1 Acknowledge Feelings

Understanding your emotions is the first step in addressing procrastination. When facing a deadline, you might experience anxiety, fear of failure, or a lack of motivation. Acknowledging these feelings is crucial; they are valid and often a natural response to stress. Instead of ignoring them, use emotional intelligence to explore why you're feeling this way. Is the task too complex, or are you worried about the outcome? By identifying the root cause of your emotions, you can begin to find solutions that address these concerns and help you move forward.

The only thing that truly works when facing anxiety or fear of failure is to simply power through and just start doing it. Forcing ourselves through that "wall" of the start can be painful but once we start, things become much easier. The worst thing to do is to focus on the fear, on the procrastination itself. Focus instead on how you will feel once you started, once you powered through.

There might be different reasons for procrastination. We might even sometimes think that it is fear of failure, while in reality it might be the fear of success. Research shows that many times we are more scared of the fact if we will be able to carry great outcomes of our work, so we block it, just in case. I also have learnt that many times our body is giving us great signals but we do not want to listen to it, and many times we push instead of letting go.

2 Set Clear Goals

Clear goal setting is vital in combating procrastination. When deadlines loom, breaking down your work into manageable tasks can make the process less intimidating. Use emotional intelligence to set realistic and achievable goals for yourself. Understand what you are capable of accomplishing in a given timeframe and set your objectives accordingly. This approach not only helps you stay organized but also provides a sense of accomplishment as you complete each task, which can be a powerful motivator to keep going.

Some tasks can be boring or difficult, but when you set your short and long terms goals, you can focus on the means to get the results, getting extra power and motivation to move yourself.

Often what decreases our motivation is setting too demanding goals. It is like we would want to climb the highest mountain without even trying out first on smaller ones and gaining experience from that. We forget that it is less painful to fall from something that is on a lower level.

3 Time Management

Effective time management is a critical aspect of meeting deadlines. Emotional intelligence can help you prioritize tasks and allocate your time wisely. Consider which tasks are most important or time-sensitive and tackle those first. Be aware of how you feel at different times of the day and schedule demanding tasks when you're most alert and productive. Remember, it's also important to take breaks; they provide an opportunity to recharge and prevent burnout, which is essential for maintaining productivity.

Prioritize your tasks & projects by the level of impact they have on the business. If the impact is high, this should be the first item/s on your ‘to do’ list. If you have multiple projects & priorities on your plate, physically block time out on your GCal to complete these tasks. Hold yourself accountable and focus on what needs to get done during that time block. I find it helpful to silence my work notifications and any other distractions during my focus blocks. ??

4 Seek Support

Sometimes, you might need assistance to meet a deadline. Emotional intelligence involves recognizing when you need help and being open to seeking it. Reach out to colleagues or friends who can offer advice, help brainstorm ideas, or provide moral support. This not only eases your workload but also strengthens your relationships, as it shows a willingness to collaborate and an appreciation for others' expertise. Remember that asking for help is not a sign of weakness but a strategic move towards achieving your goals.

5 Embrace Flexibility

Flexibility is an important trait when dealing with procrastination and deadlines. Emotional intelligence allows you to adapt to changing circumstances and adjust your plans accordingly. If you encounter an unexpected obstacle, don't panic. Take a moment to reassess the situation and determine the best course of action. Being flexible can mean re-prioritizing your tasks, finding alternative solutions, or even renegotiating deadlines if necessary. The ability to pivot and adapt is a valuable skill in ensuring you stay on track.

6 Reflect and Learn

Finally, use emotional intelligence to reflect on your experiences with procrastination and deadlines. After completing a task or project, take time to consider what worked well and what didn't. Reflect on how you managed your emotions throughout the process and what strategies helped you overcome procrastination. Learning from each experience will help you develop better habits for future deadlines, allowing for continuous personal and professional growth. Remember, every challenge is an opportunity to learn and improve.

There is always a reason behind procrastination. First, try to understand the root cause. For instance, if the project you are working on or the responsibility you took is out of your interest area, the end result will probably be an unwilling attitude, consequently, procrastination. Nevertheless, if there is no other way to consider, try to divide the whole task into sub-tasks and allocate a small part of your time to execute it prior to the deadline.

Sometimes it is worth to rethink the objective an transform your original plan. If something is not giving you enough motivation or if it is not working financially, timely, personally or perhaps impacting negatively in your life, it could be time to reconsider and rethink the path to self realisation.

If I recall correctly Scot Galloway, in his book Algebra of Happiness, writes about great creators who used procrastination wisely, as a way to learn more on smaller projects they did while the biggest one was put aside in time. This enabled them to learn on the small ones and create great pieces.
