Inside the Last-Minute Mindset: “Why Do I Only Feel Motivated When a Deadline Is Looming?”

  Inside the Last-Minute Mindset: “Why Do I Only Feel Motivated When a Deadline Is Looming?” (getpocket.com) Whenever I want to send myself into the throes of an existential crisis, I start to think about how much time I waste each year not doing the tasks on my   to-do list . If I added it up, how many hours, days or possibly even weeks do I spend   procrastinating , putting things off and thinking about all of my looming responsibilities without ever springing into action? And what, in some perfect parallel universe, could the dedicated, focused version of me have achieved with all that time?   Trained for a marathon ? Finally finished   Middlemarch ? Written a   Middlemarch -sized novel of my own?  My last-minute mindset is something I’m well aware of, and yet whenever I’m presented with a deadline, I follow the same pattern: put the work off for as long as humanly possible, then cram it all into a condensed, chaotic period of ’ productivity ’, whic...

4 Ways Busy People Sabotage Themselves

  4 Ways Busy People Sabotage Themselves (hbr.org) You’ve left an important task undone for weeks. It’s hanging over you, causing daily anxiety. And yet instead of actually doing it, you do a hundred other tasks instead. Or you’ve been feeling guilty about not replying to an email, even though replying would only take 10 minutes. Or maybe the last time you needed stamps, you went to the post office to buy a single stamp because you couldn’t find the 100-pack you purchased a few months ago. You know it’s around… somewhere. But you just don’t have the time to clean your desk to find it. These self-sabotaging patterns maintain a cycle of always having too much to do (or at least  feeling like that’s the case ). If you’re chronically tapped out of the immense amount of mental energy required for planning, decision making, and coping, it’s easy to get lured into these traps.  Let’s unpack the problems in more detail and discuss solutions. 1. You keep ploughing away without ste...

5 Mistakes We Make When We’re Overwhelmed

  The following are five common self-sabotaging mistakes overwhelmed people tend to make. There are practical solutions for each that will help you feel like you’re on top of things and do a better job of navigating your most important tasks and solving problems. 1. You think you don’t have time for actions that would help you. People often have great ideas about things that would help them feel better and more in control — for example, hiring someone to help around the house, practicing self-care, seeing a therapist, taking a vacation, or organizing a game night with friends. However, they dismiss them because they think they’re too busy or that it’s not the right time, waiting to take those actions until a more ideal moment that typically never arrives. Instead of thinking about what would be ideal, choose the best option that’s easily available to you  now . Perhaps you don’t have time to research the best therapists by interviewing multiple candidates, but you do have time...

Caring Thoughts

Check over what you have written to see how you have expressed yourself.

Listen closely to what your friend or loved one is saying. When responding, avoid shifting the focus back to your opinion or position and continue to engage with their point of view.

A mouse can’t change its interpretation of experiences, but you can. Don’t shy away from those who’ve defeated you—allow yourself to get back out into the field and continue to interact in your own environment. Admit that it hurts. You don’t have to pretend that you don’t mind losing (unless you truly don’t). Perhaps one of the most truthful statements a politician can make is to admit that winning is better than losing. Learn from the experience so that you can lower your chances of defeat in the future. What was it that led to your loss?
