Have you ever found yourself feeling frustrated when a friend or loved one procrastinates? Perhaps you’ve even tried to help? Helping someone with procrastination can be a delicate process.
Here are some strategies you can try:
- Talk to understand the reasons. Knowing the root cause can guide your approach.
- Encourage the person to break tasks into smaller, manageable parts. Smaller goals can make tasks feel less daunting and help build momentum.
- Create a schedule. Help them create a realistic timeline for their tasks.
- Minimize distractions. Try creating a dedicated workspace, using apps that block distracting websites, or setting specific times for checking messages.
- Offer to work alongside them or check in on their progress regularly.
- Celebrate small wins together. Boost their motivation and reinforce positive behaviours.
Remember to approach the situation with empathy and understanding, as procrastination can often be linked to deeper issues. If procrastination is significantly impacting their life, suggest asking for professional help.
