How to overcome procrastination

Procrastination is actually two situations. One is chronicity, and you have to do everything slowly. The other is procrastination. Things that should be done today must be postponed until tomorrow. That is to say: tomorrow comes tomorrow, and there are so many tomorrows. If I wait for tomorrow, everything will be wasted.

This kind of procrastination is often a bad habit developed since childhood. When I was young, my parents felt sorry for their children and liked to let them sleep in. In fact, children generally like to get up early after the age of 2. Just like small animals, they get up at dawn and want to sleep when it gets dark. But we parents don’t want to disturb our children, so we close the curtains tightly to make the room dark, and like to let our children sleep a little longer in the morning. In this way, the children’s biological clock will develop the habit of getting up late until they go to kindergarten. Sometimes, parents will blame their children for staying in bed. In fact, these habits are developed by the parents. Also, many old people take care of their children, chasing them to feed them. It takes an hour to eat a meal, and they play while eating. This is also a bad habit developed by children. Habits formed are difficult to change.

It is easy to develop unfavorable habits, but you have to overcome many difficulties to change them. Just like it is easy for a mother to raise a chubby kid, but it is difficult to make her child lose weight. When children grow up and find that they have the habit of procrastinating, they must consciously correct it. First of all, they must realize that this habit of theirs is not a good one, and they must want to change it from the bottom of their hearts. This is very important. If you don’t really want to change, you will never be able to do it. It can't be done either.

You must have a plan when doing things. Plan the time before doing something, how long it will take to complete it, and what time it will start and end. Then implement it immediately, put the watch in the most conspicuous position, and the clock will always remind yourself. In addition, you can also write "Cherish your time" or other warning slogans in places where you usually stay in the office or home.

Don’t put off until tomorrow what you should do today, and don’t put off until the day after tomorrow what you should do tomorrow, otherwise some things will become a Marshall Plan. For example: I think I should keep running every day, it’s time to exercise. Then you must implement it immediately. Set the alarm clock the night before and get up on time. Don't be lazy in bed. As long as you persist for half a month, the habit will be formed. When you go out to exercise, you will find that there are too many people who get up earlier than you. Why do I just want to exercise? People are like this. If you develop a good habit, you must stick to it. As long as you always remind yourself not to procrastinate, this kind of procrastination will be cured soon. It is difficult for gods to persuade damned ghosts. This is the truth. If you want to change, you must start from the "heart" Change.
