[experience] this is how I overcome procrastination
Wen /Tosla's brother Crescent asked me: how does it feel to successfully overcome procrastination? I thought for a moment and said, it was awesome! I overcame procrastination about two years ago.
my younger brother asked me: how does it feel to successfully overcome procrastination?
I mused for a moment and said, it was awesome!
I overcame procrastination about two years ago, and there is no sign of recurrence. My criterion for overcoming procrastination is that you stop procrastinating and restrain your behavior when you feel "about to procrastinate." My whole life is on track.
I remember when I was suffering from procrastination, I couldn't do anything in my daily schedule. I spent the whole day reading comics /movies /staying at home. If there is something to do in learning, it is also temporary cramming, and the things produced are shoddy and unsightly. Because things are done badly, it leads to repeated setbacks in real life, which eventually leads to a loss of self-confidence and becomes more procrastinating. You decide that this road is worth taking, to make sure that within a month you will become a big LOSER, without a chance for a male goddess, a good figure, and a good result, and even stop thinking about the world of mortals.
above is my schedule for the cure of procrastination. Without procrastination, I immediately felt that there was more time. I could do a lot of things every day, such as exercise, reading, writing, a gathering of gay friends, and so on. In terms of appearance, I have also changed from a fat man of 185cm and 200 jin to a person with muscle but no fat, and I am no longer regarded by girls as a wretched mansion; in real life, the probability of success in doing things has been greatly improved. Over time, people's spirit will get better, one comes from the improvement of the body, the other comes from the improvement of self-confidence, and the last one is that there is more time, more things to learn, and more flexible brains.
my metamorphosis trajectory
the road to overcoming procrastination is long. The outsider stood by and said lightly, aren't you just lazy? You just don't work hard, don't you? Aren't you just gluttonous, lazy, and playful? Why can't you take care of yourselves?
Nowhere else you can find such a magnificent empire waist evening dresses. Enjoy shopping for that fabulous garment.
it's easy to say take care of yourself, but it's hard to do it. I have heard a saying that hard work is also a talent and a skill. Some people are trained through family education, some are born organized, and some are born with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Some people, such as me, become procrastinators. My guilt about procrastination is short-lived, just like some fat people who yell to lose weight every day but eat a lot of potato chips. At the bottom of my heart, he and I have already accepted the image of being lazy.
what prompted me to overcome procrastination was that EX ran away with a man. At that time, I was extremely sad and indignant, and she explained that she was depressed when she was with someone in such a depressed state as me. To avoid eventually becoming a bird of mine, she decided to leave me without hesitation.
I was so humiliated that I decided to overcome procrastination. I went to the bookstore to buy a lot of related books, bought a very beautiful and expensive book and pen, and signed up for the procrastination Society. A few weeks ago, I lived a very bloody life, and my mental state was similar to that of Li Yang, who sold Amway Crazy English. I was thinking about successful learning, willpower, and positive energy every day. When I read a few positive energy books every day, I feel that the small universe is burning. Attending procrastination meetings let me know my kind. I have a feeling that procrastination is not a terminal disease, just like a cold, many people have it. After some time, apart from becoming a neurotic accident, procrastination hasn't improved at all.
Why? The reason is simple. Under the inspiration of chicken blood, the brain worked hard to write a grand plan, just like reading the biography of Edison under the guidance of a teacher when I was a child, and immediately determined to be an inventor tomorrow. It's not planning, it's called daydreaming, the sequelae of loser YY, chicken soup. Procrastinators like me, who are terminally ill, are first inspired, then daydreamed, and finally, their dreams are broken. From then on, procrastination became more serious, and I gave up treatment.
give up treatment
once again, I am determined to treat procrastination because I want to apply for graduate school and high achiever becomes a roommate. The roommate is very cute, and many girls like him, but he is not interested in it. In addition to learning to read the literature, he is just running. It must be mentioned that he has a very good character and has no discrimination against me, such as a low achiever.
one day, when we were sitting at home eating cereal and milk, I asked him, how can we overcome procrastination?
high achiever said: then you have to be with me.
I was startled, Nima, is this a confession?
high achiever added: you learn with me.
if I say something casually, then follow.
a high achiever is a high achiever. He knocked on my door the next morning and ordered me to run with him. I was in a daze, so I went out in my running shoes. I ran 5 kilometers with high achievers in one breath and almost didn't die on the road. After the run, the high achiever was so satisfied with me that he treated me to a waffle.
when I got home, the high achiever asked me, what are my plans for today?
I think I'm good at this. Chicken blood is not in vain, Barabaldi said a lot.
high achiever said you can't do this. Just tell me two tasks you have to do today.
I said I'm going to write a song & amp; read a 100-page book.
high achiever said, OK if you don't do it, you wash the dishes tonight.
high achiever and I went back to our rooms to study. I lay down in my room at noon when a high achiever knocked on the door and asked me how my study was going. I said I haven't learned yet. He sat on my bed and said a lot of big things sadly. A high achiever is very virtuous. He comes to my room every 45 minutes. If I learn, he will give me fruit. If I don't, he will nag me like Uncle Tang. I think this should be similar to Pavlov's dog training method.
high achiever's treatment for me is as follows, check my plan every day, point out the irrationality, and then supervise my appointment. It's done. To do the dishes and do the housework, I washed the dishes 15 times in the first month. And high achiever usually likes to cook food such as curry, which is very easy to wash, unlike me, I take things out of the oven and eat them, and throw away the tin foil.
having said that, I finished the task for 15 days in a month. For a patient with severe procrastination, this is a big step forward. This month, I rarely completed most of my tasks on time. I was praised by professional teachers, and my application gradually got back on track.
by fighting procrastination with high achievers, I learned several key methods. First of all, do not have brain congestion, make a grand plan for yourself, you must start from childhood, the most important thing is to stick to it. Take weight loss as an example. Don't feel sure you can run every day and lose 30 jin a month. It must be unrealistic. A plan should be made three times a week with two fewer packs of potato chips and fewer hamburgers. We should start with insisting on small things, and then increase the number of tasks after success. One gulp can't make a fat man, and one buckle can't cure procrastination.
I would also like to say that a person's willpower is limited. Procrastinators, in particular, lead a decadent life all year round, and their willpower and determination have long been abandoned. Sometimes we want to do it, but we can't control our actions. In this case, it is best to find someone who can supervise and give you self-confidence. It is important to have the support of friends in such things as medical treatment. Just like injured patients, they will be given a crutch at the beginning, and then exercise more slowly to return to normal. The person who orders an injured person to run is a psychopath. Procrastination means that the injured person, friends, and family are your crutches.
the process of overcoming procrastination has gone through almost a year and a half, which is quite sad, and anything that needs to be against nature will not be too happy. Can support me to continue to fight, the reality of feedback has also given me a lot of help. That is, I found that there was no procrastination, my friends liked me more, my health became better, and my studies improved a lot. Besides, it feels so good to cross out a day's plan. When you keep doing and doing, reality will give you feedback, and you will find that you can do all the things that you thought were impossible. In my opinion, every time you overcome an obstacle, you should buy yourself some gifts and have a big meal as a compliment, and over time, procrastination will gradually get better. You can go back to normal.
the above is the personal experience in overcoming procrastination, and there is no professional psychological experience. You should not be surprised if you talk about vegans.
