The maddening “procrastination” can no longer be delayed

  Whenever the end of the year, looking back on a year of work and life, many people exclaimed that time passes too quickly, too many things should be done not done, can not help but once again for “procrastination” remorse up. When I was a child, the story of the “cold bird” in the textbook is still fresh in my ears, “Do Luo Luo, Do Luo Luo, the cold wind freezes me to death, tomorrow to build a nest.” Although the term “procrastination” is popular, it is not currently included in the diagnosis system of psychological disorders and there is no authoritative definition, but this habit of procrastination is very common in the population, and often brings negative consequences and negative self-evaluation, leaving people in a vicious circle of self-defeat.  Psychologists have been focusing on how to solve “procrastination”, and the following provides several ways to deal with it: Break down tasks: You can try to break down large goals, especially those that require a lot of time and effort, into smaller tasks that you will find easier to complete, and the sense of accomplishment after you finish will help you gradually complete the final big goal. For example, if you want to complete a difficult academic paper on the side of work, you can set to write for half an hour a day, so that the goal seems more manageable.  Change the concept of time: There is a game, we feel the long 80 years of life, using “months” as a unit of time, with a grid on a piece of a4 paper, the heart of the “life is short” sense of urgency, so use Therefore, using “days” or even “hours” instead of “months” as the unit of calculation to count down will make you procrastinate less. For example, it is difficult for a professional woman to ensure that her child will not suddenly fall ill in a medical emergency before an important work day.  Face yourself and be happy with yourself: If you are always afraid of failure, of being criticized and ridiculed, and unwilling to face your weaknesses, which leads to habitual procrastination, then facing the problem head-on and seeking help is the solution. If personal abilities do have flaws, find ways to improve them or solve them in other ways. Don’t always criticize yourself. Being good at finding your strengths and accepting yourself is the first step to change. Think more about the benefits that getting things done can bring. At the same time, when you achieve small achievements, do not feel that you are still far from your goal, and celebrate every small victory you have in time.
