A Proven Technique to Overcome Procrastination and Achieve Your Goals
If good things come to those who wait, isn’t procrastination a virtue?
Wink….Wink
I know why you’re here.
We all battle the cunning adversary that sabotages our to-do lists.
One effective psychological technique to overcome procrastination is the Zeigarnik effect.
The Zeigarnik effect states that people tend to remember uncompleted tasks better than completed ones.
Many of us tend to put off tasks that we find overwhelming or boring.
The Zeigarnik effect suggests that the key to overcoming procrastination is simply to start.
Starting with a small and seemingly insignificant step is the best way to trigger our psyche and register the task as unfinished.
This helps to keep it in our memory, and the feeling of discomfort that comes with leaving a task unfinished further motivates us to work towards completion.
Enhance your motivation for tasks with mental imagery of their completion, leveraging the Zeigarnik effect.
