It is difficult for people to give up their own pain. Afraid of what is unknown, they like the pain of familiarity. - Tight Nhat Han
I have delayed procrastination for at least the last few years. I am going to place things before the deadline because I know that I can pass. After the last minute passed the test and when the last hour passed, I completed the article before the deadline.
Until I did not. After all, due to the delay I missed the deadline over and over again. That emphasizes me. The last work I did last was not that satisfying. Slowly, I began to notice that the delay did not give me any benefit. In fact, it brought me a lot of sorrow
But I can not give up. I tried a lot of things. I tried to complete time boxing, goal setting and accountability, and Pomodoro techniques and tasks. All there is no problem, but I will last long. In the long term, nothing functions actually.
When I stop smoking, please let me go first. I have to use a cane to stop 'necessary' smoking and deal with stress and problems
Then I learned that I need to give up other erroneous needs that caused my problems: sugar, junk food, meat, shopping, beer, wealth. If I give up these needs, I am not saying that I will never do these things again, but I will let go of the idea that they really need. I will let go of their unhealthy attachment to them.
Then I learned about distraction and the need to check my email and news on the web and other content ... these are my problems. They caused my delay
Later, I noticed the pain they brought to me, not only the temporary comfort / joy they gave to me.
I thought about the person I wanted, the life I want. My intention is to do a good job that I think should do.
I strongly wanted to check things so as not to distract. I wanted to avoid something unbearable and get something easy and familiar.
I noticed that such comfort is not necessary. I may feel uncomfortable and not bad. In fact, the best thing happens when I feel sick.
Yes, you are not wrong. Procrastination is a pioneer of creativity, a provider of insight. This is usually the difference between success and mediocrity. If I had never learned to delay, in fact it would not be me today if I would change the delay to an artistic form. The delay may be due to my doctor's degree. I became an officer of Google late. This is why procrastination uses the word "Distinguished" for Microsoft's title. Procrastination is not just bad. This is the most underestimated contemporary professional skill, either not accepting it, or worse, working hard for yourself, spending time and making more difficult climbing. The modern world is not suitable for excess preparation or careful organization. Before you finish preparing, you think that the world you are preparing will be something else. The work you are so engrossed is not important until it is fully organized.
Procrastination is a common problem for adult learners, procrastination is effective time management. Learning to stop procrastination is an important step in learning and implementing time management. Time management includes methods for efficient prioritization of tasks, creation of lists, maintenance of realistic expectations, and prevention of delays. In order to understand time management, adult learners must first decide how they spend their time. According to Jan Farrington, author of How To Manage Your Time (1995), the first step in learning time management is to find the time you have spent. This includes logging each activity for one week every hour. In this exercise, we will clarify the time spent on each event and the number of days and days of the week dedicated to a particular event.
