Even when we say we are &#8216;prioritizing&#8217;, we are still perpetually delaying some tasks. Given our energy is limited, is it humanly possible to completely beat procrastination? If not, how does one come to terms with it?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I don\u2019t know of a single person who never procrastinates. There are some people who never procrastinate on certain things (e.g. they never miss the gym, they always wake up right away or they\u2019re quick to get to work) but even the most productive people procrastinate on certain things.<\/p>\n<p>The basic logic behind procrastination is that you\u2019ll delay working on something if the aversion to working on it (or the pull to distract yourself) is greater than your motivation to work on that thing. This is why a lot of us get chores done at the last possible moment. <strong>It\u2019s only when the consequences of not meeting the deadline are so strong that you\u2019re motivated enough to start doing an unpleasant task.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This basic pattern doesn\u2019t go away, so procrastination will always be with you. However, the flip side of that, is that once you recognize the pattern you can take steps to reduce the impact of procrastination. It won\u2019t mean you\u2019ll never procrastinate, but it will give you a path for handling procrastination when you do.<\/p>\n<p>If taking action happens only when motivation &gt; aversion, then there\u2019s two ways you can combat procrastination:<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Increase motivation. <\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"511\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scotthyoung.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-07-1-1-1024x511.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9965\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scotthyoung.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-07-1-1-1024x511.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.scotthyoung.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-07-1-1-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.scotthyoung.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-07-1-1-768x383.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.scotthyoung.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-07-1-1.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Deadlines are one way to do this. <\/strong>Setting difficult goals that will <em>only<\/em> be met if you stay on schedule is another way you can motivate yourself. Sometimes even just thinking about your goal or the outcome you\u2019re after can push you forward and create motivation. When I\u2019m working on big projects that have a lot of difficult work, I like to try to set challenging goals, and then break them down into smaller and smaller increments until there\u2019s always something I need to do <em>right now<\/em> to complete on time. <\/p>\n<p>The problem with just increasing motivation is that it\u2019s sometimes fragile. If you turn up the pressure too much, you may crack, as can happen when you miss one deadline so the pressure to meet future deadlines starts decreasing<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Decreasing aversion<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"351\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scotthyoung.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-07-1-2-1024x351.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9966\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scotthyoung.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-07-1-2-1024x351.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.scotthyoung.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-07-1-2-300x103.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.scotthyoung.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-07-1-2-768x263.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.scotthyoung.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-07-1-2.jpg 1700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>If you can make the task you\u2019re facing more pleasant, you\u2019ll be less likely to procrastinate. <strong>The Pomodoro Technique is a classic tool here.<\/strong> While contemplating working on an essay, math problem or difficult project can be enough to make you procrastinate, working for twenty minutes only is a lot more pleasant.
