Working from home changed my life in the opposite direction. Being able to fully manage my own time and not have someone breathing down my neck has enabled me to actually not procrastinate.
I used to suffer from a lot of stress and anxiety and I think that fueled my procrastination. Now that I no longer suffer from those, I can just focus on work.
For a while I've wondered how I even started procrastinating as hard as I did. I used to be the type to first get all pending tasks done and then go and enjoy my free time, but at some point it flipped. It's weird.
- myth2018 8y agoThanks for sharing this. I used to be like what you said too, and things also flipped to me at some point, and I find it weird as well. I used to be hugely self-driven and get a lot done but it seems that I get lost when working on really big projects. Some room for improvement in this field.
- deevolution 8y agoI think the stress and anxiety is caused by procrastination and the stress and anxiety causes further procrastination. It's a loop! The trick is to get out of the loop by establishing productive, rewarding habits.
- myth2018 8y agoI totally agree and I got caught in such loop. And it took me too long to do something about. Had to reach a really sad local minimum until I decided to act. I will maybe write something about this in the future. When it comes to procrastination, people are usually so concerned about not realizing their full potentials. But it can be much worse than that. I was concerned about a suboptimal improvement and I ended up in a position worse than when I started.
