How’s that “to do” list of yours coming along?
Sometimes it just takes one ‘iceberg’ task to sink all of your good intentions. You know the type: a task that is so big, so boring, or so challenging that you’d rather clean the office from floor to ceiling than actually get started on it.
Ultimately, you fail to reach all those more achievable tasks beyond the big one that’s sent you into a spiral of procrastination. And that just makes things worse. Your ‘to do’ list becomes more like a novel. Your stress rises. That iceberg seems even harder to pass. And as one study showed, stress and procrastination affect your mental and physical health.
But thankfully, dealing with procrastination is not a question of will-power. It’s a question of technique.
