Time management

Make it now

Make it now

There is a wise saying: “do not put off that you can make today”. It is possible to paraphrase it so: “do not postpone for then that you can make now”. Wisely, certainly. But after all it is all the same postponed. And it becomes then painfully sick for aimlessly lived day, not speaking about years. And after all we know, that it will be bad, and all the same we postpone. Such is the nature human, weak and helpless. And if you the person strong (or such yourself you consider), that, want, do not want, and it is necessary to overcome yourself.

There are some reasons on which we postpone affairs even if time for their performance is available.

The first reason – business too difficult, is terrible to begin it because volume of work big, and issue of a suit is unknown – and suddenly it will not turn out? All the same to start performance of such business and to finish it to logic end, it is recommended to divide performance process into some stages. Now, when you make the decision, to begin performance of a problem or to postpone “on then”, think not of all business entirely, but only about its first stage which to you needs to be executed. The basic stages, in turn, can be divided into easier iili the short.

Let's give an example, which everyone faced, probably. It is necessary to write course work, and you understand, that the earlier to begin its writing, the better quality it will turn out, and, hence, will be estimated above. But to start to write work, estimating its volume, very difficult, and you start to postpone a writing until before work delivery there are 2 weeks. Naturally, quality the course leaves much to be desired, and how many nerves are spent! Therefore we break work over course into some stages: literature selection, a writing 1, 2 sections etc. of work, registration, delivery to the teacher. A stage of selection of the literature we divide on: library visiting, viewing of magazines, viewing of books, search on the Internet etc. It already much is easier, than the big problem “the Writing of course work”, but each step conducts to the purpose.

Take away special time for performance of difficult work, depending on terms of its performance and volume. For example, daily on 1 hour. If you know, that you do not need to devote all time to this problem, it will be much easier to you to carry out it.

The second reason on which business performance is postponed, – business unpleasant, therefore we do not wish it to carry out, though and it is necessary. For example, a campaign to the dentist, the payment of invoices, conversation with the chief. Usually on performance of such business a lot of time is not required, the it is easier to postpone it. It seems, that it is possible to make it then, on it always there will be time. Consequences of such decision are rather pitiable: the tooth starts to be ill to impossibility strongly, for non-payment to you disconnect phone, the chief "forgets" to give out to you bonus.

There is a certain moment when you solve, to carry out to you now such business or to postpone. Try to catch, what exactly now you make the decision, and it is a little to tighten this moment. How much you are allowed by imagination, present all awful consequences of default of business. Do not forget about the conscience, can, associates and will not notice, that you have not executed business, but you will constantly think of it and to suffer.

Probably, only this reception will force you to begin work. If it does not help, there are two possible outcomes. The first – you understand, that anything awful will not occur. In that case can postpone business performance safely. Perhaps, the problem will pass by itself. And if is not present, solve it next time. The second outcome – you understand, that the problem should be solved right now, but to you laziness. Then it is necessary to resort to one dodge. Only begin, but do not continue business performance. Call the doctor, learn, when it accepts.

Quite probably, you at once also register to it in reception and then you should go. Get accounts, see them and put in the bag or a folder. When you will casually pass by a financial settlements centre, you will need to come only into it and to pay, after all accounts you already took. It is possible to promise also to itself compensation for business performance. After all you have overcome yourselves, have made it. You receive on work the salary, and for such work as performance of unpleasant business, it is necessary itself to indulge.

Happens so, that you to such degree are overcome by laziness, what even there are no forces to begin. To us often there is a laziness to do monotonous, tiresome work. It basically concerns house affairs, such, as washing, cleaning, repair. One of variants – you do not wait, when the heap of dirty clothes will collect, and all erase in process of pollution. Have soiled a T-short – at once have washed. If a lot of linen all the same has collected, it is possible every day or in day to erase on one – two things. Then you will strongly not get tired and begin washing it will be easier. And it is possible to resort to one dodge.

Try to put the dirty clothes not in a bathroom, on a usual place, and in the middle of a room – on an armchair, on a bed etc. there Will pass some time and you will be bothered to look at this heap, can, it will force you to wash at last? If it is difficult to you to begin repair, tear off a scrap of wall-paper in a prominent place. Even if you can easy look at it, visitors will necessarily pay attention to this disgrace, probably, it becomes a shame to you also you will make repair.

Certainly, it can turn out and so, that no forces can force to make you any business. Means, its performance is not too important. Only do not think out to itself excuses – there is no time, there is no possibility, – simply tell to itself: “I would not like to do it”. And suddenly conscience all the same will wake up?
