Beat Procrastination This New Year
As the New Year begins, many of us are likely setting resolutions. The question is, will we achieve them? If you're someone who often sets goals but struggles to start or finish them, you're not alone. Procrastination affects us all at some point. Fortunately, there's a way to tackle it. Remember the acronym SNOW, and follow these four steps:
Step 1: STOP
Procrastination often occurs because a positive motivation is outweighed by a negative feeling, leaving you unmotivated and indecisive. Instead of adding guilt to the mix, simply pause and acknowledge the struggle without stress.
Step 2: NOTICE
Pay attention to what you’re actually avoiding. Identify the negative emotions or fears associated with the task. For instance, writers often procrastinate due to a fear of not producing quality work. Recognize your own counter-force and understand what's holding you back.
Step 3: ORDER
Bring order to the chaos by creating a detailed step-by-step plan. Write down each tiny action (e.g., take the file off the shelf, place it on the table). This breakdown simplifies the task and builds momentum as you check off each step, driving you forward.
Step 4: WHISTLE
Yes, whistle while you work! Whistling can lift your mood and make the task feel less daunting. By starting with a smile, you’ll find yourself more motivated to continue and complete your goals.
