SuprAffs: Procrastination
SuprAffs: Procrastination
I like it when I "prioritize" my tasks and do the most important and/or hardest ones first.
I like it when I refer to the same reminder source daily (calendars, lists, etc.) to stay on top of my workflow.
When feeling resistance to a task, I like continually cutting the goal in half until my reluctance has dissolved..
I like it when I complete daily tasks early and then having free time to relax.
I like it when I break down my time deadlines, etc. into smaller segments that are not so overwhelming.
I like it when I assign a specific time each day to work on specific goals or think about any obstacles to achieving them.
I like it when I keep my desk and computer clean and uncluttered. (That way I'm ready to go when taking on a task).
I like it when I avoid switching between tasks too often (it reduces my ability to stay focused on the job at hand).
I like it when I reward myself with regular breaks throughout the day. (It helps keeping me from becoming overwhelmed with a task).
I like it when I remind myself daily that I don't need the approval of others to enjoy doing the things I want.
I like it when I'm able to "batch" daily tasks into weekly tasks to cut down on procrastination. (Having several daily tasks (e.g. social media daily blogs) helps prevent procrastinating on "low energy" days.
I like it when I take action on a desired goal so quickly there is no time to think about procrastinating.
I like it when I remind myself daily that new projects don't have to be perfect when just getting started.
I like it when I allow myself to ask for help if I think someone can show me a way to get something done faster or better.
When feeling resistance to a task I like to ask myself "what small part of this chore am I willing to do now"?
I like it when I create my ideal work environment before starting my tasks.
When engaged in an unproductive activity I LIKE it when I ask myself "am I procrastinating on a desired action that needs attention now"?
I like it when I'm able to focus on the essentials in life. Less is better and not so stressful.
I like it when I'm able to set unimportant things aside until my daily goals are met.
I like it when I try to identify the fear(s) in my life that may maintain procrastination.
I like it when I try to determine if "fear of success" may be preventing me from moving forward with my goals.
I like it when I make an attempt to identify the "triggers or cues" that occur right before feeling resistance to a specific action.
I like it when I ask myself daily "am I using social networking visits and Internet browsing habits to prevent my completing tasks?
Choose from the following list according to that which you find believable and best fits your situation. Read or repeat out loud the SuprAffs (not the part in paren-thesis) three (3) times a day (preferably morning, noon and night) until your new habits are firmly established. (The latest studies show the average time for changing habits is around 66 days but everyone is different and you will probably see partial results right away).
For best results (and to prevent becoming overwhelmed) use only a few SuprAffs at a time until your new habits are formed.
