When you think of the term procrastination, negative thoughts usually come to mind. But did you know that there are good ways to procrastinate that can actually make you more successful than you already are? Experts say that it just depends on what you’re putting off until the next day. You are essentially a bad procrastinator if you avoid big, important tasks; you are a good one if you delay the smaller menial tasks. Let’s take a closer look on how we can perfect our procrastinating skills to become better human specimens.
Some say the most impressive people are the ones who procrastinate on less important things. It’s like the absent-minded professor syndrome when one forgets to take a shower, shave, or brush teeth, but you discover a new cure for cancer. There are 3 types of procrastinators: those who do nothing, those who engage in something less important, and those who do something more important. The last category includes the best people because they put off the small stuff to work on the big stuff. By small stuff I am referring to errands and basic house chores.
Some things will disappear if you ignore them such as friends when you don’t return their phone calls or respond to their emails. Other responsibilities will only mount up to bigger problems if you let them slide for too long. These may include tasks such as paying your bills or filing your taxes. The point being, you are only delaying the inevitable: it will catch up to you eventually. If you have to tackle a huge project, it is more beneficial to stall on some of those missions rather than crossing off meaningless items on a to-do list. Real work needs big blocks of time dedicated to it. For the most part, you have to be in the right frame of mind to focus properly.
Errands only kill big projects by constantly interrupting you. However, if you are disciplined enough, another good idea would be to designate a specified amount of time to the project each day. The problem with bigger projects is that most likely you don’t enjoy them and they can almost cause physical pain so you don’t want to tackle them right away. There is also a fear of wasting time and failing after you put so much time and effort into something. But the fact is that you will always learn something even if the intended goal has not been met. So, go ahead and procrastinate the good way!
