Mid-night
has passed. Everyone is sleeping in your house. Your mom has prepared your cozy
bed too. Your sleepy eyes are about to close. But Ahhh! You are not permitted
to sleep. Because it's the last night of your school's vacation and
procrastinating, you haven't completed your vacation work yet.
What
The Procrastination Is?
Procrastination
is delaying work to the deadline of the task without any obvious reason. You
have to put the effort into convincing yourself to do work. Nor could you take
off the burden of that work from your head. It starts to make you feel guilty
and unproductive.

Why
Do You Procrastinate?
Have
you ever thought about why you procrastinate?
Most
people procrastinate because that task doesn't seem interesting to them and
they think that they would not enjoy doing that work. Sometimes they think they
are not able to do that work well right now so they should wait until they get energy.
According
to Psychology, there are many reasons to procrastinate. Anxiety could be the
one reason or it might be the resistance to do unpleasant tasks. Low
self-confidence could also be the reason for procrastination.
How
to Deal With Procrastination
While
procrastinating, people give themselves excuses like that they can do it better
at the last moment under pressure but it is psychologically proved that it is
just an excuse to escape from reality.
If
you are pissed off by your procrastinated nature and want to get rid of it,
here is a technique for you to deal with it. That technique is "POMODORO"
POMODORO
Technique
POMODORO
is an Italian word for "Tomato". But do not be worried if you do not
like tomatoes, you can still use this technique.
It
is a time management system. You must have the curiosity to know about the
method for using it.
First,
you have to decide your task. After deciding, divide your task into 4 little
chunks. Then set an alarm for 25 minutes.
Now
start the first part of your task for 25 minutes. As the bell rings take five
minutes of break. You may take candy or drink a glass of water or check your
mail at this. Then start the second part of your task, then repeat the cycle.
After completing the 4 parts, take 15 to 30 minutes of a break then repeat the POMODORO
technique.
Bottom
Line
This
is a helpful technique, especially whenever you have to complete a long task or
prepare for exams. I would love to suggest that you give it a try and BOOM!
