Excuses Strengthen Procrastination
We all have a guilt complex to different degrees. Some call it the conscience. When we procrastinate activities that we are supposed to carry out, we tend to rationalize within ourselves whether we have made the right decision or not. Often, when the conscience prevails, the procrastinator will wind up getting back to work. People are motivated by gains and avoidance of pain. In other words, a student is motivated to study either by the rewards of scoring top in his class or he or she is afraid to fail an exam. Studies show that more people study out of fear of loss than out of rewards. We are more motivated by avoidance of pain than by rewards. Our minds have this logical gate that works well when we are close to the edge of a cliff. However, this procrastinator’s mind is crafty. They rationalize their way out of doing something by strengthening the resolve to procrastinate. These ‘subtle reasons’ are actually called excuses. “I’ll get down on my assignment after football season. I still have 4 weeks anyway!” “I’ll bring the clothes in later, the sky still looks sunny” “I’ll get to the airport in 15 minutes, the traffic isn’t that heavy at this time” We are all familiar with these excuses. But the way to conquer your procrastination habit is to fight fire with fire. You have to train yourself into giving reasons why it is better to act than to delay. |
