Red Flag Thoughts for Procrastination:
Often people say that they are fully procrastinating – putting something off – before they realise they’ve done this. So it’s really helpful to spot the warning signs – the red flags – that procrastination is about to happen. That way, you give yourself the opportunity to choose whether or not you continue into procrastination, or not. Examples of common red flags are:
• “I’m too tired/ busy. I’ll do it tomorrow”
• “I don’t have everything I need, I can’t start it now”
• “I don’t have enough time to do it all, so I will wait until I do”
• “It’s too late to start now”
• “I will do it once this other thing has finished”
• “It’s better to do it when I am in the mood or feeling inspired”
• “I will miss out on the fun happening now, I can do it another time”
• “I have plenty of time I can do it later”
• “I work better when I am stressed, so I will leave it to the last minute”
