How to Stop Procrastinating.
How to Do the Work When You Really Don't Feel Like It
Whether you’re avoiding replying to emails, putting up a blog post, a date with some dumbbells, Following up with a potential customer, or a closet desperately need some organization….. delay has the power to transform a simple task into Mount Everest. Overcoming procrastination will take consistency and repetition in change of habits.
Accomplishing our goals simply doesn’t require consistent motivation. We can achieve big things, even when we don’t feel like doing the day-to-day tasks.
How do we battle this vicious cycle?
It’s important to identify why we’re dodging that specific activity.
Here’s 2 ways to think about how motivation, emotion, and goals connect.
Promotion-focused people see their goals as creating a path of improvement, moving forward, achieving something, or advancement and they concentrate on the rewards that they will accrue when they achieve them.
Prevention-focused people see their goals as responsibilities, and they concentrate on staying safe, not getting hurt, or doing something wrong. They also worry about what might go wrong if they don’t work hard enough or aren’t careful enough. Fear of Failure.
These two types can also affect HOW we procrastinate.
The act you choose is far less important than the ritual itself, because daily repetition “primes” your brain to tackle the task. Over time, a pleasant ritual can even create positive anticipation around the work, rather than a spiral of procrastination.
