How Do You Deal With Procrastination?

We should keep telling ourselves that there's not going to be some right time for completing this task. We should make it today and NOW!! :)

I'll get back to you on that!

The first thing you need to ask yourself is: what kind of person am I? Specifically, do I like to do things under stress because I have waited so long to do what I needed to do or do I like to take my time? Most likely, if you are a procastinator, you will do things under stress because the stress you get from knowing you need to do something will motivate you. Personally, I don't like to do things under stress because in my view, I don't do things well under stress. So, I tend not to procrastinate. Yet, there are times when I do so. why is that? It happens when I usually have to do something very unpleasant or very boring. I can't stand the idea of doing it now because I want to relax or do something else. In the back of my mind, I know I will eventually need to do it, but mentally I can't deal with the unpleasant nature of the task. So, if something can wait, I will weigh whether or not, I need to do it now or later. If I recognize that I need to do it now rather than later, I say to myself that once I have it done, then it's done and now I can do whatever I want. So, say to yourself that once you do what you need to do, you will reward yourself. That's positive reinforcement applied to oneself.
