Let's say you have a task that will require about two hours of work and needs to be done by next Thursday. Most poeple say to themselves, "I've got to get that done by nx wk" or how abt "I'm going to do it Tuesday between four to six pm" Notice the diffence between the 2 sentence? Your mind only moves towards specifics. If you say to a friend, "Let's get together someday," It will never happen. But if you make an appointment with your friend...That will happen. Because we tend to keep our appointments. If you have smth that needs to be done, but ure likely toput it off uintil the last min, there's a simple solution: Make an appointment with urself. Before you do anything else, make the decision that its going to get done. Then decide when ure going to do it. And ensure tt ure commit urself to tt specific time. Some who didnt make tt commitment will tend to withdraw the last min. So commitment is important. As simple as it sounds, this technique not only helps u get more done but also has some side benefits, it develops self-dicipline, aids in goal setting, helps overcome procrastination and teaches u to use ur time more effectively.
