How To Procrastinate Less At Work?

I will do it later on.

I will do it later on.. There is a lot of time! Procrastination refers to the counter productive deferment of actions or tasks to a later time. Deferring a job to and keeping it for some other time is basically what we mean by this term. It is the mechanism of coping with anxiety associated with starting or completing a task or maybe even taking a decision.

Benjamin Franklin once said, Never leave something that you can do today this is however not how things work in the contemporary world. It is a little bit different. Procrastinating to a certain degree is accepted but chronic procrastination is a hidden psychological disorder.

There are three criteria to it: a) your work might be counterproductive b) it might be needless c) delaying habit gets on you. This may result in stress, sense of a haunting guilt, societal disapproval loss of productivity in a job. Hence this has to be avoided in order to make your job fulfilling.

The word originates from the Latin word procratinatus where pro means 'forward' and crastinatus means 'of tomorrow'.

There are basically four ways out of this problem:

1) If there is anything that is nudging you at the back of your mind then let let it out. It helps a lot. What is the use of keeping a work stored away for so long? Just do it and get done with it!

2) Keep yourself busy. That is the mantra. Do those things that you like to do. In that way at least you are ahead. At least some of your job is done. This might work as a motivation for you.

3) Plan ahead. Do it now!! If you dont have the time to do something because you have a previous appointment, then do it now! It will keep your mind off work when you are with your family or friends. You can give them the time that they deserve.

And also you won't have to compromise on your societal life. Plan out your whole week or if that is not possible plan out your whole day. This will help you to do all the tedious jobs in a very relaxed way and you wont really panic about work anymore!

4) Get rid of your guilty conscience. This might haunt you wherever you go. Dont think that you will not be able to do it. Always remember that you CAN!

5) Develop the NOW HABBIT! Do it now! This is the only cure for procrastination. You are the only one who can fulfill your dreams. Dont let negative thoughts and anxieties disturb you and make you indecisive about your path of success. And remember DO IT NOW!!
