How to Handle Procrastination

Source: James Clear.

The Two Minute Rule by David Allen

- best for small tasks such as chores and smaller work tasks (sending emails, sharing feedback, etc)

- Small wins mindset

1. The two-minute rule aims to banish procrastination and help people accomplish small tasks.

2. Here’s what the rule says: if you can do an action in two minutes or less, tackle it at the moment — and don’t delay. This has the potential to deliver long-term benefits.

Temptation Bundling

- habit stacking method

1. Temptation bundling is a concept that came out of behavioral economics research performed by Katy Milkman at The University of Pennsylvania. Simply put, the strategy suggests that you bundle a behavior that is good for you in the long-run with a behavior that feels good in the short-run.

2. Only do (what you love) while doing (what you’re procrastinating).

Eg: only do (pedicures) while (answering work emails).

Only (watch your fave tv show) while (ironing your clothes).

The Ivy Lee Method

1. At the end of each work day, write down the six most important things you need to accomplish tomorrow. Do not write down more than six tasks.

2. Prioritize those six items in order of their true importance.

3. When you arrive tomorrow, concentrate only on the first task. Work until the first task is finished before moving on to the second task.

4. Approach the rest of your list in the same fashion. At the end of the day, move any unfinished items to a new list of six tasks for the following day.

5. Repeat this process every working day

If you’re feeling overwhelmed right now, pick one thing to do. It can be tiny, like wiggling your toes. Then try just one more, and another, a keep adding little things. Before you know it you’ve wiggled your toes, moved your legs, stood up, walked across the room, turned the sink on, and washed a dish! Sometimes big things just need to be separated into smaller manageable tasks, and that’s okay.

Charlie: Don’t worry, she likes your butt and fancy hair. I know. I read her diary.

Alastor: She thinks It’s fancy?

Writers of Tumblr, listen up! This has probably been said before but I'mma say it again:

Do you feel like you're procrastinating on your current fic by writing down another one because an idea struck you at 2am? No you're not.

Do you feel like you're procrastinating on your current fic because you've been doing school/uni/job work? No you're not, that stuff is more important than how many socks Deku wears on any given day.

Do you feel like you've been procrastinating on your current fic because you just haven't had the energy and all you want to do is binge YouTube videos and eat ice cream? No, you're not, take care of yourself!

Are you down because you've got three WIPs open and can't think of how to fit some scenes together? Don't bother, just keep writing the fun and interesting scenes.

If writing is a fun hobby for you, don't make your fun hobby into a chore.

If writing is your job, don't turn your job into a chore.

We as humans work better when we're enjoying what we're doing - just think back to when you were in school: what lessons do you remember the most of and which ones did you enjoy?

As Star Trek keeps telling us: time isn't linear, it's relative. So why do we have to write things in linear order? No one ever really told us to do that, school systems just assumed it. They said "write a beginning, middle and end, in that order" because it was the easiest and most streamlined approach.

But this is your fic or your book or your assignment, you don't have to write it that way. Write it in the way that the ideas come.

If the opening is hard, write the big fight at the climax. If the connection is eluding you, write the scenes it's supposed to connect between and see what happens. You'll get there, I believe in you <3

At the end of the day, please enjoy writing! Enjoy reading too! If you have kids or know kids, encourage them to read! Little kids especially have a tendency to copy what older people do, so show them books you love.

Don't feel bad because you haven't updated a fic in months. You've been letting the ideas cook and they just have a really long cooking time. Re-read some stuff and maybe some ideas will come up. Listen to music, watch your shows and films, read other books and fics. Go for a walk, even - you can get inspiration from anything.

WIP owners: I believe in you. You can do this! They might sit there and taunt you, or beg to be finished, but if you can't do it right now then you can't do it right now and you should take a break. Save it, close it, do something else. Come back to it when you're ready.

My toxic trait as a writer is procrastinating on points that are technically related to my story but aren’t actually relevant at all. I spent an hour today trying to pick the perfect middle name for a character even though his middle name is never going to be mentioned.

#and I couldn’t decide on one by the way #so if you have a 1700s-appropriate suggestion for the middle name of a man named Bartholomew Brimsley let me know #so update I ended up going with Benedict #thanks for the suggestions #writeblr #writing probz #writing procrastination #writing community #writing mood #procrastinating #writers #writers of tumblr #writerslife #writing problems #writer probz

A different perspective on procrastination.

Just like anyone, I used to get really frustrated with myself for procrastinating before writing/arting/doing anything, really. (In full honesty, I'm writing this post while procrastinating writing my novel.) Until recently, I used to beat myself up for procrastinating. Everything changed, however, when I decided to accept that procrastination is part of my process.

I started thinking of procrastination as part of my process, rather than a detour from it, or a hinderance to it.

Now, when I sit down to write, I expect myself to procrastinate. More than that, I choose to let myself do it on purpose. My form of procrastination is usually when I sit down to write, I immediately feel the need to scroll YouTube, Tumblr, Google random stuff, clean up my desk area a little bit, search through Spotify---whatever it may be that day. Often the guilt of procrastinating made me do it even longer. Now, I tell myself, "Time to write! But first - a half an hour of procrastinating." And I let myself run to do whatever I want to, like a kid at recess.

And the weird thing is that I used to procrastinate about an hour or two before working on my projects, feeling badly the whole time.

Now that I gave myself permission to procrastinate, and treated it as a true part of my process?

I procrastinate maybe 20-30 minutes, if that. It almost feels like I'm a kid who liked sneaking out of the house, but was suddenly given permission to do so by my parents.

Sneaking out doesn't have the same charm anymore.

I'm procrastinating less, I'm starting to work at earlier times, and I'm finally not feeling bad about procrastinating.

Because it's not procrastinating.

It's just part of my process.

juggling three character motivations in one scene is oddly draining today. I can feel my brain physically burning up its reserves. it's very weird. writing 2+ characters isn't usually a problem for me. maybe because the scene I'm working on is not a fun or funny scene

there's lots to puzzle out in the next chapter. it's important to balance information dispersal and clarity while keeping to the story's logic. you don't want to info dump. you don't want to confuse the reader. you don't want to contradict the things you've already written

I post stuff like this to complain BUT ALSO to demonstrate something: if you see my finished work and it seems effortlessly done to you, I want you to know that it does in fact take me a lot of time and hard work

aka if you struggle with writing, you're not alone!

writing is not always easy and in fact can be hard 🤝

writing is not always fun and in fact can be a drag 🤝

remember: finished works don't reflect the effort and struggle put into them. don't compare your wips to others' finished works ❤️

[like, you're not supposed to compare your finished works to others' finished works but ESPECIALLY don't compare your WIPS to finished work]
