What does it mean when a person keeps on delaying his work? He doesn't want to start his task. He finds it better to postpone.
What is procrastination?
Procrastination is the state of mind where people keeps on avoiding the work they might be doing at a certain deadline. People often compare procrastination with a mental disorder. But does it make sense?
For some people, it might be symptomatic of a psychological disorder. It is because procrastination has been linked with negative terms like low self-esteem, irrational behavior, and so on.
Why do people procrastinate?
- If they do not like the work.
- If they do not know where to start.
- If they do not like the person to work with.
- If the person fails to prioritize their task.
How to overcome it?
- Break your big task into small ones and start working on them.
Example: If you have the assignment to submit on Friday, break your assessment for each day. Do the introduction part on Sunday. Do next on Monday and so on. It makes your task look short and simple.
2. Use a timer.
Put your timer for 25 min and do not get distracted. Take 5 min break after working for 25 mins without any distraction.
3. Reward yourself
After completing your work, reward yourself with something you love. You can continue watching the series or take a nap but only after you accomplish your task.
Try these simple tricks to avoid procrastination.
