Dr. Timothy A. Pychyl works as a lecturer in the psychology department of Carleton University and explains in his book "Solving the Proscrastination Puzzle: A Concise Guide to Strategies for Change", or "Prokrastineyşın" as translated into Turkish; What is procrastination, procrastination, procrastination and why do those who do these actions do it?
The book 'Prokrastineyşin' also offers a few useful suggestions to avoid postponing the things we say 'I will do tomorrow' and that tomorrow never comes. For example, you sat down to work and thought of something else you could do – and enjoy. The first thing you need to do is stand still. If you gravitate towards something that will make you feel good, you've lost. It is possible to find the next steps in the book.
The last chapter of 'Prokrastineyşın' makes important determinations about the place that feeds procrastination behavior the most today: internet technologies. Most of us work on computers now, and the internet is a great master at distracting us with both the computer and the phones next to us. Dr. There is a very simple method suggested by Pychyl in this regard; Before you start working, close everything you don't need on your computer, don't check e-mails, and close your phone's messaging applications.
Everyone procrastinates sometimes, but procrastinators chronically avoid difficult tasks and carefully look for distractions. Procrastination largely reflects perennial struggles with self-control, as well as the inability to accurately predict how we will feel tomorrow or the next day. “I don't feel ready” takes priority over goals; Unfortunately, it indicates a downward spiral of negative emotions that discourages future effort. Perfectionists are often procrastinators; For them, not starting with a task is more psychologically acceptable than facing the possibility of falling short in performance.
Procrastination is also related to some degree of self-deception; They are aware at some level of the reality of their actions. It is possible to overcome “procrastination” with effort. Changing behavior is possible with structured cognitive behavioral therapy. However, successfully Changing behavior does not necessarily mean that the person has changed internally. If you are a "procastinian" supporter, you can get rid of this with therapy. As the author says in the book; “Change is not something that can be achieved by just reading, you need to take action.”
