Sometimes the most significant obstacle keeping you from achieving your goals is yourself. This is not just your problem. It’s a global problem. In the United States alone, 84% of people are affected by procrastination; 1 in 5 procrastinate every day.
Before we start talking about procrastination, we need to understand what procrastination is and where it comes from.
WHAT IS BASICALLY PROCRASTINATION?
It simply means waiting until the last minute to complete a task. Researchers estimate that procrastination can come for many reasons.
- If we grew up in a very authoritative parenting style, like ‘they always try to control you, you have today now’ so we procrastinate as a form of rebellion.
- Fear of failure plays a vital role in your procrastination. You don’t want to fail in your life, and deep down, you believe that you can’t achieve success in this field. For example, You know that you need to work hard to get a job in a company like Google. But you also know there are so many competitions and you are an average student, so it’s not possible for you to go there. So It’s a dream to work for Google. But it’s hard for you.
- Lack of motivation. I saw so many people in my life; they don’t have any goals in their life. That’s why they just put things off, cause they don’t even know if the particular item is important from them or not.
In most cases, procrastination is not a sign of a serious problem. It’s a common tendency that most people give in to at some point or another.
TYPES OF PROCRASTINATORS.
- Arousal type procrastinators: That is someone who loves that euphoric high and adrenaline rush, they want to become the best in the class, but mostly they do everything at the minute.
- The people who don’t want to take responsibility: You may have heard that some people say, I don’t know how I should do this if it goes wrong, I don’t know anything, I will not take any responsibilities.
- The people who don’t want to fail: They always think, if I dont put any effort in, so there is no chance of failure. But they firmly believe that, if they do the work, then I will give my 100% effort. But unfortunately, they don’t want to do anything.
OVERCOME PROCRASTINATION.
1. BREAK YOUR GOALS:
One of the most important reasons we procrastinate is that, subconsciously, we find our task overwhelming. To make it less intimidating, break it down into smaller goals, and now focus on one goal at a time. Not only is the resulting amount of work more manageable, but it also doesn’t look as overwhelming.
When you complete the smaller goal of the task, you will feel a sense of accomplishment. This helps reinforce your determination to tackle the rest.
