Graduate from 'I always procrastinate...'! A 'Simple 2-Step' Guide to Becoming Someone Who Can Take Action Immediately
[Recommended for people who:]
Are worried that they can't take action until the very last minute before a deadline...
Find it hard to start because they seek perfection, thinking 'I have to prepare properly'...
Want to try new things but are too anxious to take the first step...
Tend to procrastinate even when there are things they need to do...
'The deadline is next week, so I'm still fine.'
'I'm just not really in the mood...'
Don't you ever find yourself putting off things you need to do like that?
Today, I'd like to introduce a simple habit for those of you struggling with a 'procrastination habit' to become someone who can take action immediately.
1. Stop being a perfectionist! The recommendation to 'do it while researching'
One of the biggest causes of procrastination is 'perfectionism.' Because you think, 'I have to prepare properly before I start...', you end up raising the hurdle for taking action yourself.
But no matter how much you prepare, a 'perfect state' rarely arrives, does it?
That's why I recommend deciding to 'work while researching.'
The important thing is to 'start anyway, even if it's not perfect.' And to make yourself recognize that 'I am already taking action!' By doing this, your brain will naturally start working, and you will be able to move forward without fearing failure.
Let go of the assumption that 'I can't start unless I have all these things,' and try moving your hands first. Even if you fail, it will be valuable data for success!
2. A surprising effect! Turn on your motivation switch with your 'favorite writing tools'
Another thing I really want you to try is 'using writing tools that feel good to write with.'
Especially for people who do a lot of writing, the 'tactile feel' of a pen or notebook has a surprising impact on motivation. This is because when the brain receives pleasant tactile stimulation, motivation naturally arises, and you can act more smoothly.
The key to choosing a pen is the 'moderate resilience (elasticity)' of the pen tip. Because you can write smoothly without applying force, you won't get tired as easily, and it becomes easier to maintain concentration.
When you feel like 'my hands just won't move...', please try looking for your favorite pen at a stationery store. It will surely make writing something to look forward to.
Summary: Become someone who 'does it immediately' with small habits!
We introduced two habits to solve the problem of 'I just can't seem to take action...'
'Do it while researching': Don't wait for perfect preparation; gather information while taking action
'Use writing instruments that feel good to use': Stimulate your sense of touch to spark motivation
If you are struggling with a 'procrastination habit,' please try these starting today! You will surely feel a change.
