If you are a procrastinator, you may waste a lot of valuable time. This kind of person will spend a lot of time thinking about what to do, worrying about this and that, making excuses to postpone action and regretting not completing the task. During this time, in fact, they could have completed the task and should have moved on to the next job.
There are several ways to deal with procrastination effectively.
One is to determine whether a task must be completed. Sometimes, we feel that a task is not important, so we procrastinate. If the task is really unimportant, just cancel it, not delay and regret it. An important part of allocating time effectively is to cancel unnecessary tasks, and you should eliminate chaos from your schedule.
The second is to delegate the task to others. Sometimes, the task can be completed, but you don't like to do it. Your unwillingness may be related to your personality or professional knowledge. If you entrust the task to someone who is more suitable and willing to do it, you and he will both be winners.
The third is to find out what the benefits are and then take action. We often procrastinate because we don't see the benefits of completing an unpleasant task. In other words, it seems that the cost we pay when doing this task is higher than the income we get after completing this task. The best way to deal with this problem is to analyze this task from the perspective of your goals and ideals. If you have a big goal, it is easier for you to work hard to accomplish the tasks that will help you achieve it.
The fourth is to form good habits. Many people have developed the habit of procrastination. For these people, all the reasons for completing a task are not enough to make them give up this negative work mode. If you have this problem, you have to retrain yourself. Replace the bad habit of procrastination with good habits. Whenever you find yourself procrastinating again, calm down and think about it, determine your direction of action, and then ask yourself a question: "When can I finish this task at the earliest?" Set a deadline and try to keep it. Gradually, your working mode will also change.
"When you plant actions, you will gain habits; If you plant habits, you will gain character; Psychologist and philosopher william james said, "If you plant your character, you will reap your destiny." . What he means is that habits make a person, you can choose your own habits, and you can form any habit you want when using the motto.
After saying "do it now", as long as there is breath, you must practice it. Every time you have to act, from your subconscious to your consciousness, you are asking "act now". You should act immediately.
Please get into the habit of practicing "do it now" from small things, so that you will soon form a strong habit and "master it at once" at critical moments or when you have the opportunity.
Action can change a person's attitude, change him from negative to positive, and turn a bad day into a happy day.
Zhuogen Juda is a student at the University of Copenhagen, and that's what he did. One summer vacation, he worked as a tour guide. Because he is always willing to do many extra services, several tourists from Chicago invited him to travel to the United States. The itinerary includes a one-day stop in Washington on the way to Chicago.
When Drogan arrived in Washington, he checked into Willard Hotel, where his bill was prepaid. He is really happy at this moment. There is a plane ticket to Chicago in his coat pocket, and a passport and some money in his trousers pocket. Then the young man suddenly met with a bolt from the blue.
When he was getting ready for bed, he found his wallet missing. He ran to the counter at once.
"We will try our best to find a way." The manager said.
I still couldn't find it the next morning. Zhuogen's pocket money is less than two yuan. What should I do if I stay abroad alone? Telegram your friends in Chicago and ask them for help? Or go to the Danish embassy to report the loss of your passport? Or sit in the police station and wait?
He suddenly said to himself, "No, I can't do these things." I want to have a good look at Washington. Maybe I won't have a chance to come again in the future, but I still have a precious day to stay in this country. Fortunately, there are still tickets to Chicago tonight, so there must be time to solve the passport and money problems.
"I'm still the same person. I was happy then, and I should be happy now. I can't waste time, now is a good time to enjoy it. "
So he set off at once, visited the White House and Capitol Hill on foot, visited several big museums, and boarded the roof of the Washington Memorial. He can't go to Arlington and many other places he wants to go, but he has seen everything more carefully. He bought peanuts and sweets and ate them bit by bit to avoid starvation.
When he returned to Denmark, what he remembered most about his trip to the United States was the day he walked in Washington-that day, if he didn't use the secret of doing things, he would slip away in vain. "Now" is the best time, and he knows to catch it before it becomes "I could have".
Finish his story here by the way. Just five days after the eventful day, the Washington police found his wallet and passport and returned them to him.
In short, if you make up your mind to do it at once, it will often stimulate your potential and make your most ardent dreams come true. That's what Monroe Shi Huaizhe did.
Swiss people like hunting and fishing very much. His favorite life is to walk 50 miles into the forest with a fishing rod and a shotgun, and then come back a few days later, exhausted and covered in mud.
The only inconvenience of this hobby is that he is an insurance salesman and it takes too much time to hunt and fish. One day, when he reluctantly left his beloved perch lake and was ready to go home, it suddenly occurred to him, will there be any residents in this barren land who need insurance? So he can work and play outdoors at the same time? As a result, he found such people: they were employees of Alaska Railway Company. They are scattered on 500 miles of tracks along the route. Can he ask these railway workers, hunters and gold diggers for insurance along the railway?
Schwaetzer has been actively planning since the day he thought of this idea. After he inquired from the travel agency, he began to pack. He didn't stop to let his fear take advantage of his weakness, scaring himself would make his idea ridiculous in the future and think it might fail. He didn't hesitate to make excuses. He just went to the "West Lake" in Alaska by boat.
Stweetzer walked along the railway several times. People there called him "Swiss on foot" and he became the most popular person in those isolated families. At the same time, he also represents the outside world. Not only that, he also learned to get a haircut and serve the local people for free. He also learned to cook by himself. As those bachelors are tired of canned food and bacon, his skills certainly make him the most popular guest. At the same time, he is doing a natural thing, doing what he wants to do: traveling between Shan Ye, hunting, fishing, and-as he said-"living a Swiss life".
In the life insurance industry, people who sell more than 6.5438+0 million yuan a year have a glorious special title called "Million Round Table". The most unusual and surprising thing in Monroe Shi Huaizhe's story is that he put a whim into practice, set off for the wilderness of Alaska, and made a million-dollar business within one year along the railway that no one wanted to come, thus winning a seat on the "round table". None of this would have happened if he had the slightest hesitation about the secret of doing things when he had a whim.
Doing it now will affect every aspect of your life. It can help you do what you should do but don't like to do. It can teach you not to procrastinate when you encounter boring responsibilities. But it can also be like helping Monroe Shi Huaizhe. Once you miss this moment, you may never meet it again.
Please remember this sentence: "Do it now!"
