Procrastination

I, like many of you procrastinate from time to time.  Sometimes it is for small tasks that need to be done, and sometimes they are deadline specific jobs that have to be done.  Every time it happens I hate myself for it.  I don't want to be the guy who waited until the last minute to do things, or put something off that needed to be done.  The only way I've found to combat this is the reminder app on my phone.  I have it set up to give me a daily reminder for tasks or projects that are due soon.  Things that have to be done, but don't have any kind of time line get a weekly reminder.  Is this really the best way?  I don't know, but it works for me!

Hahaha hey I am a fellow procrastinator and agree that it sucks! Setting reminders is a good idea

I have struggled with procrastination most of my life, and still do ocassionally, but I have found a good fix for it. It's not always immediate, but it works.

Whatever the thing is that I am procrastinating on, I tell a different story about it if I can and put a different perspective on it, which changes my feelings about it. Or, sometimes just as effective, I give myself permission not to do it. And then I do it because there's no pressure or need to do it:)

I like that. Almost like when your learning something new, think about how you would teach it to someone else. A change in point of view is a good thing.
