I have been writing a reflective essay, and I've got completely stuck. I get involved in millions of tasks except writing. Also, I had a session where my client raised the subject of procrastination for herself. Point taken... Wikipedia says "Procrastination could be further stated as a habitual or intentional delay of starting or finishing a task despite knowing it might have negative consequences. " There are many reasons why we procrastinate, and they are unique for each person. If you are also a perfectionist, then it might be helpful to look into your relationship with your parents, especially your father. For some people, understanding the reasons, it is already halfway to success. What works for me: 1) give yourself a clear deadline 2) break your task into smaller bits 3) give yourself a little reward for finished each bit 4) I find the best motivation is panic to be too late :))! Just remind yourself about your age ;) and where would you be if you would not procrastinate? What a tiny first step can you do now? Then with that adrenaline rush, you can start. After that, it is easier to continue because the biggest reward is the satisfaction of a completed task. So with that beautiful energy, I am going to continue with my essay. #procrastination #life #work #stuck
