Overcoming Procrastination With A March Madness Bracket And Newton’s Law Of Motion | Really?

Procrastination We All Do It

We all procrastinate, I know I do. When I do, I usually get mad at myself for doing it. Well I used to. I have overcome my procrastination problem and you can too.

I’ve got a tip for you that will solve your Procrastination problem and it’s so simple you won’t believe that it actually works. Let me tell you now, it does and it is based on science. No really.

How Can March Madness Help End Procrastination?

For those of you who don’t know what march madness is. In the US every march, college basketball has its premiere event, a tournament with 68 teams fighting to win one trophy. We call it March Madness. They use a bracket to determine who plays who, based on their records from the season and many other factors that I won’t bore you with right now. One loss and you go home.

Anyway, how can this help with procrastination? Well we are going to use a bracket to prioritize what tasks we should complete and when to complete them.

Filling Out Your End Procrastination Bracket

Here is a list of the steps you need to take, to end procrastination forever.

• First, Write down all of your tasks that need to be completed, anything you need to get done. But, and this is very important, DO NOT put them in any particular order or by priority. Just write them down in a single column list, as they pop into your head.
• Second, Take your list and turn it into a bracket, like so.
  

  Use a March Madness Bracket to Overcome Procrastination

  If you have an odd number of tasks, then either add another task or just give the odd one out a bye week(which means just move it to the next round)

• Third, Once you have all of your brackets done, go back to the top and play the first game. This is where my technique is different from all of the “Motivational Guru’s” out there. I want you to pick the Easier task of the 2 in the first bracket and so on down the line. Always picking the easier task (I’ll explain why in the next paragraph.)
• Now, once you finish the first round, always picking the easiest task, do the same for the next round and so on, until you get down to only 2 tasks (the 2 easiest tasks on your list)
• From these 2 tasks, pick one as a winner, the easier one.
• Then complete that task and move on to the loser of the final game. The next easiest task.

How Newton’s Law Of Motion Ties Into Overcoming Procrastination

Do you know Newton’s Law of Motion? Well it basically states that “A body at rest tends to stay at rest and a body in motion tends to stay in motion.”

Also, “The heavier that body is, the harder it is to get moving” Look at it like this. Let say you have a train with 100 full cars and you have another with 1 empty car. Which do you think will be easier to get moving. Well it’s the empty one of course. So in order to gain momentum in your own tasks, you start with the easy ones first, because it is much easier to gain momentum when the tasks are easier.

Once you have that forward momentum, then you can move on to the harder tasks on your list. Doing this will help you accomplish so much more and this in turn, will lift your spirits and will stop you from getting angry with yourself for procrastinating.

Procrastination can easily be overcome by starting with your easiest task, so it’s time to stop worrying and putting things off. Start easy, gain momentum and then the hard tasks won’t seem so daunting, because you will have momentum on your side.

Remember Newton’s Law – A body at rest tends to stay at rest and the heavier that body is (your harder tasks) the harder it is to get moving. So don’t start with the harder stuff. Start easy and procrastination will be a thing of the past.
