Cures for the Chronic Procrastinator

Sunday, July 20th, 2008

 Yeah!. This is it, this is what I need to change my life and start feeling better. I am very bothered with my attitude, Im a Super Chronic Procrastinator, I always end up caught in deadlines and people would usually hate me for not doing promises and such. And the reason for that is I sometimes forget the things I do, I get easily distracted by other thoughts so I usually dont finish a work I start and I am always guilty for not doing things that I am supposed to do or accomplish. And here it is, Finally.. THE CURES:

  1. Break the chronic procrastinator’s habit: whenever you catch yourself thinking I can do it later make a point of doing it NOW!.
  2. Tell others about your goals so that you’ll have extra motivation to accomplsh them.
  3. Eliminate distractions, even if it means locking the door or thaking the phone hook off.
  4. Make plans that require you to complete your chores by a certain date.
  5. If a project is large or complex, break it down into smaller, more manageable parts.
  6. Take time out to ask yourself: “Is there an easire way to do this?”
  7. Dont wait until you have time to finish the entire task. Do as much as you can whenever you can.
  8. Set firm but realistic deadlines for yourself.
  9. Start with the simplest or the most enjoyable part of a job, even if it’s not the first logical step. The rest will be easire once you have gained momentum.
  10. Or try the opposite strategy: tackle the toughest part of the project first so that you can coast ifyour energy or enthusiasm runs out later on.
  11. Make a list of everything you have to do, and dont stop until youve checked off every item.
  12. Dont be a perfectionist; you can polish your work as much as you wish after you;ve made some headway.
  13. Dont interrupt yourself bu starting another task before you’ve completed the first one.
  14. Remeber that buckling down to a task, although it seems hard at first, really makes your life easier in the long run.
  15. Treat yourself to a small reward for each deadline you meet.

There you go, start right NOW change your LIFE FOREVER!. go me!.
