First Rule for Success? Never Postpone

"I'm not in the mood today, I'll do it tomorrow"

Do you ever postpone your commitments? Study, a work project, a good purpose for the new year? Maybe you're procrastinating something important right now.

Procrastination can be a real problem: hours or even whole days wasted not to finish anything, not to mention frustration and stress due to the inexorable deadlines.
Here are the 4 main causes of procrastination and as many solutions to stop postponing your commitments:

• You are working too hard and bad

Procrastination could be a symptom of poor management of your time: in short, you are working too hard and bad.

If you continue to work/study late at night or during the weekends, whether you like it or not, your brain will take breaks, creating a vicious circle in which more work is done and more work accumulates. It is no coincidence that in the most intense periods of study/work we find ourselves wandering between Facebook, Youtube and our favorite news site.

Solution: use Parkinson's law to complete well-defined and effective work/study sessions. At the same time, create the time for your passions every day and for what makes you feel good.

• What you do does not excite you

If you hate your job or feel you have completely wronged your course of study, there is no personal growth technique that you take: you will continue to procrastinate your commitments anyway.

Solution: it's time to rethink what you want to do when you grow up; make a list of your passions, of what moves you, of what you would do even without a salary.

Too easy to abandon a goal at the first obstacle, believing that it is not the right path for us: before convincing you that the course of study or the job you have is not for you, ask yourself if you really lost interest in the final goal or if it is only a passing obstacle to make you procrastinate (a particularly complicated examination, a terribly boring project, etc.).

• You avoid all dirty work

Although you love your job, you often end up in routine activities: nothing serious.

We often have to complete activities that we believe are useless, superfluous. Even the most beautiful job in the world will have some of these activities; they are like spring pollens: unavoidable, annoying, but necessary.

Solution: do not focus on the single activity, frame it in an enlarged context, but above all think about how you will feel once you got rid of this boring task.

• You are scared

Fear and procrastination often go hand in hand. But what to do when you continue to put off for fear?

Whether it's looking for a new job, knowing the girl of your dreams, or starting your own business when you're frightening (even if you do not have the courage to admit it) you'll always find dozens of plausible excuses to postpone what you would and should do.

The procrastination dictated by fear is the worst that can happen: instead of chasing your dreams you find yourself immobilized, unable to react.

Solution: become aware that you are able to act in spite of fear, but acting in spite of our fears is the only way to make them vanish.

“The possibilities are numerous once we decide to act and not react.“
