Overcome The #1 Goal Setting Barrier
The best way to beat procrastination is to have a clear goal and a plan of action. That’s the key, isn’t it? We all know what we need to do, but most of us have trouble actually doing it. The main reason why people avoid doing something they know they should do is because they don’t have a strong enough drive or the right motivation.
Many people don’t even know how to set good goals. They often pursue things that they think will make them happy in the short term, but when they reach the goals, they aren’t happier and they often feel worse. The cycle of being happy, then un-happy and depressed goes on and on until there is a real state of unhappiness. This pattern is known as hedonic adaptation: getting used to your current situation until you need more to be satisfied.
The things we want from life are often not the things that make us happy. What we really need is to be able to change our priorities and put our energy into the things that will actually make us happy. This is the key to overcoming procrastination, and it also explains why some of us aren’t able to get rid of it despite having good intentions.
One of the worst things you can do while starting a new habit is to set an all or nothing goal. When you set an all or nothing goal, you are setting yourself up for failure. You’re telling yourself that if you don’t do it perfectly, the whole experiment is a failure.
Let me tell you about the idea of Perfect Perfectionism. Perfect Perfectionism is believing that anything less than perfection is bad and unacceptable. This belief can cause a lot of stress and it can lead to procrastination because perfectionists tend to over-think and over-analyze everything they do.
You should set realistic goals and know that there will be mistakes. And when you do fail, you need to learn from your mistakes so you can succeed next time. Mistakes are a normal part of the process of learning something new. If you have one bad day and tell yourself that everything is ruined, it can lead to more bad days because the thought of failure is on your mind all the time.
If you have a really important goal in your life, like losing weight or improving your health, there are a few things you can do to make sure it happens.
Set realistic goals that you can achieve. You should break down the goal into smaller parts so that it’s an achievable challenge. Set small temporary goals that will be easy to reach at first. You can even establish one milestone as a reward when you achieve the goal. Try to break down the goal into smaller parts for your own mental effort. Make your final goal easy. You should set the final goal so that it’s a reasonable challenge but still challenging enough to work towards. If you set an impossible goal, you will experience failure and discouragement that can cause you to procrastinate. Give yourself some slack when you are starting out so that you can learn from your mistakes. When you are starting a new habit, it won’t be easy. Try to make your life easier as much as you can.
You should also set a plan of action that will help you reach your goal. You can even make a chart to chart your progress along the way. And when you reach your goals, celebrate and reward yourself for reaching them. Pat yourself on the back for being able to overcome the procrastination so that you can get on with achieving your real goal in life.
You can overcome the procrastination barrier by setting realistic goals, planning your actions and rewards along the way, and celebrating when you get to your goal. And most importantly, you can overcome procrastination if you are willing to learn from your mistakes.
So make sure that you have enough drive and motivation to overcome the procrastination barrier so that you can have a successful life.
You can overcome the procrastination barrier by setting realistic goals, planning your actions and rewards along the way, and celebrating when you get to your goal. Most importantly, you can overcome procrastination if you are willing to learn from your mistakes.
