15. Overcoming Procrastination

It is just human nature to procrastinate. That means that you put off tasks for another day or time. This is true in matters which do not interest you much or you do not enjoy doing. You seem to be happy and fast in doing things which you like even if they take more time and are comparatively harder.

The main reason behind such procrastination is fear. You have some unknown fear lurking in your mind as you are doubtful of your capabilities to tackle such problems. You feel the work is too difficult or you are not interested in the job.

However, once you start doing the job, the fear vanishes and you can complete it perfectly. It is best to face unpleasant jobs or situations early and finish them off to free your mind. It is better to start with those you do not like to do or those you avoid.

Procrastination could be due to many reasons but it only leads to more stress and anxiety for you. It will do you immense good to push aside your procrastination.

Overcome it by following a few simple steps -

Never keep aside anything pending.

Always clear off all work.

Do not dwell on whether you like to do it or not, just concentrate only on completing the job.
