Strategies for dealing with procrastination include:
- organizing the brain, for example by keeping written lists of what needs to be done
- disconnecting from technology so we’re not taking in a constant stream of information
Movement can also help overcome procrastination because exercise has such a positive effect on your brain. When you raise your heart rate even a little bit, you’re going to pump more oxygen to the brain, making the brain happier and more able to focus. You’re also releasing hormones, which are giving an environment and ecosystem for growth. You’re stimulating the connections between the cells to grow so you’re literally growing the brain, making it more robust and more capable of handling information. That makes us feel better and more capable, and all of those feelings are the perfect remedy for procrastination.
