The Problem: Why Do We Procrastinate?
From anxiety and anger, to procrastination and breakups, we’ve developed a range of scientifically-backed techniques that really help with behavior change. Although we don’t adhere to a single school of thought, we collaborate with independent experts to help users through their complicated and busy lives, and anytime users want to dive a little deeper they can access the research we cite!
Boredom and Its Variants
Boredom is a common trigger for procrastination, occurring when a task doesn’t fully engage our attention or lacks personal significance. Understanding the type of boredom you experience can help in applying the right strategies to stay focused.
Guilt-Induced Procrastination
Guilt often follows procrastination, creating a cycle where avoidance leads to more guilt, which then leads to further procrastination. Recognizing and releasing this guilt is essential to breaking the cycle and moving forward.
Anxiety and Fear of Failure
Anxiety, particularly the fear of failure, is another significant factor. The anticipation of poor performance can lead to task avoidance, reinforcing procrastination. Shifting your focus from perfection to progress and seeking regular feedback can help overcome this.
Ahead’s Techniques to Combat Procrastination
Technique 1: Eat Your Frog
Start your day by tackling the most challenging task first, when you’re at your mental peak. This prevents procrastination by addressing difficult tasks early, setting a productive tone for the day.
Technique 3: Release Task Guilt
Let go of the guilt that often follows procrastination. By recognizing that tasks are morally neutral and it’s okay to make mistakes, you can adopt a more positive, proactive approach to getting things done.
