3 Steps to Stop Your Procrastination With a Little Communication

Finding time to follow through on a task or get started on a project can be a challenge -- even when you feel eager to get started.

So, imagine how hard it is to find that time when some part of you is not on board with the undertaking. This is when you're likely to get caught up in procrastination -- and then frustration. It's a predictable pattern, and it's one that hundreds upon hundreds of smart, talented people get entangled in, much to their dismay.

Are you one of them?

Don't get discouraged or get down on yourself. Let's focus instead on how you can address this time challenge.

Here are 3 steps you can take any time to gather the information you need to make different time choices for yourself.

Notice that I'm talking about information. Each of these 3 steps has to do with communicating with or observing something about yourself. The more you can simply observe, removing judgment and self-criticism from the equation, the more information you'll gain.

3 Steps to Stop Procrastinating

First, you need to have a way of knowing when you are procrastinating. Do you notice that an item keeps moving from day-to-day-to-day on your to do list without your touching it? After day 4, you are probably procrastinating and need to take a deeper look.



Take the time to ask yourself some key questions about this item and your feelings about it. The questions may vary, but be sure to explore how you feel about accomplishing it. Could fear of success be getting in your way? Other helpful questions to ask include:


What am I waiting for?
When is a good time to do it?
How will I know it's the right time?



Listen, with your full attention, to your answers. Really engage with yourself. This builds trust and helps you sustain a solid connection with yourself for the long haul!


One of the people we are most likely to lose touch with - especially when life gets hectic - is ourselves. When this happens, rebelliousness, procrastination, and other self-defeating patterns can set in and rob you of precious time.

This kind of open self-communication is key to making informed time choices and avoiding the procrastination trap. Have you tried asking yourself some questions like this... and listening to your answers? I'd love to hear how it works for you!

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
