...

I have got so much to do before a massive work meeting on Monday... But progress is slow and I've suddenly got a PhD in procrastination

Today I've been out to the shop to get biscuits and a coffee and I've had two non-work calls 😜😜😜

And now here I am on fab... If admin could just revoke my access until 7pm please and thank you

Any tips on how to get it done?? Or maybe you need motivation from fab to get your shit done!! What are you procrastinating about today??

I'll be back later to procrastinate a bit more... Err check progress 👀👀

It's a nightmare when self employed and have a CBA day.

Sat looking at a ceiling wondering why it isn't painting itself!

Eating chocolate and drinking coffee instead.

Wish we could help but we both also suffer from serious procrasterits

Setting small goals with rewards seems a good idea until those rewards are hobnobs and you skip the achieving the goal and just attack the pack

I’m the queen of procrastination so revoking daytime access to here would be great! Sometimes I have to leave my phone in a different room and set myself little time related targets. The struggle is real 😂

If you buy the biscuits then you will eat the biscuits. Next time buy a wet fish to slap your own face with 😃

I am such a pro at procrastinating.

Usually I'll break a task I've been putting off into ridiculously small increments. So if I'm put off by responding to an email my list will be:

1) open email

2) hit reply

3) type an opening 'Dear Sally, Thank you for your email'

You get the point. And then at some point my brain tips over into just fucking get it done already. But it sometimes means I have a half dozen draft emails that I've just abandoned or whatever. Good luck though, OP. You've got this.

I am the world’s worst procrastinator! 🙈

If I need to get something done, I set myself mini tasks and set a timer on my phone. If I complete the task I reward myself with a coffee break, a 10 minute scroll on here etc… Then repeat until everything is done!

It’s the only way I can get stuff done!

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Divide it into 10 parcels of work and do each parcel, then reward yourself. By the time you get to 5, you'll be feeling better and will want to finish.

Also a master procrastinator.

There's an interesting TED talk by Tim Urban about the 'instant gratification monkey' monkey 🐒

Good luck OP... "I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by."

I motivate myself through orgasms.

If I complete an hour or work I can play.

If I get one item done I can play with a toy.

Etc it works for me. The other people in the office keep calling HR lol

Taking little bites at a time is the only thing that works for me. I set a timer and don't stop until it buzzes.

I'm pretty skilled at it

Only you can decide that you will definitely do something and to maintain your application to it. It's your call
