Summary

Many people think that what the addict needs is willpower, but nothing could be further from the truth: When a person has already lost control over a drug or activity, attempts to control its use almost never work. Because the source of addiction isn't the drug or activity itself but a desire for a mood changer, successful recovery means ultimately changing the way we live, giving up the addictive life-style. Willpower's Not Enough will show you how to change your life-style and to recover from your addiction.

    How do I stop my procrastination habit? 
    Why do I procrastinate so much? 
    Proven tips to stop procrastinating once and for all! 
    You have a deadline looming. However, instead of doing your work, you are fiddling with miscellaneous things like checking email, social media, watching videos, surfing blogs and forums. You know you should be working, but you just don’t feel like doing anything. 
    What to do? Use time-management techniques 
    One obvious way to tackle procrastination is to start managing your time better – to create an overview of upcoming tasks, set yourself rules for prioritising, and plan how to spend time productively. Although this won’t address your emotional discomfort or your avoidance directly, it can serve a preventative role. By increasing your sense of control, you’ll calm your emotional state and it’s less likely you’ll feel the need to procrastinate. 
    Procrastination has many faces.  
    Sometimes it’s simply choosing pleasure over discipline. Sometimes it’s an attempt to avoid something negative. And sometimes it’s getting paralyzed by overwhelming expectations. Therefore, here are different reasons why we procrastinate, plus a customized approach for each:The task isn’t urgent. Solution: Consider the big picture.We don’t know how to start or what comes next. Solution: Build confusion into the task.We're afraid of failure. Solution: Untangle performance and self-worth.Some of us work better under pressure. Solution: Know thyself.We just don’t want to do our work. Solution: Measure and compensate.
