| Top Tips to Stop Procrastinating: Part of my job as a Professional Organizer is to help people with time management issues. The most common question I receive is regarding procrastination. 1. Break it down – Often times we don’t start a project because it is too overwhelming. If you have a large project, break it down into sections of what to do. This is less stressful and allows us to feel like we have accomplished something after a short period of time. 2. Start with the worst – Most of the time, nothing is as bad as we imagine. Make a master list of what you are procrastinating on right now. Now, put them in order of what you dread the most. Start with that task. Get the worst over with it. The rest will seem like a breeze! 3. Stop the busy work – It makes us “feel” better to always be busy doing something. We feel like we are moving forward. However, if all we’re doing is busywork, we are not only wasting our time, we are delaying tasks that actually need to get done now. 4. Categorize – Create an Action file. Make a list of tasks that need to be done within the next 48 hours. Place this list in your action folder. Create a short-term project folder and long-term project folder. Separate your tasks by when they need to be done. 5. No time like the present – Stop reading this Blog and get back to work! Everyone procrastinates. Everyone in some way procrastinates. The real danger in letting procrastination get out of control is that it can very easily take over your life and stop you from achieving your goals. Put a procrastination motivation plan into place and move forward! |
