Stop Sacrifice and deliberately shy away from important work

Sometimes it makes sense to give up everything. But mostly - is not an option.

What if you need to re-write his thesis to obtain a degree, or finish an important project, to confirm their professional reputation, or tidy resume to apply for a work? You want to minimize your losses and move on - perhaps even pretending that nothing had happened.

In practice, you can not grow professionally while you are at odds with their thoughts and actions. If you feel like a victim of the working process, follow these steps to improve your ability. They will help you overcome procrastination and feel the real progress of the work, starting from the first day of their application.

Take responsibility, and quite a game with a sense of guilt!

If you feel like a victim of circumstance, you spend too much time on the charge of everything and all that surrounds you. And although it may seem like a good idea - to complain on the braking computer or the quality of service - but such a position is no good will not.

Instead, go back to a point of reference - to the point where you have made your choice: go to the second degree, took over management of the client or the project decided to pursue an acting career. You must accept the fact that regardless of the fact that you need to finish now - it is a natural consequence of your decision. This is not some burden from the bulldozer assigned to you. The only exceptions are cases of family pressure, which almost anyone can trace its current position to the point where self-made one choice or another.

Once you accept the fact that you are responsible for where and in what position you are now are, stop and instead cries "Woe is me!" Ask yourself, "What can I do to move further?"

Admit evasion cases and focus on moving forward

Once you have stopped to talk as a sacrifice, and accept the fact that for everything that happens to you, you are responsible, you will need to do their actions. People with the psychology of victims, as a rule, make plans everything they think is important. they overemployment justify the lack of progress in the actions.

"Productive", at first glance, the activity (for example, maintaining a flawless purity mailbox) which gives you a sense of control over what is happening and some satisfaction - in fact, a trap. This veiled cover for the fact that you have large gaps in productivity. If this situation seems familiar to you, be honest: what are you doing in the hours or minutes, when you are "too busy" or "you do not have time" to do what you really need?! Stop wasting time on less important things, or at least limit it! So you will have a minute, and then watch for the more important things.

Divide your tasks into smaller TASK

Evasion of the implementation of the project for several months or even years and a detailed assessment of all of its scale - more ozadachat you than inspire. Consider the ultimate goal - the same as staring at the top of the mountain - at the time, as you need to look for a few steps ahead of him.

For example, if you finish it annoy you drawing portfolio, you can apply for a new job. Your small steps towards this goal are as follows: 1. Find implemented cases. 2. Assemble the other (current and new) work. 3. Choose from implemented projects that should be included in the portfolio. When you follow these three steps, the following will become apparent and will not scare you. Focus on the small things, and it will save you from feelings of invincibility for the task.

Attract "support group"

The first victory over the other, even if only small and light, you will require a lot of courage. After all, you have to break through the thick walls of guilt, fear, regret. The best way to be on the other side of the fence - to attract allies - people who will praise you for any act committed in the right direction. This kind of support group will strengthen your motivation to move toward your goal, even if the end of the work is not yet at hand.

Do not give precedence to the results, but accept the progress

Once you have taken herself, and began to make substantial progress in the implementation of tasks, you may still be faced with some internal resistance. Often this is due to the fact that focusing on any object, you are immersed in the work too deeply and want everything to be done perfectly. When you begin to notice for themselves worrying about what will think about your completed project, tell yourself the following:

• Do something - it is better than not doing at all.
• This is only a draft - I can always change it.
• I do not know whether absolutely everyone is happy or not. But I can concentrate on what I know how to do well.

Focusing on the process rather than the outcome, you will create favorable conditions for comfortable progress toward your ultimate goal.

What about you?

Are you "stuck" on important projects? And as you struggle with the avoidance of work, if it takes place?
