Procrastination

lwatkins8784 — 2024-01-25 14:39:04 UTC

One time waster I struggle with is procrastination. When I don't want to do something I end up just ignoring it and not doing it until the last minute and then I struggle with it. This affects my leadership because then I cannot get it done and whatever I procrastinated on is not done to the best of my ability.

Not Prioritizing

Another time waster I struggle with is not prioritizing the most important things that need to get done. Instead of doing them first I end up doing the easier stuff and then I do not have enough time to finish or do the important items to the best of my ability.

Social Media distractions

Sometimes I waste my time watching social media and end up forgetting about what I really need to get done and then I have trouble actually getting motivated to do the things I need to do because of how wrapped up I am in TikTok, or Instagram.

Working Without a Plan

When I don't have enough time to write on my planner I end up just doing things without a plan and just work on what I need to do in the order my mind thinks of. This allows me to be not organized and more stressed about getting certain things done.

Clutter

The last thing I really struggle with is clutter. A lot of the time the reason why I don't get things done efficiently is because of the clutter in my working space. I end up wasting a lot of time just trying to clean it all up or trying to find a certain paper that I need to complete the things I need to complete.

"Procrastination is like a credit card: It's a lot of fun until you get the bill."

This is my favorite quote because it shows that procrastination is fun and nice until you actually need to get it done or fail at something. Kind of like when you spend lots of money and then realize how much you owe back.

Weekly Planner

lwatkins8784 — 2024-01-25 15:16:20 UTC

To help with procrastination I try and write down all of the time and dates of things I need to get done in a day to help me stay organized and I also feel more motivated to do things when they are already planned and written down.

Turn off notification on phones

lwatkins8784 — 2024-01-25 15:20:48 UTC

To help with not wasting time a good strategy is turning off all notifications on my phone so I do not get distracted and stay on track more.

Stay on one task at a time

lwatkins8784 — 2024-01-25 15:23:09 UTC

The last strategy is to stay focused on one thing at a time, do not jump around and start a new task when you are finished with the last task. This will help make sure things are done efficiently and keeps you well organized.
