Why do we postpone our obligations?<\/strong><\/span><\/span>Have you caught yourself despite your intention to stop procrastinating yours?
\ncommitments, yet you spend hours and hours watching TikTok videos or Instagram reels-
\nhere. Recently, there has been more and more talk about the inability of young people to
\nthey face their obligations, so they postpone them.
\nProcrastination, or in the old Serbian "procrastination", happens to many people. Instead
\nto sit down and agree on all due emails, at that moment it is more interesting and
\nit is more important to clean the inbox of unnecessary emails; or you need to cross
\na certain number of questions for the exam, hmm, maybe clean the room? Why do we like this?
\nWhat's happening?<\/p>\n

Some research shows that several factors influence the occurrence of procrastination and
\npostponement of obligations, namely poor time management, laziness and lack
\nself control. When pronounced like this, it also sounds too harsh, which leads to yes
\nmany feel bad and add to it all a sense of guilt. To begin with, as in
\nabove all, it is important not to be too harsh on ourselves. As the Guardian writes, 80%
\nyoung people postpone their obligations, and even 50% do it often. So if you are
\nfound in this - you are not alone and don't be too self-critical.
\nThe essence of procrastination is that the immediate feeling that makes us happy is much stronger
\nfrom the feeling that comes in the long run. In other words, procrastination, that is
\nprocrastination is not a problem of bad time management, but a problem of regulation
\nemotion. So how do we influence our emotions?
\nMake your small victories big and be proud of yourself. Advantage of
\nperforming an arduous task must seem greater than the immediate discomfort
\nfacing the same.<\/p>\n

Break tasks into smaller steps<\/strong><\/p>\n

The very feeling of knowing that a great task lies before us can lead to it
\nthat we think too far ahead and diminish our abilities. Such tasks
\ncan seem daunting, so the advice is to break them down into smaller steps and each one
\na step taken is your small victory. Breaking down those tasks into smaller, achievable ones
\nsteps makes them easier to start and finish.<\/p>\n

Make yourself a schedule and set goals - and tell others<\/strong><\/p>\n

It may sound strange, but based on research our reward system in the brain
\nis very sensitive to social status. There is a greater tendency that people will
\ndo their tasks if they have told them to people. This is also a great way to
\nwe visualize our obligations.<\/p>\n

Recognize and deal with the source of your stress<\/strong><\/p>\n

First of all, it is important to recognize the signs of stress that can contribute
\nprocrastination. Then it is important to adopt self-regulation strategies, such as
\ndeep breathing techniques, meditation, exercise or yoga. When you recognize the source
\nstress, try to face it and solve it. We are often not aware of what is bothering us
\nwe postpone those activities that are not actually the direct cause of our bad
\nmoods.<\/p>\n

Work with people and don't be hard on yourself<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is certainly not possible to read an article on the Internet or a conversation
\nto solve this habit, so try talking to people who may have similar ones
\nchallenges. Working together can help you stay motivated and accountable
\nto his work. The next time you have an exam and you can't bring yourself to study on your own
\nin your room, find company and create a working atmosphere for it.
\nAnd most importantly, don't be hard on yourself! That the postponement of obligations is happening
\nto many, the fact that I too have been postponing this text speaks for itself. But know that it can be done
\nre\u0161iti! Samo je potrebno malo truda, motivacije… i mo\u017eda nekoliko odgledanih
\nepisode of your favorite series. Anyway, don't worry, procrastination is fine
\nnormally, as long as you eventually reach your goal and work towards it regularly
\nFix this habit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
