Simple ways to overcome procrastination

Eluding Procrastination

I know of a thief, a very effective one which by stealing one item destroys a whole lot more. And the interesting thing he rarely gets POLICED.

Wondering who or what it is?
It’s *PROCRASTINATION*

In simple English it’s the act of Putting things away. Things that could and are better done now. Procrastination is a very dangerous habit that’s fast becoming normal act to others, let others put things away but not you.
By stealing time, Procrastination steals Effectiveness of action, momentum and ultimately the action itself. Justifying the statement *Procrastination is the thief of life*

As humans, I know we sometimes have the tendency to postpone things, *I’ll do it later* and we find ourselves not remembering until it’s almost too late or not at all. And that’s it, the moment’s gone.

*You are very hardworking by certain standards but you productivity isnt so impressive, stop wondering why. Rather start asking yourself when last you took action at the exact moment that’s required of you, are you not working later, studying (or whatever it is it) later.?*

Have you really tried getting done but it doesn’t just seem to be working? Check if you are putting things away and doing them later.

I learnt about the defectiveness of procrastination early on in life, but to a point I still struggled with getting rid of it. So don’t feel dejected if you’ve tried getting rid of it and it’s not working. There’s still a way.
And if you’ve not really tried or even understand how destructive it was before now, you are the luckiest.
*Now how you deal with Procrastination.*

Before you can wage a battle, you need to understand your FOE. In this case too, before you can eliminate Procrastination you need to know how it works.. Here’s how it works….

*The act of putting things away is a behavioral tendency, a conscious act that requires little or no effort or convincing before carrying out.*
*Whilst taking actions on the other hand requires reason which takes conscious effort too.*
So naturally you tend to go for the act that requires little effort but this is dangerous even if the action to be taken could be done later or not so important.

*The reason is the effect it has on the subconscious aspect of your mind.*
*Whatever you do consciously registers on your subconscious mind which will later influence your conscious actions.*

See, that’s why it’s not easy to stop procrastinating without a strong tool.

And I’ve got the perfect tool for you…

But before I give you, let me tell you how it works.
*We’ve already learnt that procrastination is an act committed by oneself and stimulated by oneself, so to deal with you need a self originated tool which will start the battle from conscious to unconscious and that’s what this tool does.*
The tool is a 3 word phrase. *DO IT NOW*

Yeah that’s it, Say to yourself those words and follow it through with action. Say it repeatedly until you are convinced, until it registers on your mind.
*Anytime you feel the urge to postpone, say those words repeatedly until you are willed into action. Make sure you follow it through with action right now. Do it now.*

*Increase your productivity this way by memorizing and registering this self motivator. If you keep this up well enough, you won’t need to say them anymore when you feel the urge to procrastinate, why?*
*Because it’s gonna flash into your mind just before you start proving to yourself why you should postpone.*

Simple right, well yes. Most of life’s problems just requires us to realise the simple secret, the underlining principle and that’s all. But it gets difficult if you don’t follow it through with action.
*Do it now.*
