When we procrastinate we not only waste clock time, we actually intensify our sense of time flowing, and add to the illusion that fulfillment lies in the future. In this workshop we will discuss common ways of dealing with procrastination, analyze what it really means to put something off to the future, identify the negative feelings that distract us from completing projects, and do an isometric exercise to relieve our conflict. If you don't really want to do it now, you are simply postponing it, or rescheduling it, not procrastinating. To handle procrastination, first make sure you've broken the project into pieces that are manageable. If you don't have bite-sized tasks, you'll probably be confused and perhaps overwhelmed.
Procrastination is a particular way of struggling with time.
Some people procrastinate about work, and others about taking breaks, or taking care of themselves. Procrastination begins with some kind of negative feeling that distracts us from what we're doing. Most of us know how we waste time and miss opportunities, how we have to set up things twice, and perhaps how we erode our self-confidence. But there are other, less commonly known side-effects. Procrastination is a really good example of how we create or intensify our sense of time , so that it can feel as though time is speeding up or slowing down.
