Everyone delays.<\/p>\n
Including me in wanting to save a rough draft of this simple linkblog post until a later time when I could write\/re-edit\/insert-excuse-here.<\/p>\n
In doing so it reminded me of how I used to handle Procrastination.<\/p>\n
I’d Procrastinate… Later<\/em>.<\/p>\n How?<\/p>\n When facing ANY moment where making a decision to start to do and complete something, I immediately made a best-guess of how long the doing<\/em> would take.<\/p>\n With that length of doing time<\/em> now estimated, I allowed myself, at most, an equal amount of delaying time<\/em>.<\/p>\n Hence, if a task took 5 minutes to do, I could at most delay for an additional 5 minutes beforehand. And then I made it a Personal Law that I must<\/em> get started and then finish the task. <\/p>\n Time cost for the task? Altogether, 10 minutes. Tops.<\/p>\n This was derived from my habit of writing down the estimated time commitment beside each item on my daily To Do List, and then re-prioritizing the entire list’s contents from that point of view.<\/p>\n
