But listen up - you CAN break procrastination habit at work as well as in every other area of your life.
Here are a few suggestions for beating procrastination:
1. Go on; admit that you have some fears and anxieties about your ability to get job done!
It's a perfectly normal feeling, and once you face your problems with concentration, time management, and inability to make a decision, you can take steps to change them.
2. Instead of brooding about your problem areas, identify your strong points, set your goals and priorities and develop a "can do" attitude.
3. Use time wisely. The value you place on yourself and your work has a direct bearing on your ability to do your work in a timely, consistent manner.
4. Set priorities and perform each job accordingly. Tackle jobs you dislike aggressively; it's best to get them done and out of way. Consider breaking large assignments into smaller segments (if time allows).
5. Take a couple of minutes frequently to stand, stretch or move about to energize both your body and your brain. If possible, get some fresh air during breaks and your lunch hour.
6. Take initiative to change your work environment if it causes distractions. Placing a barrier such as a tall plant in front of your desk will block view of co-workers passing by.
Make sure you have information and supplies at hand to avoid temptation to wander away from your work area.
A few changes in your attitude and work habits will make a dramatic difference in way you perform your work.
