Procrastinating is a symptom of a mentally fit brain.

I think I have it upon the answer. I went to a friends facebook page and saw that he was friends with my ex-gf. I hate that ugly bitch. Ugly as my big toe. SHE IS GOING TO GET HER MASTERS DEGREE IN @)!! 2011. Fuck that bitch. I have to get to work. I cannot delay. The dishonor she brings to me is overwhelming.
I'm increasingly having problems with this. I get so overwhelmed by the details of the task before me. So if I set a deadline and then break the task down into its smallest steps, I can do a very little bit at a time and still know that I am progressing toward my goal in good time. For example, before I bake Christmas cookies, I have to review the recipes, make the grocery list, buy the supplies, clean the oven, clean the kitchen, (everything has to be spotless) get the equipment together (cookie scoop, measuring spoons/cups, mixing bowls, mixer, sifter, etc.). If I set the deadline right, I have plenty of time to do each little step without any pressure and without feeling that it's all too much, and eventually I get it finished.
Plan so you take the pressure off yourself and then chip away at it, in other words.
Procrastinate your procrastinating
This is they key right here. Procrastination is inevitable, especially for certain types... just trick yourself into procrastinating on what you were going to procrastinate with.
Easier said then done, I know...
Just DO it. No excuses. The second you know you NEED to do something- the second that ‘Ill do it later’ bounces in your head- treat that as a sign that no matter how much you dont want to do something- you are GOING to do it now instead of later. A sign that you NEED to do it now.
Its so much better to just suck up the awful stuff and get it over with- no matter how difficult. Whether you procrastinate or not is up to you- you KNOW when you are doing it. You know you are doing it every single second you do it because it fills every moment with a tiny bit of anxiety. So just- DONT do it. Remind yourself if you just get it over with- itll be SO much better
Sometimes the longer you procrastinate, the less ready you feel, and it results in even more procrastination.
