procrastination: my arch enemy

[warzkaz]

has anyone experienced it ? and how did you overcome it?
I wanna do so much more in this life but this internal resistance is limiting me, every time I want to
hustle and be productive it's like there is an invisible force that is holding my back.

I'd highly appreciate any tips or book recommendation

Cut yourself off from things that have no purpose or value to doing more in your life. 

 

I know thats hard, but keep your mind focused on what you want to accomplish.

I have the same problem, but I'll deal with my procrastination when the time comes, preferably on my deathbed...

Give yourself a bigger project, and procrastinate on that.

But seriously , go get it done and then you can do anything you want ... 

 

Do something first than remind yourself I need to get this done before I can do priority , pretend your life will end if you don't get it done today ...

I always have the same mentality, I do my work first and after that I can do whatever I want.

depends what you are having problems procrastinating on. For busy work I set up a wunderlist to-do list so I feel accomplished when I complete it. For personal projects I normally find enough fun in them that I don't procrastinate. For studying I go somewhere with no distractions and put on an hour long white noise "song". That way I know I have an hour without bringing a clock/phone in.

It is usually preceding a depressive episode for me, lasting anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.

I set small goals, and allow myself a reward when I accomplish them. Like when I moved out on my own, my focus was to live frugally and save money, but every time I paid rent, I'd go get dinner at my favorite restaurant. Right now, I'm studying for a networking certification. I have a set amount of time that I read each night, and if by the weekend I have done all my reading, I go out and have fun for a night.

Smaller goals are easier to achieve. "I'm going to study for an hour tonight, then I'll watch the new LTT video"

"I'm going to write 500 words of this essay before I play Rocket League"

"I'm going to run one mile, then turn on my music for the second."
