Why your brain loves procrastination? 1. Procrastination as a coping mechanism People tend to procrastinate to avoid emotionally unpleasant tasks - so they choose to focus on something that provides a temporary mood boost. This creates a vicious cycle: procrastination itself causes shame and guilt — which in turn leads people to procrastinate even further. 2.The science behind getting started Progress on our goals feeds our well-being. So the most important thing to do is bootstrap a little progress: get a little progress, and that’s going to fuel your well-being and your motivation. 3.Implementation intentions for better focus This is a self-regulatory strategy in the form of an "if-then plan": "If the phone rings, then I’m not going to answer it." "If my friends call me to say we’re going out, I’m going to say no." So you’ve already made these pre-commitments. @him-eesh madaan @Abby Viral #timemanagement #productivity Facebook : https://m.facebook.com/aoneshows Instragram : https://www.instagram.com/Aoneshows/ Twitter : https://mobile.twitter.com/aoneshows
