Learning Challenge: Follow Your Dreams & Just Do It
For this post, I used the following article: The Important Habit of Just Starting
This article confirmed that procrastination prohibits us from being productive everyday. Often, people procrastinate because they have a fear of starting a large project and become paralyzed in the process. As discussed in the article, time management can only go so far if it is truly a matter of finding time to work on projects. Psychological effects prevent us from starting projects and hurt our productivity levels.
This article taught me that procrastination is not simply putting off things until a later date. The article states that procrastination is also purposefully putting aside important work that will have negative consequences in the future. Like many others, I have also succumbed to procrastination amidst my engineering studies here at the University of Oklahoma. Procrastination greatly impacts my productivity, stress, and even motivation. Even knowing that higher stress levels and less time to actually do the tasks will result, I still procrastinate, which is not healthy by any means.
I'm curious to learn more about how I can change my way of thinking to tackle procrastination. By simply starting on a project, I can make more progress than I would have if I procrastinated. That may have been obvious, but the point still stands. Procrastination hurts productivity, and by simply starting, we can overcome that loss of productivity and motivate ourselves to finish.
