Anyway, let’s just say that procrastination is like a disease that ails us all. It’s programmed into our genes and in the new age of Twitter, Facebook, MSN and public transport.. there is no end to the number of things we could waste our time on – don’t get me started on Wikipedia! Being young and useless is a tough battle with time.

Procrastination might not be so natural as we see it to be either, it could be the result of tiredness from unhealthy habits, or it could just be fear of starting something which seems daunting. One more thing it could be is the result of severe underestimation of the time it might take to complete something. I’m guilty of all three!

Ways to improve this though, could be;

Sleeping better: Finding an 8 hour slot that can be consistently used for sleeping. I recommend sleeping during the night, but that may not work for everyone. Either way, keep it to a routine of sorts. It stops lethargy from getting to you. It’s also known that a lack of sleep for prolonged amounts of time leads to unhappiness in general. So be happy, sleep on routine.

So if you’re having some relationship problems, extreme pms or stressing out lately, the answer might be as simple as you’re not getting enough sleep. Ergo, before you break up with someone, rage out and bomb Iraq or commit suicide just promise me you’ll try to sleep better first. I know for one, I’m scared of that silence in the time it takes me to fall asleep – I guess my remedy is in realising that I do need to think about what bothers me instead of ignoring it and dragging myself through the muddy waters of procrastination. Attack the source, don’t look for quick fixes because they can become addictive and before you know it you’re 76 and have prostate problems.

Sleep is also known to make you more alert and able to absorb information more efficiently. So to maximise your study time or lecture time, SLEEP! Finally, for all those looking to lose weight – sleep helps there too ;) Reduce your stress,  your risk of cancer, diabeties and inflammation, improve your memory and keep your heart healthy with 5 simple letters. I need to take my own advice but it seems like something so simple really helps take you a long way. Why purposely sabotage yourself, you know?

Meditating: And I don’t mean any of that “ohm” stuff, unless that really floats your boat. I mean taking some time in the morning before you wake up to breathe and think about what you need to do. And perhaps before you sleep, think and let yourself absorb what has happened. There’s no point keeping thoughts bottled up as they also lead to procrastination or worse – mass murder shoot outs in America.

Hehe

If you really feel you have too much on your mind, writing things out really helps because then it seems as though it’s more managable and looks as though it’s contained instead of just floating around in your head!

Be realistic: When you decide to do something, go a tiny bit overboard but don’t assume you’re going to assasinate Bin Ladin if you’re still sitting around in Australia and cannot afford the taxi to the airport let alone the plane ticket to wherever he is. Make a list of things to do today, and tomorrow, but leave it at that..

How realistic does that spider look!!

Lastly, Get the fuck off WordPress: … :P
