Pre-Assessment Task:
Procrastination is when you delay doing something that you planned to do, even though you know it is beneficial for you. It is often against our better judgement and can lead to stress, guilt, and the loss of productivity
Please think about your own experiences with procrastination. Have there been times in your work or personal life where you delayed or avoided tasks, even though you knew they were good for you?
To help you think about your procrastination habits, consider these questions:
- How often do you find yourself doing less important tasks instead of focusing on the important ones?
- How often do you find yourself saying “I’ll do it later” when faced with a task?
- How often do you feel overwhelmed by the tasks you need to complete?
Now, please rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being “I rarely procrastinate” and 10 being “I procrastinate frequently”.
Remember, this is not about judging yourself. It is about understanding your habits and finding areas where you can improve.
Post Assessment Task 2: Minimise Procrastination & Setting SMART Goals:
Let us take a moment to reflect on a goal you have been procrastinating on. We will use the SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goal-setting framework and the ‘Three Self Model’ to help you strategize on achieving this goal. Here is how to approach it:
Step 1: Identify Your Goal:
Think about a goal you have been putting off. It could be anything from starting a fitness routine to learning a new skill.
Step 2: Break down your goal into the SMART framework:
- Specific: What exactly do you want to achieve? The more specific your description, the bigger the chance you will get exactly that.
- Measurable: Break your goal down into measurable elements. How will you know you have achieved your goal?
- Achievable: Is your goal realistic and within your reach? It should stretch your abilities but remain possible.
- Relevant:How relevant is your goal to your broader objectives and life plan?
- Time-bound:When do you want to achieve your goal? Set a deadline to keep yourself on track.
Step 3: Apply the ‘Three Self Model’ Consider how the ‘Three Self Model’ might help you in achieving this goal:
- Present Self: Acknowledge the part of you that seeks immediate gratification and comfort. How can you make the process of working towards your goal more enjoyable or rewarding in the short term?
- Future Self:Visualize the benefits your future self will reap from achieving this goal. How will your life improve?
- Social Self: Leverage your social self to help overcome procrastination. How can you involve others in your goal, creating social commitments that will motivate you?
Post Assessment Task 3: Reflection:
Now that you have identified your goal, made it SMART, and considered how the ‘Three Self Model’ can support you, it is time to reflect on this exercise.
- Clarity: How has this exercise helped you understand your goal better? How has it helped you plan how to reach your goal? Do you feel more sure about your plan now?
- Emotional Response: Can you describe the range of emotions you experienced while completing this exercise? Were there any specific moments that triggered strong emotions or reactions?
- Challenges: Were there any parts of this exercise that you found hard? Can you tell me about any problems or roadblocks you faced?
- Support: Can you identify the types of support you feel you need moving forward? This could be resources, encouragement, accountability, or something else. How do you think these forms of support would assist you in your journey towards achieving your goal?
