Procrastination

One thing that is nuclear to defeating procrastination once and for all, and which is actually a common denominator to any technique, system or habit you can start implementing is momentum. The idea is very simple. Any task or project becomes easier once you start working on it. Okay, so think about this. You may notice that when you have a pretty lazy day, it feels even more difficult to do things. So if you didn't do anything in the morning, you may find that it may be actually difficult to do some basic tasks like clean the dishes, or going outside for a walk with your dog. On the other hand, when you're having a very productive day, it feels like you're on a roll. As you go through these tasks and you accomplish those tasks, take off those items in your to-do list, it seems like getting things done is actually easier than you realized before. And this is a basic example of what momentum does for you. It has a lot to do with your confidence in your own work and energy, as well as your ability to trust yourself to actually get things done. And for a lot of people, working on the same type of tasks all the time, while using the same tools, mindset and resources for several hours, is one of the things that contribute a lot to procrastination, and it also contributes to that feeling of lack of progress. That is really unhelpful when trying to boost your confidence in your work and momentum in general. So diversifying the type of tasks, the resources you need, as well as the level of challenge, can be a really positive way for you to diversify the items in your to-do list, and gain that momentum back.
