It was fun being a student of Professional Skills but was equally boring when we had to listen to the hours of long, tiring lectures. Many of the times we were taught how not to procrastinate. Most of the methods that are conventionally taught are cliched and boring. So here I am writing a desi guide for our readers and this will tell you how to avoid procrastination.
For those folks who aren’t aware of this term, ‘procrastination’ means putting off your work till the last minute. Obviously no one likes to be taunt and face the consequences of procrastination, still we do it. Everyone? oh of course almost everyone procrastinates.
I understand you must have tried reading all those lengthy articles out there to find some tips of not to procrastinate. So these are the tips that really work helping you to avoid procrastination.
- Do not overlook the nature of task: This is extremely important, you should understand the nature of the task and should not overlook its importance. Because if happens often that we keep procrastinating thinking that the given task is so simple that we can complete is in the last minute.
- Organize Yourself: Hey don’t consider it a cliched or conventional phrase. Organizing yourself is still an important factor. Organizing your self refers to organizing your tasks, organizing your workspace and managing your time.
- Plan Ahead: Again a very important point, you should be doing prior planning of your tasks.
- Take the notes of Your Tasks: Everyday if you keep a note of the tasks you are supposed to complete in the given number of time, you really can step towards avoiding procrastination. Since most of desis procrastinate because they keep on forgetting the tasks. So a nice way is either you keep the notes on paper or set a reminder on your phone. It will really help.
- Fear of Danda: The last one might sound a bit funny but its true that desis understand the language of danda =P. In other words, if severe consequences are not set, you will be procrastinating. So you should keep thinking about the certain consequences you might be facing if you don’t complete a given task.
