Now, in order to use procrastination in our advantage, we can try to set up a less “painful” task that is still productive. Instead of procrastinating and doing nothing productive, now we at least do something productive. A very simple example of mine revolves around writing and reading. I like to write and read, but I absolutely dread to start such a process. Writing, however, seems to be more “dreadful” than reading, probably because it requires a lot more thinking and energy. So what do I do? I allow myself to procrastinate by doing something else: reading. Maybe not exactly what I have planned, but it’s still productive. Again to clarify, starting a process usually is the most “painful” part. After a minute or so, the pain usually goes away. What are some things giving you the feeling of procrastination? And how can you use that to your advantage to do something else that’s also productive? If you liked this article, you will probably like this one too:
