Wire - whip or scourge?

English term procrastination I do not like: it sounds awful, but maybe it's good for this harmful phenomenon. I still prefer our native word "wire".

Now, in the era of widespread use of MRI for human research in general and higher nervous activity in particular, begin to appear evidence-based articles and books that have gone from the wire.

This is not the topic of this article, so I will say only one thing - it is due to our very biology, not more nor less. And even worse to fight it. However, this is possible and necessary.

Today I offer you only one method, which is very good at helping me simply because it does not require any thinking and logical calculations. It was so unceremoniously, to overcome the wire easier.

What I suggest you do that when your hand is pulled to move a task for the day, week, month - put it, take the next task on your to-do list and do it without interruption during the entire fifteen minutes. I propose to use a timer (any: watches, mobile phone, "Pomidorka" or computer). The priority of the next task, the importance or urgency do not matter. What is important is only the fact of your works, without prior reflection or desire.

You do not do the task that caused your resistance, and calms the instinct, but you do what you have to do - and your instinct this will help you, because our nature is easy to agree that jumping into the water, you need to wallow, to swim.

And at the end of this pyatnadtsatiminutki, you can easily start an important task for you, you were going to postpone recently. Over time, you may not need to be such an exercise, because the habit of doing that is to be with you.
