PROCRASTINATION : Deep Drive Into The Mind

Procrastination a word which is  relevant for all of us. We all are procrastinators , Yes let's just accept the truth Nobody love to work for something that won't reward you instantly.
There are many article on the internet that suggest you how to get rid of procrastination ! or  ways to stop procrastination ! but in most of the cases , All that wisdom won't really change our action because the we don't want to change.

We all know that completing the task at time is important, or doing exercise is good for health and if we waste our time today it will ruin our future. BUT why we are not doing all this thing.

for understanding this we have to take a deep drive into our mind. We need to understand how the mind works and the most important thing is that after all this procrastination habits that we have  how we manged to complete our jobs .

INSTANT GRATIFICATION

WE LOVE TO ENJOY, or in simple words we love the work which is easy and fun.Now if you are an animal then this is very good,  means that if you are a dog or monkey and you wasted all your life for enjoyments or spending all the time in doing what is easy and fun then  BOOM your are super successful. 

But as far as we humans are concern we have to work for our better future . we have to take some pain today to create a better tomorrow . is it so, BULLSHIT.

The above lines are a part of us that we showcase to the outer world but deep down inside who want's to scarifies today's enjoyment which is pretty sure for some thing in the near future which is unsure.

   And this is true let's assume  if we work so hard by killing our wiliness to enjoy then also the future is uncertain, Means after all that hard work also we can get exactly what we want . And we know this or we Believe it  from inside and that is the cause of every thing we call procrastination.

THEN HOW WE MANGED TO COMPLETE OUR WORK ?

Yes this is something we all do we procrastinate at the starting then work very very hard at the end to meet the DEADLINE .But have you ever think why we do so, Because we love rewards or should i say instant rewards. 

Let's assume you have an assignment to complete over the time period of 1 month than what will you do at the first day. It is obvious you will relax  OK but on the second day AAA relax again may we you started working on the 5th day if you are a pretty serious or dedicated type of person but then what happen is "NOTIFICATION" yes your mobile rings for an Facebook notification and you end up scrolling down the Facebook feed. But just think of it what will happened on the second last day you will work day and night  to complete the work , you still receive notifications but you don't have time to check out that because you have work to do or more certainly you have a deadline, Because if you don't complete this you have to face embarrassment in front of others or I should say like this if you complete the work you will get rewarded, their is sense of urgency either out of fear or because of getting a reward which makes you happy. 

Just think over it , isn't it something we already discussed which is know as INSTANT GRATIFICATION. I know when I mention the word INSTANT  GRATIFICATION most of you take that as a negative feeling but it is actually not like that. The real meaning of the word is feeling good instantly and that is what happens when you finish your work at time.

THEN WHAT IS THE REAL PROBLEM WITH PROCRASTINATION ?

Now many of you are asking one question that if INSTANT GRATIFICATION is good then what is the real problem.The real problem is considering something which we won't belief is important, or Those works that don't have any deadline 

• Relationship issues
• health issues.
• Changing a bad habit ...etc

The above mention things won't come with deadline means no sense of urgency or no fear of loosing any thing and no rewards.

It was like eating a burger will not make you fat tomorrow or doing exercise today will not give a muscular physic over night

But they Dose the opposite like its very easy to eat junk and it makes you feel good in the same way doing exercise is something very difficult and relaxing at bed is fun, and that what our mind loves to choose, And we call it procrastination.

HOW TO OVERCOME PROCRASTINATION ?

Now as you know the problem then you want a solution, then lets find out what we can really do to overcome procrastination.

I think you know it already it's your choice how will you apply it.

The mind won't change by force so, don't try to do it by will power. it wants to feel good then give it the reason to feel good. 

If you still don't get the point then I will make it more clear for you Break down your big goals into pieces then allocate some deadline to complete each and give some reward to yourself . 

THAT'S IT , IT WAS REALLY THAT SIMPLE.
