It's in human nature to procrastinate, and it's natural;
however, it is a bad habit to incorporate in your daily life. Your mind often
dozes off while thinking of a particular task that you need to do, and you
can't do it. A task that looks so huge that you can't put your mind and heart
to it, finish it, and be done with it, but you'd rather watch some Netflix
while eating a bowl of cereal on your bed.
Due to your procrastination, your to-do list may never get completed, and how could it if you become lazy all day and move that task to the next day or next week. News flash: that tomorrow or next week won't ever come, but your stress levels will rise. Moreover, because of that pending task that looks like a mammoth, you won't get the other smaller tasks done because of the depth of procrastination you have been sent into.
Dealing with procrastination is often connected with strong
will power and being more determined, but it is just about the technique of
doing that pivotal task. If you think that a task is gigantic for you to
overcome, then try breaking the task down into small tasks that you can easily
manage every day. This technique is much better than actual motivational
speeches about procrastination. It will help you finish that colossal task in a
few days as well as doing other small daily tasks. The satisfaction of ticking
off things from your to-do list will give you more motivation for daily
achievements.
Once you get going, it is human nature to finish that task
rather than leaving it incomplete. The techniques to deal with procrastination
can vary from person to person because of their distinct personality traits
like introversion or extroversion. You may want to set up a schedule for your
to-do list appropriately so that you can achieve these tasks with ease.
Take a look at the chart that will help you overcome
procrastination and getting that one big task done that you have been delaying
for a while.
