Procrastination. Hyperactivity is a trap for procrastinators

The condition known as procrastination, according to statistics, is familiar to every tenth representative of mankind. It would seem that the percentage of the afflicted with this disease is not so high, although almost every reader will surely remember the moments when he felt himself a victim of this state surrounded by other procrastinators. And this is natural, because the state of nervous, emotional and physical exhaustion is very similar to procrastination.

Depletion passes after rest, and constant fatigue due to self-sabotage can last for tens of years.

Procrastination is included in the list, consisting of diverse and bizarre forms of behavior, which in one way or another are only manifestations of self-sabotage. And, like other forms of such behavioral complexes, the procrastination model is fraught with many traps. These snares, which puts the ailment, look innocuous, but are capable of destroying the life and self-esteem of any person who has collided with them.

Usually for an individual suffering from the inability to carry out scheduled activities on time, the lack of physical strength, muffled emotions, caution before and during the activity is characteristic.

Few people know that apathy and exhaustion with procrastination sometimes go to the background. And after that, a person who felt the influx of forces, falls into a trap that can destroy the next few months of life and destroy the awareness of one's own worth.

A man who has suffered for a long time from the impossibility of quietly starting to work on some business and fatigue, one day wakes up with the thought that it's time to translate plans into reality. And, if he manages to embark on the reality of a task or his own project, the habit of self-sabotage will affect the further development of events.

The first option of a later life is that a person will try to invest himself in a single project. He will fulfill it qualitatively, quickly, perhaps earlier than the deadlines set, but after that he will fall on the sofa and will not be able to make his tea. People who live with procrastination for years know that it's even harder to stop on time than to start work on time. And experienced wrestlers with self-sabotage, assuming the appearance of fatigue and laziness, are advised, if not to start at the appointed time, then at least stop until the moment when the eyes begin to darken.

The second variant of the development of events looks even more terrible, since a person, feeling a surge of energy, successfully begins and ends one insignificant affair. Further procrastinator, neglecting the voice of logic and reasonable evaluation of circumstances, decides to execute as many cases as possible in one night. The person trapped in this trap until the last moment hopes and tries to cross out all the items on the list of fifty cases. In the mental list or on a paper sheet there can be both insignificant and very laborious matters. The procrastinator, trapped in one of the traps created by the ailment, tries to transplant flowers in one day, to wash all clothes and furniture covers, paint the ceiling in the room, walk with the dog and fulfill other obligations. At the same time, for the timely achievement of all the goals, the person who put them in front of him can sacrifice a warm supper and sleep. In principle, almost all procrastinators do this, since in most cases the work assignment is postponed until the very morning.

When trying to get rid of a huge number of tasks in one day, a person who has decided to change his life in this way gets a headache, a disgusting mood, confidence in his mediocrity and the inability to change something.

The influx of strength and excessive activity in procrastination, as in manic-depressive syndrome, require thoughtful and slow behavior and decision-making. You can not do seventy cases and a little more in a day. Usually such a burst of energy and desire to do everything and immediately overtake procrastinators when entering a state of cure for pathological laziness. And they should remember that moderation will save them from collapse after a state of hyperactivity, just as it saved from a state of apathy. In addition, two completed cases per day are better than forty started and none is complete.
