What do you do to stop procrastinating? - Lemmy.world

Less social media, do not disturb, lots to try, not much works.

One of the side effects of practicing meditation is procrastination pretty much went away completely.
How? And do you have tips on starting it?

There are plenty different types of meditation that you can look into.

To start, try to sit for just a minute or two, lightly close your eyes, and slowly count your breaths in and out without trying to control your breathing. Each time your mind wanders, bring it back to your breath.

Do you remember how long it took for you to see results?
Does it matter? Seems like you have the time with all your procrastinating. Just try it for month.
Yeah it does matter. If I will be trying this I have something new to do for procrastination. So if it does not help against my other procrastination I will be off worse.

I try to be abrupt. So I’ll be sat down for an hour, chastising myself every 5 minutes for not doing something productive, then one of those times, halfway through the thought I just kind of internally shout at myself to GET UP.

Put what I’m holding down, stand up, do one thing. If I can carry on going and do more-great. If not at least I did one thing.
