Are you struggling with procrastination ?

Procrastination affects 20% of people chronically avoid difficult tasks and deliberately look for distractions. This reflects our perennial struggle with self-control as well as our inability to accurately predict how we'll feel tomorrow, or the next day. Many procrastinators claim that they perform better under pressure, but most often that is their way of justifying putting things off. 

Having a hard time managing the oodles and oodles of things you need to do? Here's help:

Realize you'll feel better if you get more done

Many people don't think that it will matter if they try to manage their time better. You will end up feeling better and accomplished of you take some proverbial baby steps, you don't have to do and change everything at once. If you don't know how to break a task down into baby steps, or you hit a roadblock, as someone for help. Don't be embarrassed: everyone needs help and the person will probably feel good about being able to help you. 

Now ask yourself: "What should I get done?" 

Be time-conscious 

Try your best to come and accept that time is your most valuable possession. Making the most of your limited amount of heartbeats is central to having a life well-led. That doesn't mean trying to have as much fun as possible. Your time on earth would be less worth while of you spent your time on sex, drugs, and rock n' roll, than that of someone who was more productive and improved the lives of others.

Be time-effective

You could be time-conscious and still get far less done than you want or should. Ask yourself, "What's the most time-effective way to do this?". Not the best, easiest or fastest way, but the most time-effective way. 

Also try;

Consiously decide if you want to pursue a major time suck 

Ask yourself if a major time suck is a better use of your time than what you could otherwise do. 

Delegate

For tasks you dislike or are simply bad at, consider delegating or even hiring someone to do them. Even people of modest means may find that hiring an assistant at $15 an hour for five hours a week can be well worth the $75. 

Always have a "sponge activity" at the ready

We spend a great abundance of time commuting on buses or trains, standing in supermarket likes, or sitting in waiting rooms. Having something productive to do can help you get more done and make the waiting time to more quickly. "Sponge" up that time by reading a book, answering an email or doing internet research on your phone.  

    As we approach the end of the school year, tons and tons of students are suffering from procrastination. Students proceastinate end of term papers, projects and last minute extra credit! Procrastination comes along when a person didn't do what they needed to at the approopriate time, so now they're playing catch up in order to pass the class. Students need to work on their study and organization skills to avoid further suffering of procrastination. Not only students procrastinate, adults are just as guilty of doing so! They put off things they know they have to do, but wait till the last minute to do those things.  One of my closest friends takes first place in procrastination! She will waiting until 5 days before it's due, to do a  book report. My mom is also a bad procrastinator, I'll remind her of things we need to get done or do and she'll tell me, "I know, I'll do it after I do _____" -then it usually doesn't get done until me or someone else does it. Everyone has their moments of feeling lazy, but professional procrastinators are hard to break!
