I am even procrastinating writing this. :-)
The above sentence was written Friday night, and below Sunday afternoon.
This is basically a habit, which everyone develops unconsciously. Still its a habit, albeit a chronic one.
One actually realizes this only when he is already trapped.
The session:
Q. Define procrastination?
A. Its a habit of delaying any work/activity, which most of the times is more important+/urgent, for another activity(or no activity) which is either leisure or timepass.
Q. Main reasons?
A. It is a byproduct of laziness.
Its parallel in physics, inclination of a body to stay in region of minimum energy.
Q. How to overcome this??
A. Hmmm... I have read many sites on this, 5 ways to beat or 13 ways to beat or 3 ways to beat. I always feel they sort of miss the mark. I am pretty sure it has one simple solution. Let me look for it....
For me its mostly has been a problem that I just end up doing nothing, and skipping that something for later, which actually is never. Another thing which I have noticed is that people give an excuse(to themselves) of
planning it.
Moment: You realize that task A needs to be done now, and you have a recreational activity, task B. And you are gonna choose now.
The most important part is awareness, if you are here searching to cure your procrastination then you are already aware of it. And as you are aware, and as you are in the moment, you have a choice to either do the task or procrastinate.
So it comes down to one thing. Choice. And you are watching yourself, taking the decision. I cant force you to make the right choice. You have to do it yourself, and as i said, you are watching yourself making that choice.
And as Neo said, "Choice. Problem is choice".
And my answer is "Just do it" :-)
