This is one of the challenges that most people are going through, or if you are here, I am sure you too want to know the way to stop procrastination. There are 10 secrets that will help you to overcome procrastination?

Procrastination is nothing but a game where your mind and you are involved in it. It means you get convinced with a logical reason from your mind, that why you should not do something right now, that is where you start postponing tasks.

The mind creates a filter where you can’t see the importance of completing that task.

How to stop procrastinating tasks?

  • Social commitment:

It means that you committing your goals, ideas, or projects in front of your friends or colleagues or on any social media. You committing to do something socially gives you the sense of more responsibility and social pressure to finish it on time.

  • Immediate urgency:

In immediate urgency, it means creating urgency to complete a task or removing logical reasons by creating immediate urgency. While creating urgency, it can either be a time urgency or social urgency.

  • No option-option strategy:

Where you do not listen to any excuses from your brain. That is where you can complete any work without giving any option of not doing it or without any excuses.

  • Strong WHY:

When we feel there is no meaning in the task that is where the highest chance of you procrastinating lies.

  • Big picture:

It means you create a big picture to do more with a bigger purpose, then that drives you to do and complete things.

  • Affirmation:

Doing affirmations means training your mind with positive thoughts or to communicate the right things. It means whenever your mind says I can’t do it, you say that I can do it or whenever it says I am fearful about it then you say that I act in spite of fear. The most dominant thoughts in your mind are the ones that create you.

  • Visualization:

Writing Direction for the day helps to structure your daily routines and to reach a particular destination or to complete some particular tasks. Visualization creates a “Mental Trajectory”

  • Pain- Pleasure story:

Every time when you want to do any task, if you think about a pain story such as what are the consequences that will happen if you don’t complete that, also what are the good things that can happen if you do that, this combination of both pain and pleasure story behind that task you complete will drive you to do the work.

  • Accountability Buddy:

You need only one accountability partner who really believes in your goals and dreams. They support you, encourage you, when you achieve greater things, and kick you when you didn’t do your tasks. Having such a hug and kick accountability buddies will help you to achieve your tasks.

  •  Reward:

It means appreciating yourself or celebrating each and every win, keeping your inner child happy.  If you are not happy inside with completing certain tasks then, you always want to take a rest or you start procrastinating to work.

Along with taking care of yourself, rewarding people who supported you along the journey is also important.
