00:00Given the popularity of our previous article, what is procrastination and why do we tend
00:11to it?
00:12It seems an opportune moment to delve into an effective strategy to tackle this pervasive
00:16issue.
00:18As you may recall, procrastination is not merely about laziness.
00:22It's about diverting our attention to less critical tasks or convincing ourselves that
00:26other activities are more urgent, thereby avoiding the ones we actually need to complete.
00:33The technique to combat procrastination was serendipitously discovered by psychologist
00:37Bluma Zygarnik during a visit to a cafe in Vienna.
00:42She noticed that waiters could recall customers' orders with ease until the bill was settled.
00:48Once the bill was paid, however, the waiters struggled to remember the details of the orders.
00:54This observation led Zygarnik to a fascinating insight.
00:57Our minds experience a form of psychic tension when we begin a task, which persists until
01:02the task is completed.
01:05How can we leverage this to overcome procrastination?
01:09The key lies in tricking our minds.
01:12Instead of dreading the daunting task ahead, commit to working on it for just a few minutes.
01:18This brief engagement often creates a momentum that compels us to continue until the task
01:22is finished.
01:25So if you have a list of tasks you've been avoiding, don't aim to complete them all at
01:29once.
01:31Simply start with a few minutes on one task.
01:34You'll often find that once you begin, you'll want to keep going until it's done.
01:40And if this method doesn't quite work for you, welcome to the elite club of premium
01:45procrastinators.
