I am a big procrastinator. I usually do everything ten minutes before the deadline, when I am completely rushed, and hate myself for having procrastinated too long, but then I do the same thing again next time.
I have several tools how to manage this, wondering if anyone has something helpful too?
Mine is:
1. "everything horrible only takes like 10 minutes" i often realize that the worst part of having to do something is the first part of it. and that i often over estimate the time needed for things. so i try to remind myself that its not going to take so long and i can certainly do ten minutes of whatever boring thing i dont wanna do. this helps a lot.
2. i reward my self by procrastinating before, during and after, but limit it to only a few tasks. like :i will check the imdb board and then go do the thing: and I will limit myself and not do more than i tell myself.
3. i go by the "dont be a c-nt rule. when i am really failing all my rules and about to miss my goals or about to do something stupid i tell myself "dont be a c-nt"" (to yourself and sabotage yourself) and I will actually say it out loud. A few times. Somehow the level of the crassness of it and saying it out loud helps.
What do you do to manage procrastination? any helpful tips?
PS - I created this thread to postpone having to work….

I simply push myself to do something if I suffer from procrastination.

If you procrastinated procrastination, you’d get everything done on time.

try:
telling yourself it MUST be done by Wednesday if it really must be done by Thursday ... do this often enough and it becomes a habit <which is what procrastinations is in the first place>.

Cell phone, computers, and tv off Don’t smoke weed Don’t eat anything heavy Down a coffee or take a caffeine pill Have a plan or make a list. Something you can visualize that helps you organize your task from A to Z Put on eye of the tiger Lace Up your Nikes Get to work Or you could do it the easy way like most college students and load up on adderal |

Yes, but oddly enough, I am the embodiment of procrastination.

You've very nearly honed directly in on the key to a procrastinator's philosophy, so well articulated by Kevin Bacon as Val in 1990's Tremors: "See, we plan ahead. That way we don't do anything right now."As for procrastination itself, I embrace it. I like it, it likes me, and we're quite a harmonious pair. |
