SUMMARY:What are you putting off at work?
DESCRIPTION:Deal with it this week.\nI’ll do it next week…\nI read somewhere that procrastination isn’t born out of laziness, rather it\nstems from a sense of anxiety associated to the task you’re putting off. This\nwas a real eye opener for me as I see procrastination, the act of putting things\noff, perceived as lazy or the avoidance of things less exciting.\nBut if it comes from a place of anxiety isn’t this a wholly different perspective?\nWhat am I anxious about when I put off something at work?\nMy skill set?\nWhat the other person will say?\nWhat is it goes wrong?\nI’ll just email them instead.\nMy profile as a person suggests I dislike conflict and will shy away from it. So\nanything that could create a risk of exposing this is something I naturally shy\naway from.\nBut just because I shy away from it doesn’t mean the requirement for the task\nto be done goes away. So instead it plays on my mind all day, and then I might\ntake the stress home with me because I know I didn’t do it. I’ll do it tomorrow\nI tell myself. Before the cycle starts again.\nEat that frog! So what to do about it? Well, one thing I practice is the eat that\nfrog approach. It’s a tactic (and a book by the same name) that suggests we\nidentify what our tasks are, decide which is the ugly frog (the one we hate\ndoing the most!) and we get it done first. Not second, not after lunch, not after\nthe meeting or the planning session which you love doing…get it done first.\nI tell you what I found? Once you get in to this habit I find the rest of the day\ngoes so much better and I have a little more bounce in my step because\nthe day ahead looks so much better now. And I also don’t take this baggage\nhome with me.\nHappier at home, happier at work. Win win.\n
