Once you use the 6 steps mentioned in The Help - Procrastination and Time Management (pt. 1), it's time to create a new schedule. Record all the work you do and take credit for it. Commit time to recreational activities, breaks, meals, sport, socialising and play.
- Exercise, dance or play at least one hour per day
- Try to take one day off from work if possible
- Use the Pomodoro technique and do 25 minutes of quality work at a time
- Work for an imperfect human first effort
If you schedule your play you will end up wanting to work more. It's important not to criticise yourself: try to reframe negative impulses with positive exercises. Your new schedule should include:
- Meals, Sleep, meetings
- Free time, recreation, leisure reading
- Socialising
- Health activities and sports
- Travel and classes/work
- 25 minutes of focused quality work followed by 5 minute breaks
It can also be useful for you to try meditation and visualisation. Let go of what
can´t be achieved or started now. Recognise procrastination and commit to your
goal knowing there are costs in working towards what you want. Taking action will bring you long term satisfaction and benefits.
