Procrastination and how to solve

Mods move if you see fit..

The last few months I have been procrastinating

Not just at work but many things and I can’t seem to get myself out of it.. I find that I am not focusing fully at work and don’t want to be picked up at work as I am a contractor. so not good at what i do then it will be bye bye confi ..
:smack:
I waste my time online and watching TV and just letting things get on top of me even to the point that when I do actually get the task done I wonder why I delayed it so long

So please Guppie’s tell me are there are any serial procrastinators out there or better yet those who have overcome this hurdle and what methods have you used to get out of this mindset

^meeting people and talking to them helps me stay away from the virtual world of internet...but then I don't really get along with most people. :(

Re: Procrastination and how to solve

Sigh Confucious am going through the same. Probably it's related to the pregnancy blues too for me. But I seriously procrastinate alot. I keep pushing things off till deadlines and then I get all panicky. And this has made me kind of anti-social too. I want to meet a few friends or relatives and I keep delaying the visits deliberately and then it gets too late and people start thinking I have become super mean and indifferent :p

Re: Procrastination and how to solve

Hareem I can totally relate to this. People find me quite friendly and I manage to talk to everybody comfortably on any topic of interest but very very few people are the ones I get along well enough to actually go out and meet them all more often. For me most of these get togethers and parties become formal social calls/duties :(

it's a mental disorder and if it doesn't end within a reasonable time, you must see a psychiatrist. ok? :)

Sometimes I think it’s the lifestyle in Western countries that’s pretty boring and cold and makes you feel grumpy. :grumpy:

Re: Procrastination and how to solve

u might need a break to get re-energize and focus back on things. When was the last time you took vacation and by vacation I men vacation and not off from work for some other work?

Re: Procrastination and how to solve

i do that alot too :( dont know how to solve it.

Re: Procrastination and how to solve

Its even worse for me. I normally stay quiet & reserved when I meet some one the first time. I become comfortable after a while & till then i mostly across as some one with an attitude which i actually dont have. I cant be all super friendly when its just hit it off; I take my time.

Re: Procrastination and how to solve

You took the words out of my mouth and You know what makes it worse, when I haven't kept in touch with a friend for a long time and then I actualy feel like I should contact them and I am worried about rekindling the friendship incase they ask what took you so long or become negative and like you said think I am indifferent :(

I have started to read the now habit.. I have decided to get through the whole book..

Re: Procrastination and how to solve

Decent bhai.. I spent 6 months in Pk , weekends hubby would come back form Uni and the other days at home with the inlaws and I hated it more for being vacant.. I take enough breaks but can't seem to get rid of this laziness.
