Psstt… You procrastinate? It seems almost everyone likes, or at least once, puts off finishing their work. However, it turns out that procrastination falls into several different groups, depending on your personal characteristics. Well you know! Which group do you think you are in, and what is the solution? Check out the following reviews.
The various types of people who procrastinate
To identify which category yourself is in, here is a complete explanation plus possible solutions:
1. The perfectionist
Not everyone likes to delay completing work just because they are lazy. There are people who are actually diligent but often procrastinate because they are too worried that they can't finish it perfectly. Not infrequently, people who are included as perfectionists actually buy time to start just because they are worried that the results will not be optimal.
In addition, perfectionists tend to procrastinate because they pay too much attention to the little things that are sometimes meaningless. In the end, they were instead busy doing various other trivial matters so that the main job was never even finished.
Solution: If you feel this way, try to learn to appreciate what you do. You do need to do your best, but don't worry too much about the standards set by the assignor. From within yourself, set realistic goals and don't be grandiose.
Just focus on that goal while continuing to motivate yourself with positive sentences. Don't forget to set a time limit for each task. Don't be afraid to make mistakes because that's where you will learn.
2. The dreamer
The dreamer type is usually good at planning only, but in practice falls apart. As a result, this attitude often frustrated him because what was planned was difficult to realize so that his work was continually delayed.
Solution: For those of you who like to postpone work because they are too busy planning, try to put the plan into real action.
Little by little turn your plans into reality. Set daily goals and targets that you can complete in installments. Do not continue to be carried away by the imagination until nothing is realized and only ends in discourse.
3. The avoidant
People who enter this type tend to postpone their work for fear of not being able to do it. In his brain there are always thoughts "What if I fail?" or "What if the results are bad?" .
As a result, they prefer to delay by avoiding the work rather than having to face the consequences if the results of their assignments are not optimal.
Solution: Don't focus on fears and bad things that don't even necessarily happen. This will only make you more stressed and put off the work that is already waiting for you.
Never allow negative thoughts to enter the brain. You have to believe in your own abilities. Then, make a commitment to do whatever tasks you are given to the maximum.
Find out how to do the task that is in front of you, for example by dividing the work from the most difficult first to the easiest, or vice versa. Then, work slowly until it's finished.
Just remember that the work won't get done if you avoid it. It's better to be wrong than to walk away from your responsibilities and make other people stop believing in you. If you're confused, ask someone else to direct you.
4. The trouble maker
People in this category usually postpone starting work until near the deadline (deadline), aka upholding the principles of the Overnight Speeding System (SKS).
They tend to enjoy this adrenaline rush at the last minute. In fact, people of this type usually claim to be more passionate and creative when under pressure deadline which is getting closer.
Solution: Working in a hurry doesn't make the outcome any better. In fact, you will not have enough time to check the results, or correct them when they are wrong.
If you just feel encouraged at the last minute, try to share your time more efficiently. As long as you focus on doing the task, keep all objects that can distract you from devices, televisions, and others.
When it's time for a break, leave all work completely. After that, get to work when time tells you you need to go back.
5. The objector
The naysayers are those who postpone work because they don't want to comply with due deadlines and conditions. In other words, you tend to disobey and work on your own.
Solution: Learn to be responsible for the work that is assigned to you. Recall how you were initially trusted by others to do this task.
Consider the consequences if you are willing to persistently challenge the employer. Don't overlook the effect of doing this on your short and long term relationship with the employer.
6. Si multitasker
People included multitasker tend to delay work because it is too much work to be done. He does not know and is confused about which one to prioritize first.
This often happens to people who are reluctant to refuse extra work, even though what they have is still not finished.
Solution: You have to know your own priorities, and don't want to be someone who isn't preferably . Learn to say no if you just can't do it. Don't push yourself to work outside your body's tolerance limits.
