Re: Tips for Procrastinating?

(Anonymous) 2015-04-12 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Set a kitchen timer for 20 minutes. You're gonna work on the paper, and only the paper, for that 20 minutes. After that you get a break (say... 10 minutes?) Lather, rinse, repeat. Works for me.

Also, try changing formats. Go from writing on the computer to writing on paper. Go from sitting in the living room to sitting in the library.

Reward yourself with a short break after you get each chunk done. Exercise is the PERFECT break for this, because getting up and moving around also gets the gears of your brain turning.

The other thing was realizing that I procrastinate because a task seems too big or scary, or because I'm worried about getting it 100% perfect and correct.

a) breaking it down into small bits really does help a LOT. it doesn't have to get done all in one go, it just has to get done.

b) of course it's not going to be perfect. nothing is. i will inevitably make mistakes. but making a few mistakes is better than not handing it up at all. it doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to get done.
