It’s a Friday afternoon and the clock is ticking. You are working furiously to complete a task allotted which needs to be submitted before 5 o’ clock deadline, while you are silently cursing yourself for not starting it sooner and deep inside you are unable to enjoy the weekend feeling.
How did
this happen? What went wrong? Why and when did you lose your focus?
Procrastination
is a trap which many of the professionals fall into. It’s a process where you
choose to do something else instead of the task you are supposed to do first.
Lack of interest, distraction, loosing focus, laziness and unwillingness to act
are the culprits.
Here are
few quick tips to Overcome Procrastination:
1. Schedule
and Time your work.
2. Recognize
and accept that you are procrastinating.
3. Always
maintain a To-Do list.
4. Prioritize
your tasks honestly and fairly.
5. Take
the hardest task first on your list at your peak hrs. When
you
are most productive.
6. Set
personal Reminders /Motivators (Persons reminding
you
about the tasks, yes it works.)
7. Set
your task completion goal for every day.
8. Don’t
forget to do a quick Evaluation at the end of the day.
Analyze the gap to understand the degree of your Procrastination fever.
