Many people have the habit of "knowingly knowing to do it, but keep procrastinating." For a long time, procrastination has been seen as a manifestation of inefficiency and lack of self-discipline. However, psychological research points out that procrastination is not entirely negative. In some cases, "deliberate delay" can help you think, improve your creativity, and even stimulate the best performance under pressure.
There is also a "ultimate version" for procrastination?Research at the University of Columbia in the United States found that procrastination can be divided into two types: one is because of lack of self-confidence, anxiety or lack of motivation; the other is "extreme procrastination", which means that a person already has a clear sense of time and confidence in his heart, knowing that he can complete it within the deadline, so he chooses to postpone the task and wait until the pressure comes at the moment before doing his best. People like this often show amazing focus and efficiency at the end. In a sentence, if a person can say "It's not that I didn't do it, but I did it on purpose," it usually means that he has a certainty in the time and ability to complete the task.
{9 A practical experiment at Jelu University requires students to design entrepreneurial plans, and some students are allowed to watch several YouTube videos that are not related to the subject during the process. The results show that students who return to their tasks after being "distracted" are more creative. Researchers believe that delaying the brain can leave blank space, allowing thinking to have the opportunity to ferment and in turn stimulate new points. "Complete too early" may also be riskyInterestingly, overemphasizing "the sooner the better" may not be the best strategy. Some university professors have observed that the works of students who first handed in the report are often hasty and lack depth and integrity. In other words, if you finish too quickly, sometimes it will lose the content quality.
The key is "self-mastery"Of course, if procrastination lacks planning, it will only lead to anxiety and miss the deadline, which is "exhausting procrastination". The real key lies in whether you can clearly grasp how much time you need, when to start, and whether you can do it with all your strength in a limited time. If you have this kind of self-control, procrastination is no longer a simple and injurious habit, but can become an effective time management method.
Experts remind that instead of blaming yourself for "always procrastinating", it is better to view: Is this an uncontrollable delay, or a strategic and mature "extremely delayed first and later"? Learning to distinguish may allow us to find a rhythm and efficiency that is more in line with our own work and life.
