The Roadblock to Time Management

“How do I put things off? Let me

count the ways.”

1 If I ignore it, it will go away

2 I underestimate the time something will take and then not be able to complete it

3 Mediocrity is just fine with me – I just need enough not

to fail

4 I can’t study until my room is clean, I have washed my car, and feed the hungry masses

5 Just watching 5 more minutes of TV won’t hurt

6 I took my books with me…I just never had time to look

at them…

7 If I just get this one part of the assignment perfect, the rest of the work will be really easy

8 I can’t decide which is more important to do first, so I don’t do either

Reasons to Procrastinate

1 Lack of Relevance

Things that aren’t personally important to you are often harder to want to do.

2 Working On Someone Else’s Goals

Goals that others set for your are harder to want to pursue and lead to mediocre

performance at best.

Reasons to Procrastinate

3 Perfectionism

 Believing that the only good task is a perfectly done task will make it hard to finish anything.

4 Evaluation Anxiety

how you or your project will be judged creates anxiety and makes it harder to work.

Reasons to Procrastinate

5 Ambiguity about the task

 If I don’t know exactly what I need to do, I

can’t start I’ll wait ‘till I know more

6 Fear of the Unknown

 Ambiguity’s cousin If this is new, I don’t

have any way of telling how well I can do or if

I can do it at all I’ll wait ‘till I know more.

Reasons to Procrastinate

7 Lack of Skills to do the Job

I can’t do this, so I won’t try
