Procrastination is an inconspicuous disease that affects a person's reputation. Forcing yourself to do anything can be so difficult that it cannot be described in words.
What can we say about when you need to do something you don't want to do? The brain will come up with a thousand excuses, just to not do anything anymore.
The 10 Minute Rule
This is the easiest way to force yourself to start moving and doing something uninteresting, at least for a short period of time.
As your stubborn brain begins to give in, you can increase the time intervals, even if you have to sit there with a stopwatch in your hands.
How to proceed
If you have to do something you don't want to, just tell yourself that you will do it for 10 minutes.
Be sure to reward yourself with a rest after 10 minutes of hard work, and then as circumstances dictate.
How does this work
Folk wisdom says that the beginning is the worst. But once you start, it turns out that everything is not so difficult, scary and does not contradict human nature at all.
If you can’t get started with work right away, try to continue it, feeding your brain with breaks and increasing the intervals of work.
It is important to remember that procrastination is not just a habit of putting off important things for later. Gradually, against the background of the disease, dissatisfaction with life develops.
