I almost never procrastinate on something I really want. I procrastinate on things where I expect a poor outcome or things that are emotional challenges. <\/p>\n

For me… I look at those things I avoid and use it as an opportunity for personal growth. Try to learn what\u2019s behind the fear or discomfort. Or if it\u2019s something I just hate doing but feel that I should (like washing dishes), I set a short time, like 15 minutes and tell myself that\u2019s all I have to do. And do a little bit each day. But often once I start I do more than the time I set. <\/p>\n

Phone calls are hard for me. I tend to try to do them first thing and follow up with something I like to do as a reward.<\/p>\n

Sometimes I procrastinate because I\u2019m trying to do too many things. And then I need to give something up. <\/p>\n

When it comes to health-related things like exercise and eating right, it has to be something I like. I like to walk. So I walk. I don\u2019t like to cook, so I found a healthy source for pre-cooked food. <\/p>\n

I cannot make myself do something long term that I just don\u2019t like. So working out at the gym or fixing healthy meals much… just isn\u2019t going to last if I know I don\u2019t want to do it. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>
