Learn How To Stop Procrastination

By Tom Chadwick


If you procrastinate then you need to stop procrastination problems before they have a profoundly negative effect on your life. A procrastinator often struggles because he or she puts things off. Some procrastinators find that they are procrastinating in just one area of their life, such as work, while other procrastinators find that they delay necessary tasks in all areas of their lives. Either way, procrastinating can cause problems and should be stopped. Procrastinating may be so ingrained for some people that they do not even know that they are doing it and that makes stopping difficult. However, treatment for procrastination is available and can help people quit this bad habit. Effective anti-procrastination techniques include NLP and hypnotherapy.

So how do we stop procrastinating? We need to realize that we are doing it in the first place. Human nature allows us to do things and then disguise them as other issues. We tend to make excuses for our bad habits and usually end up blaming them onto other things or people. So the first step in learning to stop procrastinating is to identify that we are procrastinating.

So what exactly is procrastination? Procrastination is when a person literally avoids doing a task that they know they should be doing. It could be any task, from making a simple phone call to someone, or losing weight, to more important issues such as finishing a duty in the workplace that may cause you to lose your job if it isn't completed.Procrastination is a bad habit that usually has bad end results from doing it. If this sounds familiar, then it may be time for you to learn to stop procrastinating.

Why do People procrastinate? There are many, many reasons why we do it. A Study at a prominent University showed that 90% of the college students enrolled there were guilty of procrastination. The dropout rate of students that procrastinate is high, as well.The reasons range from many different problems, however, Laziness is not one of them. We tend to think that people who procrastinate are lazy and that is just not the case. There is usually an underlying problem.

I was working with a friend recently who wanted to lose weight. She had identified that she needed to do exercise to help her achieve this. Unfortunately she always found a way to get out of the exercise and wanted desperately to stop procrastinating. I asked her to tell me what losing weight would do for her. She said she would feel more comfortable in her clothes; that shopping for clothes would be more pleasurable, she would feel more attractive and she would feel happy that she was doing something to improve her health.

Treatment is Necessary It is extremely difficult to change a pattern of procrastination without help. However, it is often the procrastinators who put off seeking help to stop the problem. Some procrastinators may delay seeking treatment because they do not want to examine the reasons why they procrastinate.

NLP and Hypnotherapy It is not always necessary, nor desirable, for people to examine why they procrastinate. That is why the methodologies of Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) and hypnotherapy are successful treatments for some people.

So to stop procrastinating we must first set goals in our lives. We need to figure out what it is that we want to achieve, and then make a list of goals. They need to be realistic goals that we can achieve. If we set them too high we are setting ourselves up for a disaster.After we set our goals we need to commit to doing them. That is the hard part, but if we can understand that we are procrastinating and why, it will be much easier to learn to stop procrastinating.
