How to Analyze People The Procrastination Puzzle
Jason Browne
- Beat
- Your
- Procrastination
- And
- Tackle
- Your
- To-Do
- List
- The
- Right
- WayDo
- you
- tend
- to
- put
- things
- off,
- make
- excuses
- for
- missed
- deadlines,
- and
- generally
- find
- yourself
- starting
- things
- you
- don't
- finish?A
- university-wide
- study
- proved
- that
- procrastinators
- routinely
- experienced
- more
- stress
- and
- received
- worse
- grades
- after
- putting
- off
- studying.There's
- no
- need
- to
- be
- ashamed
- of
- it.
- In
- this
- tech
- and
- media
- inundated
- age
- we
- live
- in,
- instant
- gratification
- is
- a
- click
- away
- at
- every
- turn.
- This
- predictably
- lures
- us
- away
- from
- what
- we
- should
- be
- doing.Did
- you
- know
- that
- the
- average
- person
- is
- distracted
- or
- interrupted
- every
- 40
- seconds
- when
- working
- in
- front
- of
- a
- computer?The
- effect
- is
- so
- pervasive
- in
- fact
- that
- one
- study
- found
- that
- the
- proportion
- of
- self-identified
- procrastinators
- has
- increased
- by
- 400%
- since
- the
- 1970s.So,
- needless
- to
- say,
- all
- of
- us
- delay
- from
- time
- to
- time.
- The
- time
- for
- concern,
- though,
- is
- when
- you
- regularly
- avoid
- your
- priorities.Many
- that
- have
- had
- an
- ongoing
- issue
- with
- procrastinating
- are
- resistant
- to
- addressing
- it.
- They
- assume
- it's
- just
- how
- they
- are
- and
- can
- make
- things
- work
- within
- this
- way
- of
- operating.That's
- selling
- yourself
- short,
- though.
- If
- you're
- procrastinating,
- you're
- actually
- working
- harder
- than
- you
- need
- to
- for
- less
- benefit.
- And
- with
- a
- few
- simple
- shifts
- in
- behavior
- and
- environment,
- you
- can
- realize
- quick,
- lasting
- gains.Here
- is
- a
- select
- sample
- of
- what
- you´ll
- discover
- in
- How
- to
- Analyze
- People
- -
- The
- Procrastination
- Puzzle:And
- much
- more.You
- might
- have
- tried
- everything
- to
- stop
- your
- procrastination,
- but
- nothing
- has
- helped.
- The
- truth
- is,
- you
- didn't
- understand
- the
- "why"
- behind
- your
- inability
- to
- start.Procrastination
- is
- more
- about
- our
- emotions
- and
- environment,
- less
- about
- our
- "laziness".
- If
- you
- follow
- the
- right
- guidance
- even
- procrastinators
- at
- heart
- can
- fully
- kick
- procrastination
- to
- the curb.
