Are you one who finds yourself putting off today’s tasks until the last minute? Perhaps you’re waiting for the right mood to strike. Or you’re afraid of failure, or you find the work stressful or boring. Which one are you?
Whichever is your reason, you can find a way out of this negative cycle!
The Feelings That Besiege Procrastinators
Chances are high that you feel guilty when you’re the last one to finish or when you complete something much later than you promised. Maybe you don’t finish at all and just give up when you realize how far behind you are.
Did you know that procrastination can lead to depression? This is especially true when your habit of putting things off prevents you from ever achieving goals that are important to you. Watching the success of others who always finish first can give you the feeling of worthlessness.
If you are a procrastinator, beginning a task can be the hardest part. The following suggestions can help you get started and continue working on your tasks until you complete them.
Ginseng – The Stress Buster, Memory Enhancer, Concentration Booster
An adaptogen (a class of substances that help the body adapt to physical or mental stress), ginseng protects you from stress. This herb has also been shown to sharpen memory and concentration. This may be exactly what you need to overcome procrastination.
Also, menopausal women may be prone to depression and mood swings, which can hamper their ability to work. Ginseng can help allay menopausal symptoms, which in turn will assist in productivity and reducing procrastination.
Time Management
Procrastinators tend to ignore tasks by pointing to a lack of time. If you are someone who feels like you often don’t have enough time to do your work, try these tips on managing your time more efficiently:
Focus on Glorious Goals
Always look at the bigger picture – accomplishing your life goals. Let this vision motivate you to work towards your goal each day. Completing one small step each day will contribute to the manifestation of your dreams.
When you feel lazy, remind yourself of what you truly want. Dream about it. See it clearly in your mind’s eye. Feel the elation and satisfaction that comes from bringing these dreams to fruition.
Short List of Tips for Beating Procrastination
Follow these tips and you’ll no longer have to watch others reach the finish line before you. You’ll feel a sense of great accomplishment. Before you know it, your bigger goals will no longer just be dreams – you’ll have achieved them!
