So when you find yourself; tidying that cupboard, playing with the dog or putting the kettle on for that 5th cup of tea, ask yourself the following: 1. *When do you find yourself procrastinating the most?* - Is there a specific time of day when you tend to procrastinate? - Do you notice any patterns related to your energy levels? 2. *What types of tasks do you procrastinate on?* - Are there certain kinds of tasks you avoid more than others (e.g., difficult, boring, or lengthy tasks)? - Are there specific projects or responsibilities that you tend to put off? 3. *In which environments do you find yourself procrastinating?* - Do you procrastinate more at home, at work, or in other settings? - Are there particular distractions in these environments that contribute to your procrastination? 4. *What situations or feelings trigger your procrastination?* - Do you procrastinate when you feel stressed, overwhelmed, or anxious? - Do you notice procrastination happening more when you lack clear instructions or feel unprepared? 5. *What activities do you usually do when you procrastinate?* - Do you engage in specific activities like browsing social media, watching TV, or doing household chores instead of your tasks? - Are these activities more enjoyable or simply easier than the tasks you're avoiding? ### Tips to Overcome Procrastination 1. *Break Tasks into Smaller Steps* - Divide larger projects into smaller, more manageable tasks. - Set specific, achievable goals for each step to create a sense of progress. 2. *Create a Structured Schedule* - Use a planner or digital calendar to block out specific times for work and breaks. - Stick to a routine to build consistency and reduce decision fatigue. 3. *Eliminate Distractions* - Identify and remove common distractions from your work environment. - Use tools like website blockers or noise-cancelling headphones to stay focused. 4. *Set Clear Priorities*
