Who will procrastinate?
1. The Thrill seeker

• Adrenaline kick, they enjoy.
2. The Avoider is one who will find very difficult to come out of comfort zone.
What others will think of us?
3. Indecisive thinkers, too much thinking, what if negative outcome comes, fear of failure, these
people delegate others to do, will not take responsibility.
4. Perfectionist : Expect High standards
5. Busy: I thought of starting a YouTube channel kept postponing getting all relevant collaterals.
1. Thrill Seeker – Set constant deadline.

Announce to others. They will catch hold of you. Focus on rewards. Attach small rewards.
Cultivate self discipline.
2. Avoiders – Break dreadful in to bits. Find a buddy. It may be small by achieving small target
they will enjoy. Few of my friends share digitally after Zumba Dance to ensure they do. Self
Relect, check everyday what you plan what you actually did. (Review yourself) Cultivate Self
Motivation
3. The Indecisive – Apply decision making. Split the task. Breathing exercises like meditation etc.,
Cultivate self confidence
4. The Perfectionist – Do realistic than ideal. (Just go with the reality, instead of going to fantasy
world, see what we can do with what we have) Smaller to do list. One mistake / day. They will
learn to accept mistake. Cultivate self acceptance
5. The Busy – Timer based activities. (Sand clock may be used to finish small work) Smaller to do
list. Percentage game will work for them. Task like Reorder level. Cultivate saying No.
Figure out where you belong to. Try to apply whichever gives you result try intensely.
How to beat Procrastination quickly?
• Postpone the Procrastination.

If you think you want to procrastinate do it once and next time prepone the same.
• Break in to small chunks.
Tiny habits. Instead of focusing in Goal Focus in Process
• Begin with Zeigarnik effect.
A waiter takes orders simultaneously and execute perfectly. The waiter remembers the order
execution only up to when the process is complete.
If we start cleaning the house automatically you will feel like what next and complete
• Be kind to yourself.
Self appreciation will work.
• Tune into Why – 3 H (Head, Heart, Hand - cordination)
ONLY YOU DESIRE TO COME OUT OF PROCRASTINATION THIS WILL WORK.
10 steps for Remedies (How to come out of the Habit - Procrastination)
1. Pro Awareness. During this lockdown we accept this way of life and go along with this.
What you missed today? Book reading, exercise etc., Plan accordingly. Write and see it. See-
Listen-write (type). Rest room is where your sensory organ will be highly stimulated.
2. Name it – Close your eyes recall the one which you postpone. Give a crazy name to that person
who postpone (pulla Kai example).
3. Give yourself a PUSH - Nobody is going to push for ourselves. We have to push ourself
4. Develop FANATIC Skill – I mob in different way at my house daily. Cleaning gives good feel
5. WIN the morning – Never snooze the alarm, set right the bed the moment you wake up
6. Become a GREAT problem solver – Review, evaluate the options. Test and evaluate
7. Kick start (give a crazy to yourself) demand your inner self and confront yourself
8. Brain-Dump Journal. Write and do other things again write till you empty your brain.
9. Role model Decision Making – Think about the role model you like think what your role model
will do in similar situation. Association disassociation
10. Record the achievements. Like ‘Hall of Fame’ / Wall of Fame.
You can start from anywhere even if you start one it will work wonder.
