How to Stop Procrastinating by Managing Your Emotions

Procrastination happens when we delay doing things, and it's often connected to our emotions. Feelings like being afraid to fail, feeling worried or stressed, getting bored, or lacking motivation can all contribute to procrastination. To stop procrastinating and get more things done, it's important to learn how to handle our emotions better.

Boredom:

Break the task into smaller, more engaging sub-tasks.

Find ways to make the task more interesting or challenging.

Set a timer and work on the task for a specific amount of time, followed by a short break doing something enjoyable.

Feeling Overwhelmed:

Prioritize tasks and focus on one thing at a time.

Break the task into smaller, more manageable steps.

Delegate some parts of the task if possible or seek help from others.

Use tools like to-do lists or task management apps to stay organized.

Anxiety:

Practice deep breathing or mindfulness techniques to calm yourself.

Challenge negative thoughts and replace them with more positive and realistic ones.

Start with the easier or less intimidating aspects of the task to build momentum.

Focus on past accomplishments and successes to boost your confidence.

Seek support or feedback from others to gain reassurance.

Remind yourself of your skills and capabilities to tackle the task.

Use positive affirmations to counteract negative self-talk.

Perfectionism:

Embrace the concept of "good enough" rather than seeking perfection.

Set realistic and achievable goals for each task.

Recognize that mistakes and imperfections are part of the learning process and growth.

Set a time limit for making decisions to avoid overthinking.

Trust your instincts and make the best decision you can with the information available.

Find aspects of the task that align with your values or long-term goals.

Break the task into smaller, more manageable parts and focus on completing one at a time.

Reward yourself for completing the task to make it more appealing.

Stress or Burnout:

Practice stress-reduction techniques such as meditation, exercise, or spending time in nature.

Break tasks into smaller steps to reduce the feeling of overwhelm.

Prioritize self-care and take breaks to avoid burnout.

Feeling Uninspired or Creatively Blocked:

Engage in activities that stimulate creativity, such as brainstorming, mind mapping, or seeking inspiration from others' work.

Start with a simple and basic version of the task to get the creative juices flowing.

Collaborate with others or seek feedback to gain new perspectives.

Fear of Success:

Identify and challenge the negative beliefs or fears that may be holding you back.

Visualize the positive outcomes of completing the task successfully.

Focus on the benefits and personal growth that come with success.

Impatience:

Break long-term goals into smaller milestones to track progress.

Practice mindfulness to stay present and patient throughout the process.

Remind yourself that progress takes time and effort.

Lack of Confidence:

Celebrate your past accomplishments to boost your confidence.

Seek support and encouragement from friends, family, or mentors.

Focus on building specific skills related to the task to increase confidence.

Avoiding Discomfort:

Acknowledge that discomfort is a natural part of growth and improvement.

Break tasks into smaller steps and tackle the more challenging aspects gradually.

Remind yourself of the long-term benefits of facing discomfort.

Overestimating Future Motivation:

Practice discipline and commit to starting tasks even when motivation is low.

Set specific deadlines for tasks to create a sense of urgency.

Establish a routine that includes regular work on the task to build consistency.

🌸 post-catws stucky + hug

The first tendril of want shocks him like a splash of ice-cold water poured down his spine.

Bucky doesn’t know at first – doesn’t know what, doesn’t know how. But the want is there, curled up in his chest: small, and starving, like some trembling newborn thing whose first taste of life is hunger, crying to be fed and soothed.

There’s a half-remembered feeling in the back of his mind, something he reaches for when the want aches sharp and spark-bright inside him. The word for it is short and sweet in Bucky’s mouth, so gentle it barely touches his tongue at all, all throat and soft palate: ‘hug’.

It’s a simple concept. Two arms go around one body – that’s all it takes. One step, and there it is: a hug. And Bucky imagines it vividly: his own mismatched arms around Steve, and Steve’s arms folding around him, like a circle – the shape of the infinite, of timeless things like the two of them. A line that should end, but constantly finds one more beginning instead.

He tries to see it, Steve’s broad chest brushing against his as their bodies meet, the swell of Steve’s arms enveloping him, Steve’s big palms splayed wide against his back, touching him. Gentle. Like Steve’s eyes on him are gentle; like the clasp of his hand on Bucky’s shoulder is gentle, always. So gentle, perhaps, that Bucky would hardly even feel the hug around him.

But he would take it, gentle or no. Because the truth, where it lies in the empty pit of his stomach, is that he starves for it, day after day, the want pulsing inside him with every beat of his heart. He just doesn’t know how to ask for it.

So Steve does the asking for him.

His hair is ruffled, limned with copper and wisps of gold in the late afternoon light, and his hands are unsure, nervous. But his eyes. His eyes take Bucky in, searching, urgent – and for a moment, Bucky is sure that Steve, too, must have been starving for this.

“Can I hug you?” he says, and the word sounds especially sweet when it’s Steve pronouncing it. When there’s a ‘you’ attached to it, and that one syllable becomes two, joined seamlessly together, and the new word rolls smooth and honeyed down the curl of Steve’s tongue, hug you, hug you, hug you. “Would that be okay?”

Bucky wets his lips. ‘Yes,’ he means to say, but the word that slips out of his mouth in a rasp instead says, “Please.”

So Steve gathers him close, two arms and one body and his nose buried in Bucky’s dark mop of hair, and he carves a snug space out of himself to make room for Bucky right there, his hands fisted in the back of Bucky’s shirt, their chests pressed so tight together that his heartbeat pounds behind Bucky’s ribs.

It’s not a passing touch, the fluttering echo of a hug Bucky feared he might barely feel. It’s persistent. It’s desperate. It’s a hungry little thing, a creature to be fed tenderly, steadily, so it’ll grow and live, and live.

He wraps his own arms around Steve, and grasps at him just as fiercely as his want commands, a wet exhale shuddering out of his lips to land in the crook of Steve’s neck.

He was wrong, he realizes now, framed in Steve’s embrace like a timeless work of art. He was missing a step.

A hug is a simple concept: two arms go around one body, and they hold on.

ASTROLOGY OBSERVATION PART 10

People born with Gemini and Virgo ascendants should not have a strong Mars in their chart. Since Mars is an enemy of Mercury, it should not be strong. This is because Mercury is a planet of intelligence and believes that the brain can do everything, while Mars represents physical activity and does not rely on intelligence. Mars is always hasty, but Mercury is always calculative.

LET ASTROLOGY CHOOSE YOU!

No hate to Steven or anything and a lot of the flack he's gotten in the yt comments is unwarranted, but one thing I think is interesting is how on Watcher he was painted as a business-guru type and yet he was like... a chemical engineering major. Like so was I for most of college and you know what we never learned? How to run a business

Most unrealistic part of the planet of the apes franchise is that the chimpanzees are the ones advocating for peace and the bonobos are the ones causing the most problems

A gift from someone 🥺

[kayfeyt]

لو عندك مهارة أو موهبة وعاوز تعمل بيها مشروع، لازم تركز على شرطين مهمين.

أول حاجة، تكون بتوظف مهارتك في مجال بتحبه فعلًا.

تاني حاجة، تكون بتقدم حاجة الناس فعلاً محتاجينها ومفيدة ليهم.

كل بزنس ناجح قائم على فكرة واحدة: تقديم قيمة حقيقية للناس مقابل فلوس.

السر مش إنك تفضل تفكر وتخطط لوحدك.

الأسهل بكتير إنك تشوف الناس اللي سبقوك في المجال ده عملوا إيه.

هتلاقي نفسك بتاخد إلهام وأفكار جديدة.

ووقتها هيكون عندك رؤية واضحة إزاي تقدم حاجة مميزة ومختلفة.

ابدأ دلوقتي، من هنا

What is an Algorithm in 30 Seconds?

An algorithm is simply a series of instructions.

Think of a recipe: boil water, add pasta, wait, drain, eat. These are steps to follow.

In computer terms, an algorithm is a set of instructions for a computer to execute.

In machine learning, these instructions enable computers to learn from data, making machine learning algorithms unique and powerful.

Hi, can I ask you to please elaborate on the coup against Nik that ended rather violently? I love your idea of how Chimera works and am so here for your lovely brain. 👀

THANK YOU 🥺 I always imagine that when you gave a large operation filled with people who have rather,,,,,unscrupulous pasts, you're kinda guaranteed to have an issue or two in the future haha

I think Nik typically keeps these at bay mainly because 1) People actually do love him and 2) if you somehow manage to kill him then you're already dead on your feet considering you'll have the rest of Chimera AND 141 AND every other ally targeting you 💀

The ONE coup that he ended was probably told to be more dramatic than it was. Some older new recruit thinking that know more about the "what's right" for the organization's future and challenging Nik. Add in a few more gullible soldiers, and wayy too much ego. While it was quick and easy to put a stop to it, I DO think that Nik is the type to make an example out of people.

Overall, even if you did want to challenge him,,,you're better off keeping him alive and keeping your mouth shut.

I'm making the executive decision to start saying "love" "dear" and "sugar" in casual conversation

It’s the Man’s birthday!!! Which means that yeah I’ll talk about him finally

The Man is the titular character of Man Swears Forever, my big work-in-progress story! He has an actual name, but I like calling him the Man and that's what he is called for 90% of the story. His name is very easy to find if you do a little digging because it's not like an active secret.

The Man is the type of person who likes it when things are in a particular order. Certain things must happen at certain places at certain times of the day for a certain duration, people should move about their day minding their own business, no questions asked, no kinks in the machine, no nothing. He has a colourful past but in the modern day he'd much rather forget about it all and focus on the now instead, with a lovely small circle of people close to him and his life's simple joys. He becomes annoyed or angry very quickly if things don't go according to plan, sometimes explosively so. Unfortunately for him, stories don't tend to have everyone having a good time all the time... and there's untouched pine forest in North Ostrobothnia with his name on it.

He's a little bit weird in places but he's cool <33
