About Procrastination

What is procrastination?

Procrastination is the act of procrastinating, putting tasks off to a future, delaying, deferring, postponing, not getting around to tasks.

Synonyms: cunctation, shillyshally, dilatoriness

According to the Random House Webster's dictionary, the verb procrastinate has following synonyms: delay, stall, play for time, temporize, kill time, dally, tarry, loiter, dillydally, dawdle, waste time, twiddle one's thumbs, linger, drag one's feet; put off action, defer, postpone, adjourn, put on ice, wait till tomorrow; hesitate, hold back, hang back, lag, bedilatory.

How to solve procrastination?

There is no magical pill to stop procrastination, off course. But this works for some people, and is unbelievably easy at first sight.

Just relax for a moment, let your thoughts settle down. Think about your tasks and goals.

What do you say to yourself when planning your day, when starting work on a new task, what is your self talk when thinking about all the things that you have to do today?

Is it:
I have to do..... I shall do .......
I must do..... I need to do.......
They want me to do......
I could try.......

What about making a simple change?

I WANT to do......
I WILL do......

The list of items to do might change sometimes. Some of them simply don't fit into the new sentence, into the "I want". Just let them disappear together with a big portion of your former procrastination problem -- if you can.

Cartoon Character Design Designing a cartoon character means not only sketching the look of the character but also figuring out all the character?s traits and personality.
