Procrastination; a word that is so difficult to pronounce that you will end up procrastinating while pronouncing it. The word procrastination means :- "The action of delaying or postponing something" Have you ever been in one of those situations where you wake up early and you are brushing your teeth and getting ready for the day that's when you realise that it was all just in your dream and that you weren't brushing your teeth for real? This post is exactly for such pros.
Right now as you all know that we are in the middle of the pandemic and most of us are indoors, we do have a lot of stuffs pending down our lists but as we have time in hand, we might as well 'delay' and 'postpone' our duties. This makes us the lazy Pandas of the PANDAmic (creative isn't it!). The problem is not just yours or your neighbour's but also mine. So let me share a little bit of my Panda-like behavioural traits with you.
I have been having procrastination problems since my school and college times. Now, during this quarantine, like many of us I have kept many short term goals for myself which include skincare, workout, research work and of course writing this blog. The thing is I have so much time in hand therefore, I just let go of my goals, kick back, relax and take a chill pill about them. Instead,you will find me watching videos, listening to music, dancing around or give silly excuses like " OMG! I have to cook food so I will do my task later" or "I have to clean my bedroom/ wardrobe" etc etc, even worse I end up doing none of those chores mentioned above. The evilest of all companions of my procrastination is waking up late, PS: this is the best excuse I give myself to delay all my tasks. My alter ego tells me "no problem if I woke up late, I can definitely do it tomorrow." God knows how many 'tomorrows' have I skipped this way, all of them have turned into 'todays'.Sigh!. And then the same old 'eat, sleep, repeat' cycle continues. Sometimes I feel like cancelling this year and running away to the Himalayas, but that is not possible.
So, after all the above ranting I finally worked upon a solution. Firstly, keep a positive mindset. Well, using self - abusive words doesn't do any good to complete any task, so it is better not to use them. I used to call myself a "Queen Procrastinator" but now I just stick to "Queen" *wink*. Secondly, jump right into your tasks. It maybe any task from your list (if you made one) just jump into it. I make sure my limbs are moving to complete a particular goal in mind and not wait around for Mrs. Motivation to push me. Just Do It! as Nike says. Thirdly, as far as waking up early is concerned, for me it works one way, sleep early. Do any of those life hacks over the internet but sleep early. I usually go to bed early, I may not fall asleep instantly but it works well instead of wasting my time on social media. Also, waking up early gives me enough time to jump into my tasks and complete them systematically.
Pandas are really cute tbh! but you don't wanna turn into one do you? Now the onus is on you. These were a few tips I curated for myself as I was turning into a pro-procrastinator. Do let me know in the comments below if you have more tips to share. Also, please do subscribe to my blog and suggest any topic you want to hear about. Till then Buh-Bye!
