How do YOU avoid procastination?

Question

Name your top THREE ways in which you avoid putting things off altogether, or to the last minute...These could be thoughts or actions that get you pumped up and focused on the task ahead...10 points for the best TOP 3! :)

Answer 1

I make a list of tasks that need to be done. Then I prioritize the list, from urgent to not so urgent.

I schedule the various tasks into my daily planner. I'm very specific about the day and time the tasks will get done.

I refer to my daily planner when planning the days activities, which include the pre-planned tasks. Then I carry out / complete the tasks.

Answer 2

G'day Patience,

Thanks for your question.

The best way of avoing procrastination is to:

1) develop a plan of attack for tackling the task:

2) putting time aside to tackle the task ie do the ironing on Sunday afternoon;

3) making sure I give myself a reward by doing something I want to do such as going out with a friend for dinner or coffee or a movie. Even watching a show you really like after hitting the books for a few hours can be a reward,

I have attached other ideas for your reference.

Regards

Answer 3

RIGHT IN THE BEGINNING WHEN YOU VOLUNTEER TO DO A TASK, YOU GET TO KNOW IN YOUR HEART THAT YOU ARE NOT GONNA DO IT. OR THE TASK IS NOT YOUR CUP OF TEA. SO..........
1. DO NOT GO OUT OF THE WAY TO TAKE A TASK WHICH IS NOT IN YOUR FIELD
2. IF THE TASK IS YOUR FIELD OF WORK AND YOU AREWELL VERSED IN THIS TASK, MAKE A DEADLINE TO HANDOVER THE ACCOMPLISHED TASK DEFINITELY BY WORKING ON IT AT THE DAILY BASIS SO THE PRESSURE AND BOREDOM DOES NOT FOLLOW. FOR THAT MAKE A PERIODIC CHART TO FINISH YOUR WORK.
3. IF THERE ARE DIFFICULTIES ASK THE HELP OF SOMEONE. IT WILL BE DONE WELL, AS 2 HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE.
BECAUSE PROCASTINATION IS THE THIEF OF TIME, DO NOT ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE ROBBED 0F TIME!

Answer 4

I am a terrible procrastinator...that is probably my biggest flaw. Three things I do to motivate myself is:

1)Take a quick shower...kind of wakes up my brain and gets me moving.
2)Think about the things that I can do once I complete my task that I might not be able to do if I didn't go ahead and do it.
3)Break the task up in smaller parts, that way I don't have to devote a long time to it, that way the task doesn't seem so overwhelming.

Good luck to you!
