Identifying triggers for procrastination can help you address the root causes and develop strategies to manage them. Here are some steps to identify and deal with procrastination triggers: 1. Self-Reflection: Spend time reflecting on your habits and behaviors. Notice when and why you tend to procrastinate. 2. Keep a Procrastination Journal: Write down instances when you procrastinate. Note the time, task, emotions, thoughts, and what you did instead. Over time, patterns may emerge that can help you identify triggers. 3. Analyze Your Feelings: Pay attention to the emotions associated with procrastination, such as fear, anxiety, boredom, or frustration. Understanding these emotions can help pinpoint triggers.

There are so many reasons we procrastinate, it's crucial to understand what's behind it. Sit with the discomfort and see if you can understand the root cause. For instance, mine typically break down three ways: Priorities: If I have a lot of competing priorities, I have to stop and regroup sometimes to regain focus. Opacity: A deep understanding of why something needs to be accomplished, and what outcomes are intended, is a neat trick to evaporating procrastination. Awareness: I don't do everything sitting at a laptop. A lot of my "pre-work" is done conversationally, in deep thinking, or through other "off-task" activities. I've learned how much a tech- or task-free break can reignite flow.

What do you do if SMART goals are out of reach? Visualize your end-state. Forget all the metrics, what do you want to see in the world when your objective is complete? What's the perfect state? Then work backward from there ... how do we get there? Keep adding specificity, don't be afraid to test your goals with SMART colleagues, and don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Time blindness affects so many of us, especially those neurodivergent team members. Understanding this issue is crucial, but taking proactive steps to address it is even more vital. Tools such as timers, lists, agendas, alarms, workflows, and distraction eliminators can help so much in managing time effectively. Additionally, seeking support from management or colleagues, if available, can help create a supportive environment for better time management practices. By utilizing these external tools and resources, there's no need to rely on internal systems that don't adhere to external deadlines. Put another way; the deadline won't move and the time blindness is unlikely to change ... so let's restack the deck in our favor with technology.
