Turn Procrastination into Motivation - Part 2
In part 1 of this blog, we discussed the cost of procrastination and the first two ways to stop procrastinating. This blog focuses on two other ways to turn procrastination into motivation.
2. Are you sufficiently motivated?
As you think about the activity that you have been putting off, how motivated do you feel about doing it? Motivation is a feeling, so do you actually feel motivated as you think about the activity or not? Do you feel other positive emotions (eg. confidence, passion, determination, etc.) or negative emotions (eg. resentment, guilt, shame, anger, etc) as you think about doing it? It is difficult to put off doing things that you feel motivated to do.
3.. What meaning do you give it?
What meaning do you give to the activity that you have been putting off? Do you anticipate it as being boring or fun? Do you anticipate that it will take forever or be quick? Do you imagine that you will be able to do it easily or worry that you will stumble or get stuck? If you imagine positives around that activity, you will be more motivated than if you imagine the negatives.
For some procrastinators, anticipation of the task is often far worse than what the task turns out to be. Are you anticipating the task turning out well or not? By visualising the activity being a success, you will be much more motivated to take action.
Imagine how much more productive, fulfilled and successful you could be once you master motivation and put off procrastination!
