Reflection: I've noticed that when I'm intrinsically motivated, I procrastinate less because the activities are enjoyable and rewarding in themselves. However, when driven by extrinsic factors, my procrastination increases, especially if the rewards or consequences are distant or abstract.
Action: I will try to find intrinsic value in all tasks, focusing on aspects of the work that I enjoy or find meaningful, to reduce procrastination and enhance my engagement with the task.
-
Reflection: My struggle with procrastination often stems from poor self-regulation, especially when faced with immediate gratifications like social media or entertainment.
Action: I will improve my self-regulation skills by setting clear boundaries for work and leisure, using techniques like the Pomodoro Technique to structure work periods and breaks effectively.
-
Reflection: Sometimes, I procrastinate because my goals aren’t clearly defined, making the path to achieving them vague and the process overwhelming.
Action: I will make my goals SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) to provide a clear roadmap and milestones, which will help me stay on track and reduce procrastination.
