RE: ADSactly Psychology - Procrastination

in #adsactly7 years ago (edited)

Thanks for the interesting post :)

I first came into the word "procrastination" when I was learning English in high-school, I remember checking it out in a dictionary and being fascinated by this word - it's like finding a definition, a short one, to a phenomenon you used to describe in a long sentence before.

Procrastination is a real problem - and it can have disastrous, and when things are so meaningful - the science usually steps in - in our case, scientists checked a method named "Internet-based cognitive-behavioral therapy" - it's an internet based help sessions methods with professionals that assist people needing it or without real persons involved, just a set of tools that assist in managing the situation of the needed person - in our context - it was found that using this method did help moderately in decreasing the procrastination rates among the participants - both with and without the guidance of a therapist.

Now - it might seem like an extreme measure, but if such tools do not require the procrastinator to speak with some other person - there is no shame involved and it might encourage people to actually use the help offered, and in severe cases - professional therapists might be needed.
There are some methods available in the internet that can be a nice addition to those offered in the post - google "2-Minute Rule" for example :)
