Getting rid of the habit of being busy

This phenomenon, which has long been familiar to us all, psychologists have defined recently. Faffing - the art of doing something without achieving anything (from the English verb spoken faff - do anything disorganized). "Business is nothing-not-doing" haunts us in business life, personal life. You can bring as many examples: the long hours at the computer searching for the right information, which are really just useless web surfing; many hours of sitting of the article, endlessly interrupted by watching the news on TV, electronic correspondence, telephone conversations and snacks. As a result, we get a lot of it is not clear where uplyvshih hours with absolutely no result, although the justification can always say, "I'm working!"

Hard "work" without doing anything - this activity is similar to a vicious circle, and every day you will again return to it, if not guided by the five simple rules: announces the results - of course, everyone knows what it takes on a particular work, but all the same - often remind yourself even aloud about what the ultimate goal. And at the end of the work and say, "All I did it." Insulate all that can distract you - this is television, radio, emails, ICQ, Internet in general, children, dogs and anything else that might be detrimental to you to finish the job. Set a realistic time frame - it is not necessary to stretch the article writing for the day, but a long-term job to squeeze in one hour is also not worth it - you still do not have time or do bad, and it knocks you off track. Announce your time - it will be an additional incentive. In addition, during the period you announced you, no one will interfere. So if you do not have time, no one will blame you. Reward yourself for all the work done by any means - going to the cinema, new wristwatch or simply reread the book. See also: Why do we get tired of sitting at home?
