What are the different ways we procrastinate?
When do you procrastinate the most?
How has being home fed into your procrastination?
Let’s beat procrastination:
- First and foremost: Have a separate space from where you relax to where you do your work
- It will be easy to procrastinate doing work if you are trying to do work in a place you usually relax in- check out the link above to see how to create a workspace at home
- Eat That Frog!
- “Eat that frog” means to tackle the worst thing you have to do everyday (your “frog”) first because you are more likely to procrastinate.
- Pomodoro Technique
- Choose a task you need to get done
- Set a timer on your phone for 25 minutes and put your phone on the other side of the room and remove distractions (like TV)
- Do the task until the timer goes off- then take a 5 minute break
- For every 4th pomodoro (when the timer goes off) take a longer break- 25-30 minutes
