Procrastination sounds like an addition to vocabulary one can have. Google this word and you will find tons of material on how not to do it.

When I heard about this word and its meaning, I was like, bro I am a pro in it. I was not knowing there is a word for the activity which I do often I have read a couple of books also related to it. I came to know there are a lot of techniques to overcome it seems.

One of them is Eat your frog. Do uneasy and not interesting work first and eat your frogs and all. Prioritize your work. Have strong willing power and a lot more.

But we need to understand why so we procrastinate. It is more psychological than anything to do with anything.

We procrastinate because

We believe in perfection. I want to do that task perfectly and it is gonna take a lot out of me. Such subconscious feelings make us not do that task.

There is a genuine reason for us not to do that task. You are not doing your laundry because you don't f*c*ing like it. We know it in our gut but we ignore it and set some unrealistic goals and thus we procrastinate, which results in losing confidence in ourselves.

How to stop procrastinating

Accept you don't like doing that task. Just say ya I know I don't like that task, and then point out what are the outcomes of not doing that task. Believe me, it's gonna work. Just give it a try.

Tone down the quality/quantity of work you are procrastinating on. You don't need to be perfect , you don't have to finish it once. Just say I am gonna do it half and when I feel comfortable I will finish the rest. Just push yourself to start that ask. A little progress will give a mental boost and who knows you might end up finishing that task.

Just DO IT... that's it ..no rocket science... just start.
