Therapist Approved Tips

 

As you have probably learned, frequent procrastination can cause serious problems at work or school. Thankfully, this behavior can be changed using the principles of psychology.

Here are some therapist-approved tips to help you stop procrastinating for good:

⭐️ Remind yourself of your goals and weigh the amount of effort necessary to meet those goals.

⭐️ "Eat the frog." In other words, start with your most dreaded task. After completing the most challenging task first, your remaining tasks will seem easier by comparison.

⭐️ Break large tasks into small, manageable steps. Give yourself a small reward each time you complete a step, such as a piece of candy or a short break.

If you still struggle with procrastination after implementing these tips, it's worth asking whether perfectionism and anxiety could be to blame. Sometimes, we dread starting a task because we fear our work will not meet our own impossibly high standards.
