RE: ADSactly Psychology - Procrastination

in #adsactly7 years ago

Thanks for your post, I often ponder about procrastination and how to fight against it. I like the "do something" philosophy when dealing with procrastination. You don't need to plan to take on the full thing whatever it may be, but take one step doing something towards it. A lot of the time when people get active by even doing a small thing, they build momentum and end up doing more.

The biggest myth regarding action I have heard is that people need motivation before doing something. In my experience, motivation and inspiration take place after action, not before. Basically, getting up and do even a little something is better than waiting for that kickstart to complete it all.

For me it's sometimes so that the hardest thing is to get started with something. After I've started with the task, sometimes I discover it's much easier than expected.

I think it's important for people to remember that getting started on work is often harder than doing the work itself.
