Too many times I’ve sat down and thought about where I would have gotten if I hadn’t wasted as much time as I had.
And honestly, that’s a waste of time in itself. And pretty toxic.
But the good thing is that it made me sit down and think even harder. This time about how can I stop wasting time when I need to be working.
And the thinking part paid off as I found a couple of things that actually helped me gradually waste less and less time until I got used to just getting to work and concentrating, not wasting any more time.
So here’s my advice in 4 steps:
1. Learn to catch yourself in the act.
One of the biggest problems with wasting time is that you often don’t actually realize that you’re doing it until you’ve already had a big chunk of time thrown out the window.
You might take your phone in the middle of working, get distracted just for a second, and end up scrolling and scrolling on Instagram, not realizing you were doing something else for 30 minutes.
And you cannot work towards breaking a habit when you don’t realize how often and how much you’re doing it.
