Procrastination Research-Part II
We know the answer to this question. Its the same reason
we believe we will eventually do what's best for ourselves in
all the other parts of our lives, but [url=http://www.davidhabchy.com]barbour sale[/url] rarely do. In this case
it was a choice between movies that promised to be fun and
forgettable, or would be memorable but require more effort to
absorb. The spectre of high entertainment competes against
demand, which requires more effort (concentration, thinking,
effort, appreciation of depth).
We pick easy, fun or less labor-intensive activities to do
first, if they can be used to [url=http://www.par5club.com/louboutin.php]louboutin pas cher[/url] avoid more labor intensive
activities, even if the latter are higher quality or provide
greater benefit. (Remember the example of avoiding the [url=http://www.shewyne.com/woolrichoutlet.html]woolrich sito ufficiale[/url]
dissertation to mow the lawn?) Rarely do we deal with heavier
stuff first, unless there is sufficient rewards. To underscore
the point, we know ahead of time we will have to do some
labor-demanding [url=http://www.teatrodeoro.com/hollisterde.php]www.teatrodeoro.com/hollisterde.php[/url] tasks and some light-hearted ones, all in some
limited time frame. Generally, we will do the more labor-intensive
ones first if we perceive there is no [url=http://www.tagverts.com/barbour.php]barbour deutschland[/url] escape, or that the
light-hearted task is sufficiently rewarding later, thus rendering
the more difficult task acceptable now. Rearranging the folders
on my computer seems a lot more rewarding than paying the electric
[url=http://www.mxitcms.com/abercrombie/]abercrombie milano[/url] bill due in two weeks, or following up on a project for the boss,
which if avoided, might get me fired. This is what distinguishes
the lazy from the not lazy. Procrastinators are not really as
lazy as perceived, just more crafty in picking other, less
difficult things to do, in the service of avoiding the tough tasks.
overcome their resistance, in part, because we can become aware [url=http://www.diecastlinks.co.uk]hollister outlet[/url] of
our thought process. As above, the trick is to understand how we
value "things," whether conscious or not, and how they cause us to
"pause" because of the underlying conflicts, resultant ambivalence
and perceived anxiety.
In the literature on procrastination, much emphasis is placed on
the value of "time," which in this case also falls under the
metathinking problem. For example, when planning meals, think
about what you do with crummy foods vs. good foods. Researchers
[url=http://www.jeremyparendt.com/Barbour-Paris.php]barbour france paris[/url] have shown [url=http://www.corsodiesperanto.it/hoganit.html]www.corsodiesperanto.it/hoganit.html[/url] that we go for junk food first, but plan healthy meals
in the future. [url=http://www.thehygienerevolution.com/hollister.php]www.thehygienerevolution.com/hollister.php[/url] This is what is [url=http://www.riad-marrakesh.fr]www.riad-marrakesh.fr[/url] known as time inconsistency.
When asked if you would rather have fruit or cake one week from now,
you will usually say fruit. A week later when the slice of German
chocolate cake and the apple are both available, you are statistically
[url=http://park19.wakwak.com/~takeda-kazu/cgi-bin/bbs/aska.cgi?res=24185]www.marrakech-hotel.fr Partis[/url] more likely to go for the cake.
This is also why your Netflix [url=http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390331089734&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT]www.par5club.com/louboutin.ph[/url] queue has Schindler's List, Mutiny
On the Bounty and Citizen Cain, yet [url=http://www.teatrodeoro.com/hollisterde.php]hollister deutschland[/url] you watch Star Trek. We
rationalize watching the lesser quality movies with the knowledge
that there are great choices awaiting, and available (time
distortion-they are in your future, not happening [url=http://www.allisonparr.com/running-backs-available-on-netgalley/#comment-124190]Paris, nouvelle base des activistes aux seins nus[/url] now). The choice
of what to watch right now and what to watch later is like candy bars
versus carrot sticks. When we are planning ahead, our superego
(conscience, ego ideal) say, "health, nourishment...," but the id
(the impulsive side of us) says "junk...Ummmmmm." This is behavioral
economy and why those candy bars are at eye levels for kids (who can't
resist because of immaturity) and are also right next to the check out
areas in supermarkets for adults.
