PROCRASTINATION-Proof of being a human

There is a famous doha by saint Kabir which is taught to every Indian from childhood which goes like:

Meaning: Do the work that needs to be done now. There is no other time then now.

But sticking to our policy of blackmailing parents, we use the very same doha for the things we want them to do for us. Not being able to meet deadlines often and finding yourselves in a stressed situation due to lack of time are all signs of procrastination. When we have more time for doing a less amount of work, we tend to delay it which eventually leads us to a tight situation. But on the bright side, we can trick our brain into getting done what has to be done and that too on time. There are few tricks which you can try to bluff your own brain and get work done.

1. Start with working for just 5 minutes. This will make you come into the zone of working and you may even end up working for 2 hours.
2. Break the work into bits that you can do each day. Make it a combination of tough and easy tasks per day.
3. Make a reward system. For example if you are a coffee person (just like me!), then decide that you will get coffee only if you complete a certain amount of work. This can be replaced by simple things that you enjoy doing in your daily life.
4. Appreciate yourselves for whatever amount of work you do. Inculcating a new habit takes about a month. So don’t be harsh on yourself.

So, these were few things which can help you to get work done. Also, signing off as I have to go and do my assignment which I had been procrastinating since forever!

DREAM IT.

BELIEVE IT.

ACHIEVE IT.
