The Proven Technique to overcome Procrastination

It's simple & effective. No excuses!

PROCRASTINATION!

Well we all tend to procrastinate every now and then and that is not a problem.

But PROCRASTINATION is definitely an area of concern when it becomes chronic.

I did a podcast episode on this in which I spoke to Ankita Joshi, a Consultant Clinical Psychologist ,about everything on procrastination and how to overcome it. Click here to listen to the podcast.

There is another technique which is a proven technique when it comes to overcoming procrastination. It is the ‘Pomodoro Technique’. Click here to access the short crisp video I did explaining the technique.

The Pomodoro Technique is basically a time management method based on 25 mins of focussed activity followed by 5 mins of break. It basically is a technique that leverages the minds ability to move from focussed state into diffused state, leading to better output.

Here’s how you can ‘Pomodoro’:

1. Identify a task or tasks that you need to complete.

2. Set a timer for 25 mins

3. Work on a task with no distractions.

4. When the alarm sounds, take a 5-minute break.

5. Repeat the process 3 more times.

6. Take a longer 30-minute break and start again.

7. Repeat as many times as you can and build from there.

Pro-tip; During the break time do something totally different. For example, if you have been writing then in the break time, play with your pet or listen to a song, or walk around or make tea. But avoid messaging or writing a post or any other type of writing.

This ensures that you move away from the part of the brain which you were already using and step into another zone.

This is one of the techniques I have used a lot and it has always served me.

I would love to know how this served you. You can write to me on ‘holisticgrowth@shikhapandey.com’
