3 Tips for you to overcome Procrastination easily.
Nowadays, social-media got us controlled and trapped into their atmosphere. Getting out of a comfort zone where focus leads and seeks new opportunities is sometimes hard. The feeling of dissatisfaction concerning our performance on studying and applying ideas into realities is pretty common, specially among students. That can lead to anxiety, stress and overall poor performance. Here are 3 tips for you to overcome procrastination and start developing your work skills.
1. Create mini-deadlines.
Parkinson’s Law states that if you leave an assignment to be completed for too long, the amount of work will expand and fill the time you have available to complete it. If you have a month to complete a certain task, its complexity will increase throughout that month and you will always leave it for the last day.
What you should do is create smaller daily tasks and set a time limit. And then you just start cutting the time limit for each task. You will end up finishing the whole assignment in really small daily tasks and most importantly it will be finished on time.
2. Trust your gut.
Constantly, we hesitate to start and actually perform on ideas, not only because of the fear of failing but rejection and self-doubt too. Numerous hours are used on researching and planning how to take action, but when the time finally comes to jump ship, we tend to stay on it and fail to follow through on our plan.
A lot of researchers defend that making snap judgements within seconds often leads to better final conclusions. Next time you aren’t sure of what to do next or how to seek the best pathway possible, try to trust your gut instinct and take action on the first thought that crosses your mind, because probably more times than not, you’ll probably end up on the right track.
3. Practice Quitting.
If you think about the concept of quitting something, you´ll probably give it a bad connotation. But contrary to what you and most people think, the most successful and productive people quit on their projects and goals all the time. But they know when to quit and what to quit. There are a lot of benefits in quitting something, you can repurpose your time and skills being wasted on a bad project or idea. And those skills will be redirected towards a more purposeful activity.You must be able to analyze your costs and benefits. And if the costs of your project outweigh the benefits, maybe it´s time to drop that project and carry on to something better.
