Are you bad for procrastination? We are all guilty of it and it can be a real problem when you want to get important things done; such as studying. Yo should have finished the module 5: Looking after #1 in which we look at procrastinantion, but it’s well worth coming back to and this hack looks well worth it. LifeHack.org (They have 10 other ways on this page too!)
Finish Your Day Before It Starts
The best decision you can make to avoid procrastination is to plan your days in advance.
Rather than frantically figuring out what you’ll do on any given day, a better way to approach your day would be to take a few minutes at the end of each day to quickly map out the following day.
For example, every night, before bed, I write down/review my plans for the next day, which include:
- My One BIG Thing (OBT) that needs to get done that day. This could be a big task, a goal, or a project I need to make progress on.[1]
- My No Matter Whats (NMWs) — these are my non-negotiable daily habits: exercise, my nature walk/daily meditation, reading (30 minutes minimum), mastery-related work, and time spent with the people I love.
Whatever else needs to be done the following day. This way, my most important goals, and projects are given ample time to be crushed—and to not be procrastinated on.
