Focus on “when is the next time I can start?” and keep taking 1 small step at a time. Don’t try to finish an entire project, or work non-stop for 3 hours. Just aim for just 30 minutes of quality, focused work. You essentially establish a sense of safety by knowing that even in the worst imaginable situation you’ll be okay and have alternatives. This reduces your fear of failure and allows you to get started. 6. Change How You Talk to Yourself “The ambivalent self-talk of procrastination – ‘I should do it, but I don’t want to. I have to because they’re making me do it’ – communicates victimhood, resistance, stress, and confusion. Of all the characteristics that separate producers from procrastinators, none is more liberating than the producer’s focus on ‘choice’ and ‘choosing.’ Messages of ‘I choose,’ ‘I decide,’ or ‘I will’ direct energy toward a single personal goal with clear responsibility for the outcome.” “As you begin to speak to yourself in a language that focuses on results rather than blame, on choice rather than have to, on what is rather than what you think should be, you will find that your body and mind cooperate by providing a level of positive energy free from the unnecessary struggles of the past and negative comparisons with the future.” And not like what Neil suggested? Which is to fill in on my progress after I’ve completed 30 mins of work?

And so is the case with this book. This was a pretty good read. A friend recommended it and as procrastination has been one of my banes for a long time, I requested it from the library. This audiobook (not lengthy) offers a solid viewpoint into why we procrastinate. This makes it useful for individuals who struggle with procrastination and managers or colleagues of constant procrastinators.

Think small and focus on the process. Aim for thirty minutes of quality, focused, uninterrupted work. 10. Keep Starting. Take a break or reward yourself after each 30 minutes of quality work. This will create positive associations with your work instead of negative ones people who try to start projects, but end up staring at the screen after starting and deleting dozens of attempted opening lines Do you feel rushed, pressured, unhappy with your results at work? Do you miss deadlines for job and school applications? Lose sales because you fail to achieve your targets, and even have difficulties in your relationships due to continually stalling certain things? Let’s make a practical example. You want to study for an upcoming exam, but every time you intend to get started, you feel something that’s probably best described as resistance. This resistance can be any combination of boredom, frustration, fear, resentment, or any other negative emotion.

Oh my gosh, I'm in such a quandary. I know I never get round to things and overthink things to the extent that action become a distant concept. I need help. I recognise that.

Over time, you’ll find that you’re able to get more done in 30 minutes of deep work than in 2 hours of shallow work.”
