 11th hour before the next deadline. It’s knowing how to safeguard against distraction.

It may sound too good to be true but it’s not..

Studies also show that procrastination stems from our unrealistic expectations about a task. We tend to be either overly optimistic (“I have plenty of time! What could possibly go wrong?”) or defeatist (“I’ll never get it right, so why try?”).

You're better equipped to overcome ever-present distractions when you balance optimism with pessimism, since optimism aids you in starting a task and pessimism assists in staying focused.

Thus, by balancing your motivation with a splash of pessimism, you can accomplish goals and realize your dreams.

Once you learn how to balance your motivation with your pessimism, instead of feeling the constant stress, guilt and frustration of not being prepared for a deadline…or the embarrassment and consequences of actually missing a deadline…You can start tasks and projects with greater ease and motivation and keep your momentum going right through to completion.
