Procrastination is a common problem that many people struggle with. It can hinder productivity, increase stress levels, and ultimately lead to a lower quality of work. If you find yourself procrastinating often, it’s time to take action and find ways to stop putting off important tasks. Here are some tips to help you overcome procrastination and become more productive:
1. Identify the root cause: The first step in overcoming procrastination is to understand why you are putting off tasks. Are you overwhelmed by the amount of work you have to do? Do you lack motivation or interest in the task at hand? By identifying the root cause of your procrastination, you can start to address the issue and find solutions to overcome it.
2. Break tasks into smaller steps: Sometimes, tasks can seem daunting and overwhelming, leading to procrastination. To make tasks more manageable, break them down into smaller, more achievable steps. This can help you stay focused and motivated, as completing smaller tasks gives you a sense of accomplishment and progress.
3. Set specific goals and deadlines: Setting specific goals and deadlines can help you stay on track and prevent procrastination. By clearly defining what you need to accomplish and by when, you can create a sense of urgency and motivation to complete the task.
4. Eliminate distractions: Identify the distractions that are causing you to procrastinate and find ways to eliminate them. This could be turning off your phone or social media notifications, creating a quiet workspace, or setting specific times for focused work without interruptions.
5. Use time management techniques: Time management techniques such as the Pomodoro technique, where you work for a set amount of time and then take a short break, can help you stay focused and productive. By managing your time effectively, you can avoid procrastination and make the most of your work hours.
6. Reward yourself: Rewarding yourself for completing tasks can be a powerful motivator to overcome procrastination. After completing a task or reaching a goal, treat yourself to something you enjoy, such as a cup of coffee, a walk outside, or a short break.
7. Seek support: If you find it difficult to overcome procrastination on your own, seek support from friends, family, or a colleague. Having someone hold you accountable and check in on your progress can help you stay motivated and on track.
Remember, overcoming procrastination takes time and effort. It’s important to be patient with yourself and to practice self-compassion as you work towards breaking the habit of procrastination. By implementing these tips and strategies, you can stop procrastinating and become more productive in your work and everyday life.
I started investing in options and this makes so much sense
"Give yourself time". I do the exact opposite. I stress everything I do even if it's like putting on clothes and many times I multitask to get a few extra seconds. A while back I basically went to work, came home to do homework and slept, and during that time I was so mad a day wasn't 48h.
Time is the ultimate healer
it's called context switching
Interesting to listen to, we’ll done from Australia 😎
I see a ton of excuses in the comments lol, just fucking try it, I did and my life got better
Tammy Peterson was talking about it recently how "the birth control" affected her mentality when she was young woman.
She wasnt aware of any danger, because the pills caused
she was more risky… she would put herself in a risky situations, without selfwareness.
She had depressions and when she stopped taking the pills she got better.
Then she started to take the pills again and her personality completelly changed. Jordan Peterson noticed it too.
She noticed the same attitude with modern women, that if thye take "birth control pills"
these women put themselves in risky situations without realising it, flirting with strangers…engaging a risky situations.
the pills are altering the hormonal cycle,the microbipom of the guts,it affects the serotonin release, but also the mindset.
it takes me a full hour to do my full shower routine 😭🙏 (can get it in 10-20 if i’m in a hella rush)
Basically, being spontaneous?
Im currently in The middle of my degenerate subhuman phase.. that’s for opening up and sharing a side of oneself that most would never admit.
Im sorry, but this didn't explain your claim.
So you mean my inability to switch between tasks means I'm high performing?
I've always felt bad about taking time to do things inside of "hoping into" or "jumping into" stuff. Feels like wasting time with transitions.
But it's not like I help it
That's probably because most people don't have a lot of time to themselves to unwind thanks to stressful jobs, so they procrastinate to take their mind off things, or at least that's my experience 🤣
I find that I gradually procrastinate. In that, say I should be doing something, but then I watch YouTube shorts for like 10-15 minutes. Nothing long, but long enough for me to be like I should have been doing that thing I was supposed to do. Then I think that I have already wasted some time, so what is another 5 more minutes of wasted time and then I go back to what I was doing to procrastinate myself.
Then I do this a few more times. Eventually 30 minutes to an hour goes by and then what I think I do is that I am like if I stop doing the mindless unimportant activity and start doing what I was supposed to be doing then I am admitting to myself I have wasted a good amount of time, but if I continue to procrastinate then I do not have to accept that. Eventually usually something comes up where I am forced to change my activity whether it is go to work or its so late I have to go to bed.
In reality if I just stopped in the first 10-15 minutes and accepted I wasted time then I would be more productive and feel better about myself. My endless procrastination definitely decreases my self confidence because it feels like I am not in control of my life as I have a tough time to just do the things I am supposed to be doing.
Delayed reward processes can be impacted in individuals who experienced narcissistic parenting. Research suggests that growing up with a narcissistic parent can influence the development of brain regions and systems involved in reward processing, leading to:
1. Altered dopamine functioning: Narcissistic parenting can affect the development of the dopamine system, leading to difficulties in experiencing pleasure, motivation, and reward.
2. Hypersensitivity to rewards: Individuals may become overly focused on short-term rewards and struggle with delayed gratification due to the inconsistent and often withholding nature of narcissistic parenting.
3. Difficulty with self-regulation: Narcissistic parenting can disrupt the development of self-regulation skills, making it challenging for individuals to manage their emotions, behaviors, and motivations in pursuit of long-term goals.
4. Fear of failure and success: The unpredictable and often critical nature of narcissistic parenting can lead to a deep-seated fear of failure and success, causing individuals to procrastinate or struggle with completing tasks.
5. Attachment issues: Narcissistic parenting can impact attachment styles, leading to difficulties in forming healthy relationships and experiencing rewarding social connections.
In terms of epigenetic pathways, research suggests that narcissistic parenting can influence the expression of genes involved in:
1. Dopamine signaling (e.g., DRD2, DRD4)
2. Stress response (e.g., FKBP5, CRHR1)
3. Neural plasticity (e.g., BDNF, CREB)
4. Emotional regulation (e.g., 5-HTT, COMT)
These changes can contribute to difficulties with delayed reward processing, motivation, and self-regulation.
Keep in mind that individual experiences and outcomes can vary widely, and more research is needed to fully understand the impact of narcissistic parenting on delayed reward processes.
But my "4 hour game session" is just a very slow transition for me to do my work
Causality or correlation? A lot of problematic habits and traits like ADHD lead to that kind of struggle with time management.
Well how am i gonna fix it ,
No wonder why I never win any social related competition I joined. I never gave myself time to relax, it's always "oh my god they only give us 1 week, how am I gonna go this" and stayed up all night doing it and failed
I have a ritual to start doing anything productive. I'll make myself some mate 🧉 or some tea to drink while I'm working. It helps me start
we are not human doings, we are beings…enough with capitalism productivity
What the fuck is he even saying ?
I’m actually confused as how to implement this in a real way.
rather than take a shower quickly to get the next thing started in 10 minutes, I take an hour to shower and get the next thing started in 90?
Slow motion is better than no motion
What i've heard: "procrastinate more cause that means you're high performer and you will succeed in life"
Great advice! Next short ⬇️
I've lost friends because of this. Granted, I may over analyze things. But, I'd rather know all the facts before jumping it a decision. But I am also very capable of making spur of the moment decisions and change plans and move things around quickly to adapt based off the knowledge I have.
"Rapid transitions" he says in a 45 second clip we all scrolled to with the tap of a finger 😅😢
Was?
You just articulated what i feel every moment. Thanks a ton.
Dude has never worked in corporate. Time is money.
Gold from Dr K as usual. I'm convinced slow living is where it's all at !
yes this is true, small habits to build it up
Shout out to DOTA2! 😝
me: spends 20 minutes taking a shower to avoid doing a task
