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.

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.

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

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.

Honestly, this whole AI bs did so much critical damage to my emotional HP, I felt we really needed more people talking about it, so here I am!

Putting the title aside though, I’m really not here to tell you what to do, you decide what’s best for you based on your own circumstances!!

I made this post merely to calm you down, show the options and give you some hope that yes, there’s still a future for our career!

We’ll have to keep fighting for it of course, but that’s a topic for another comic, stay tuned! 👀

Star Wars never gives you a complete past of most characters or you know no details - which honestly is a shame

I want to see young Morgan Elsbeth angrily sitting over books, crying and having mental breakdowns because she just started studying engines and weapon designs, but as someone who lived her whole life so far surrounded by Magick she understands NOTHING

Bonus points if she already was a Magistrate on Calodan - like how funny it would be if the people came to her with their problems and she would be like NOT NOW I HAVE TECH EXAMS TOMORROW

How to be successful

The one true way of becoming successful is beating competition. Opportunities are scarce and they are many smart people vying for the same opportunity as you are. To beat competition you have to be at the intersection of your multiple interests.

Beat your competition

Figure out your competition: The truth is you are not competiting with the entire world. If you are a business major, you cannot compete with an impressionist painter. You are competiting with a smaller number of people who are business thinkers, consultants, venture capitalist, entrepreneurs etc because that is your field which in and of itself is very competitive.

Acknowledge your weaknesses: You need to figure out what your weaknesses are and work your way around it. As much as you want to do the things you are good at, you also want to do things that are not so good at. Especially if you need those skills in the nearest future. My weakness is public speaking, and I have resolved to put myself in situations where I have to speak, share my thoughts, or lead a team. Now, my first job may not require me to speak, however, I could see myself pitching a business idea to a punch of VC investors in future and I need to be able to convey my ideas in very comprehensible way,

Compound your knowledge: Make daily efforts to work towards improving what you already know and learning more. We admire people who are knowledgeable but no one wakes up with an incredible about of knowledge bestowed on them. So you ahve got to make the effort to slowly build and watch how much you would have learned after a given period.

Build leverage: It is the leverage you build that will make you stand out from the crowd. Leverage could come in form of social capital (the people you know) or experiential capital (the unique things you have done). Both will go along way. So this is the right time to take advantage of networking, build connections with people whose work or lifestyle you admire. Experiences makes you a good story teller. Did you have a startup that failed to meet customer's need? Did you volunteer in Croatia in your sophomore year? People want to know.

Be value-driven: You want to build a reputation as someone who provides value to others. Do you go the extra mile at work? Are you known to make the best presentation? Are you an optimistic person on the team? Do you check on others periodically? Being value driven makes networking or professional relationships less one-sided. People will take note of you and become fond of putting your name into places you never knew you could get into.
