Procrastination

A community portal about Procrastination with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Procrastination is the deferment or avoidance of an action or task and is often linked to perfectionism. For the person procrastinating this may result in stress, a sense of guilt, the loss of productivity, the creation of crisis, and the chagrin of others for not fulfilling one's responsibilities or commitments. While it is normal for individuals to procrastinate to some degree, it becomes a problem when it impedes normal functioning. Chronic procrastination may be a sign of an underlying psychological or physiological disorder.

Overcome procrastination with a headline

Written by j4london on

From: timetowrite.blogs.com

We’re getting an economic stimulus (maybe) but equally important is a creativity/productivity stimulus. Here is the first of half a dozen ways you can give your creativity and productivity a boost:

WRITE A HEADLINE FOR YOUR DAY

This is something to do at the start of your day. If you write a to-do list, add this element right at the top so you can see it all day long. Simply write a headline that you want to describe what will happen that day. For example:

[Your name] Clears the Annoying Pile of Papers on his/her Desk!

[Your Name] Completes the Insurance Forms he’s/she’s been Meaning to Submit!

[Your Name] Makes the Phone Call he/she has been Avoiding!

Turning it into a headline makes it a more fun, less daunting, more motivating. Give it a try.
