Category:Procrastinate

Discovering your goals, prioritizing them, and then concentrating on them is a great way to overcome procrastination. When a person decides that they want to accomplish their goals, they will take a proactive role in ensuring that those goals get accomplished, and will reschedule or cancel their other activities as necessary to ensure they meet those goals. A person's primary goals might be getting good grades, getting a college degree, or completing a project by a certain time. Pursuing these goals and assuring that I achieve them means rescheduling my other activities and sometimes forgoing some of them altogether (social events with friends, trips upnorth, etc.). It also means refraining from undertaking additional commitments that would hinder me from accomplishing my goals (intensive volunteer work, extracurricular programs, etc.)
