Procrastination is delaying important and urgent things and working on non urgent and unimportant things. Most people procrastinate because they think that important tasks are too challenging to overcome. The truth is that we must complete the task for our own good. Doing it in the last minute increases stress and affects the quality of the task.
1. To-Do List: Preparing a “TO-DO” list is a very powerful way to keep your mind focused. Making a list of urgent and important task enables you to complete those tasks on the same day.
2. Chunk bigger tasks into smaller: You procrastinate because you think that you have too much to do. Chunking bigger task into smaller gives you motivation and your mind can get those activities done much quicker. Imagine if you need to do a 30 page report, break that down and do one page every day. Focus on one page a day.
3. Prioritize your “TO-DO” list: You need to prioritize your “TO- DO list” and numerically give a sequence to them. This allows you to get the urgent and important task done at the right time.
4. The art of saying “NO”: Saying “YES” can sometimes be as important as saying “NO”. Imagine if you have an important meeting tomorrow. Your friend calls you up and asks you to join him for a party. You have the choice to make that decision. It is always better to be accountable than to blame your friend for everything that went wrong.
