How I Beat Procrastination

Completing a task was challenging for me, and I couldn’t rely on the excuse that I didn’t have time. Whenever I procrastinated, I got in myself and tried to rationalize why I shouldn’t do a task I knew I was 100% capable of doing. I always considered myself lazy. Some people will agree that I’m lazy, so of course, I wouldn’t do anything in my life that’s not easy. It wasn’t until I began to break down that I realized that my self-perception was holding me back.

There’s no denying that procrastination often leads to procrastination—but it doesn’t have to be this way. Breaking the procrastination cycle is a process that has many benefits, and I find that I’m able to manage my procrastination more easily than ever. I see procrastination as an energy drain. During your life, we’re constantly being influenced by our surroundings—which, I don’t mean to be a bad thing, but it comes with a certain responsibility. The first step to overcoming procrastination is to let go of this attitude that you need to work hard to gain this energy. Believe me, none of your time is wasted by working when there’s time left over to play. When I was a student, I had an hour or two free before class every day that I would spend until the wee hours of the morning. I spent those hours sleeping and having a wonderful time with my friends. If you find yourself struggling with a procrastination bug, I urge you to let go of the desire to always put in an effort.

• Take control of your time.
• Be present.
• Make your day-to-day routine enjoyable.
• Don’t let your weight weigh you down.

Walking your dog and having a walk is very calming. We need our mental health to be at its best. There’s nothing wrong with just being in the moment, enjoying every minute. The truth is, we spend so much of our time focusing on doing something else that we forget to rest and take care of ourselves. Playing is a daily activity that anyone can get out of. No matter your age, this can be a pleasure to enjoy with a friend. Make the task on your to-do list time-lodged in your mind.

Instead of trying to solve that problem while sitting in front of the TV, just visualize how things should be done. Take away your anxiety about doing something you despise and start your creativity and flow over. This perspective can change how you approach your daily tasks. Not that you would ever want to be stimulated and stimulated. Relax and enjoy the moment. I take myself out for a brisk walk every morning. The key is to start on time and pick something you’re most passionate about. Some may argue that walking is just a well-paid hobby, but what’s the difference between that and purpose and passion for something? Would you argue about somebody making more money for a vlogger’s or writer’s project than someone who’s really satisfied? You can find as much enjoyment and pride in walking that you can from learning something new.

As I said before, I’m a procrastinator, and that’s not an excuse to undervalue the quality of your life. We can’t use our weaknesses to not make every effort possible. We need to embrace our weaknesses and learn from them. When we're focused and motivated, we can do anything we set our minds to.
