Is there a cure for Procrastination?

Hmm, I beg to differ. A disease doesn't necessarly have to show physical symptoms. Procrastinators tend to be very aware of their actions and they do try their utmost best to over come it but they just can't. If this is not in need of help, truly I don't think anything is.

Hah... Then I am no longer amongst you procrastinators. I thought I was. *smug*

Here's my answer to a question sent:

"what I do when something works one day and then doesnt work the next?"

SubhaanAllah!! From my own experience as well as yours, its clear the one method doesnt work always, i wish it did but it doesnt!

So you have to develope different methods to overcome the problem. In terms of habits, it has a positive or negative effect. Your mind will always try to beat as what ever method you choose, make sure it has a postive effect.

Heres an example...

First of all i always have a list of things i have to do for the week, these include university work, housework, quran, prayer and then extras (fun time etc :-[)

Then have a plan for the day. Here you must put some fun things in between what your doing. This way you "treat yourself" for doing something.

One of the main thing i still do is have an ACTION plan to help get things done. This works really well in a lot of circumstances.

Action as in "DO IT NOW ATTITUDE"

Zuhr prayer ( which is a must do) It is in between 1.15pm to 5.30pm

Option 1

Theres days when its 1.30om and i feel "tired" so my mind says to me "chill untill 3pm, then do Zuhr"

Option 2
However, ill say to myself lets "DO IT NOW" then i can chill.

Both options are valid because it gets the job done, BUT option 1 has negative impact on you. Because if you continue to chill, you might get even more lazy and wait til the very end of the prayer.

Option 2 is much better, cause from feeling tired, you do the prayer, and you feel great and you know its out of the way. You wont have to think about this for the rest of that time. Its a sense of achievement

Other ways to add impact for "DO IT NOW ATTITUDE", is to say the positive things about the task. Think about sucesses you have had, and what our Prophet ( SalAllahu Alayhi WaSalam) would have done?

Decide to yourself whats most important and write it on your list of things to do. So when the time come to do the task you know which is most important to do.( This way it helps you mind taking control of you!!)

And finally there is no better day than to start with Fajr prayer and make Dua for overcoming any weeknesses. Alhamdulilah

I hope this helps everyone. Feel free to PM.

Make Dua for me

FiAmaaniAllah

You wish you were a fellow procrastinator!

Far7an- That doesn't work.

Yanal- Inshaa'Allaah

Najm- Inshaa'Allaah, those were actually really good points, I guess I should start making notes for genito-urinary physiology and pathology.
 
to be honest its because we don't have other stuff to do because if we did we would spend less time on here, well this is true for me atleast
 
Get married.

alhamdulillah i've grown out of my procrastination habit slowly, just don't leave anything till later and reward yourself when you finish something lol *Note: this doesn't work for everyone
