PROCRASTINATION AND ITS SOLUTIONS
Definition of Procrastination
Well it simply means the act of delaying a task we need to undertake or have it put off to another day or time (postponed).
Anyway, this has been going on for ages and as human we must have procrastinated one time or the other.
Story Time
Mike’s car was due for periodic regular maintenance in a week’s time. He was so busy with work and meetings in the office. Back home, the kids needed his help in homework. In one word it’s called BUSY! Where on earth can I find time to have my car maintained? Give me two more weeks and I will get it done. All seem valid reasons for procrastination. Even if Mike doesn’t have one he will find one! The day came when he was driving to work smoke show up in the bonnet because his engine was over heated. This was due to his radiator breaking down. Now will Mike learn a lesson from here about procrastination?
Back To Our Internet Marketing Arena
If in the off-line world people did procrastinate, I’m sure as on-line marketers we also did the same don’t we?
Reasons For Procrastination
When we do planning or goal setting like starting an on-line business or writing an e-book or making a video, this will give us a vision of what we want to achieve in the future. We even can have dreams about these, but when we bring ourselves down to reality, which is now we fall into old habits as we only can relate to the present moment. What the goal or plans for the future is lost which lead us to procrastination.
Decisions or tasks we put from day to day leading to month to month eventually year-to-year are called chronic procrastination. Examples are like losing weight, starting a business.
Smaller tasks we put off till last minute like answering the e-mail we received in the morning just when we are about to leave the office. Staying back late or late into the night when these tasks could have been done in the morning. Rushing through your project at the last minute. These are called daily procrastination.
If you could beat chronic one’s than it’s easier to manage the daily procrastination.
