5: Are You a Procrastinator or a Pre-Crastinator?
When we pre-crastinate, we get tasks out of the way very quickly, rather
than waiting on them. I tend to pre-creastinate on more trivial tasks,
while I continue to procrastinate on serious goals. Pre-crastination can
ease our mental burdens and make us feel temporarily accomplished for
having achieved a small goal. One potential way to harness the positive
effects of pre-crastination is to break down our big goals (the ones we
tend to procrastinate on) into smaller, manageable chunks. That way, we can
still benefit from confidence boost of more frequent accomplishments while
tricking ourselves into making progress on our real, procrastinatory goals.
