During my academic years, I spent many long nights finishing up an English paper or getting a speech together or studying for an exam. My Mom cringed at Science project time because it would always be a last minute, underwhelming project. In my early career I did work that was more immediate – writing for a newspaper, making appointments and answering calls. Then I worked as a graphic designer at a printing company. The sales rep would hand over projects with deadlines of 3 days or a week. I would have 10 projects going at once, from the simple business card to the more complicated brochure. I would start with the most urgent one and not work at all with the others. Until they became urgent. Once a project becomes urgent, it’s hard to have time for the back and forth with the clients and sending the faxed proofs for them to look over. I was completely stressed. I felt always under pressure. Early on it became clear that I couldn’t procrastinate on projects and I had to find a better way to do them. I set up a folder system. I began the projects within a day of getting them. I found a way to track the projects. Though the pace was still fast, I didn’t feel the overwhelm that I used to. I found I had more time to complete my projects well. Monday I start my very first Pleasant Projects course. If you are having trouble with procrastination and tracking projects, I’d love to help.
