Like everyone else, sometimes I don’t feel like working.\u00a0Fortunately, I found a way to deal with that productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m a bit drawn out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"I<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I like my job. I love writing blogs.\u00a0But not always.\u00a0And sometimes that’s a problem, because things just\u00a0have to happen<\/em>\u00a0.\u00a0When you work for an employer, you pull yourself together and just do as you are asked.\u00a0But that’s not how it works when you work for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can manage my own time.\u00a0So if I don’t feel like working I can just daydream all afternoon without anyone getting mad at me.\u00a0With the exception of my future self, of course.\u00a0Because if I’ve procrastinated in the past, I’ll\u00a0have<\/em>\u00a0to pay for\u00a0it\u00a0now<\/em>\u00a0, and that doesn’t make me happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, if I don’t feel like working then I will postpone. Hanging out on YouTube, playing useless games or chatting about useless games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But like I said, sometimes things just have to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what do I do?\u00a0I’m doing something crazy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I release myself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Precisely.\u00a0I release myself.\u00a0Now I have a huge toolkit of\u00a0techniques to reduce procrastination (you can create your own toolkit)\u00a0.\u00a0But if the task has some slack, this is my favorite technique.\u00a0If I find that I don’t want to work, I give myself\u00a0permission not to work<\/em>\u00a0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I say to myself, \u201cFine, you don’t have to work. You have the rest of the day off.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That feels very nice. Why? In the first place because being free is just nice. It means I can get on with YouTube and do other things guilt-free<\/em> . Being lazy without feeling like you should be doing something<\/em> is the best form of being lazy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It feels like summer vacations when I was a teenager. No responsibilities, no obligations, no homework. Pure fantastic-ness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By letting go of myself, a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Because if I think<\/em> I should write a great article, but I can’t do it, I feel bad. Then I consider myself a loser. And that feels terrible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if I tell myself it’s fine. I do not need<\/em> to write if I do not want. Then I feel light and free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then something even crazier happens<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel like working!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yep. That’s how it almost always works. I tell myself, \u201cI can game for the rest of the day if I want.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then I feel so free that I often think, \u201cOkay, you know what \u2013 I’ll just write this article and then I’ll just relax.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And suddenly there is an article on my screen<\/strong> . And that feels good. After which I think to myself: \u201cHmm \u2013 I’ll answer these emails before I start gaming.\u201d <\/em>And voil\u00e0, the mailbox is empty!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes I put my laptop away at this point and do indeed relax. But often one leads to the other. And my to-do list is finished and I don’t even feel the need to game anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, I often feel so happy and energized from completing tasks that I decide to go for a run or do something useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nice stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I Just change my mind<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"High<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The situation does not change. Just changing my mind about the situation. And this makes me suddenly behave very differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because if I don’t, I’m going to stare at my screen all afternoon without doing anything. That I might as well do something else useless that makes me happy. And as soon as I allow myself that, it suddenly becomes much less annoying to work for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And you know \u2013 often this is also the best remedy for\u00a0procrastination\u00a0in the future.\u00a0For the bow cannot always be tense.\u00a0If I don’t feel like working, it’s often because I’m tired or stressed.\u00a0A bit of lounging around will make me feel like tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever found yourself in a similar situation? <\/strong>Perhaps the strange technique will help you too. Give yourself the freedom to your tasks do not<\/em> perform, and see what happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may also suddenly feel like finishing a few tasks.\u00a0Doesn’t it help you?\u00a0No worries.\u00a0Set up your own list to help you reduce procrastination.<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"reddit\"<\/a>\"pinterest\"<\/a>\"linkedin\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
