I do get things done. But sometimes I think that I could have started some things early, avoid rush. Also a sort-of negative perfectionism that does the opposite, where I end up delaying the start while thinking about the best time to start and how to avoid possible trouble etc.
How do you categorise and adjust accordingly about such stuff?
If you are someone who got out of or reduced such behaviour(or helped someone to do that), what were the things that you/they did? How did you/they start out and progress etc.
Thanks in advance
Decide to pocrastinate later after you did all the things.
No really, if there is something to do, do it immediately. You store tasks in the later and you only exist in the now, so later is never now. There is only now and you need to decide to procrastinate later.
Don’t justify why you can’t do it now. “I should wait until…” Naw, unless it is impossible to do because you need to shave the yak, do it now. No, it won’t be better to do it at 4:00, 4:15, 4:30 or whatever nice increment of time. Do the shit at 3:53.
You decide when to do something, procrastination is deciding not to do something. Make the very real conscious decision to do the thing now. It isn’t easy, you will have to catch yourself slipping, and you will have to learn the habit.
I either do this (my alarm sits on the opposite side of my bedroom) or schedule it once, if you can’t fit it right now. Procrastination becomes a slippery slope after that.
