Re:Tricks to start working despite not feeling like it by tiagomfcorreia on Tuesday August 09, 2022 @06:23AM (#32396039)
For me, I noticed that my main reason to procrastinate was that the task seemed so big that causes me fear of not being able to accomplish it. So this advice is one I can relate to when feeling that way, because when I break it down to simple things/tricks like saying to myself “I’ll just do 5 min of this”, or even “I’ll just write a few sentences and then we’ll see”, that happens to help me overcome the fear of the task. I know it really feels like BS, but, at least for me, I can find some help just changing the approach from seeing the big picture to more of a micro approach where you feel good if you just start by doing something small, and then it gives you that compounding effect, extra motivation and confidence to keep doing a little more.
