The best solution to this problem is to take time to understand every detail of the task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out how to fully examine the task at hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-make-sure-you-fully-understand-the-task-at-hand\"><strong>Make Sure You Fully Understand the Task at Hand<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When we\u2019re undecided as to how we should approach a task, unsure of what the final outcome should be, or unclear about the ultimate purpose of the task, we find it difficult to make progress. Even a lack of urgency about the project can undermine our ability to get to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One solution to inadequately understanding the task on your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/gtd-to-do-list\/\">to-do list<\/a> is to <strong>take the time to examine the specifics of the task<\/strong>. Meurisse writes that when you don\u2019t fully understand what you need to do, why the task is important, or how you can best approach it, it\u2019s worthwhile to sit down and figure out the answers to those questions. You might make your goal more specific and measurable, ask yourself why it\u2019s important to complete the task, or even ask someone else how they would tackle the task.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Other experts agree with Meurisse\u2019s advice to go back to the drawing board when you\u2019re procrastinating and unclear on what you need to do. Cal Newport, author of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/deep-work\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Deep Work<\/em><\/a>, explains that since procrastination is an <a href=\"https:\/\/calnewport.com\/the-procrastinating-caveman-what-human-evolution-teaches-us-about-why-we-put-off-work-and-how-to-stop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">evolutionary adaptation<\/a>, you can assume that you\u2019re postponing a task because your brain thinks your plan isn\u2019t sound. Newport writes that that means you have to confront procrastination by coming up with a stronger, more certain plan\u2014one that your brain can get on board with. There are many ways you can do that, but one you might try is following <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/smarter-faster-better\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Smarter Faster Better<\/em><\/a><em> <\/em>author Charles Duhigg\u2019s advice to set <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/smarter-faster-better\/chapter-3#smart-goals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">goals that are \u201cSMART<\/a>\u201d: specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, says Meurisse, if you fully understand what you need to do, then you might need to <strong>heighten the urgency of the task<\/strong>. Reflecting on how you can make the task feel more important and more urgent can help you get started on it. For example, you might think about the colleagues who need your report before they can move forward with a project, or envision all of the people who will read a blog post that you\u2019re supposed to be writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Developing a sense of urgency about a task you don\u2019t want to complete can feel like a challenge. But Brian Tracy writes that it\u2019s a key part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.briantracy.com\/blog\/personal-success\/develop-a-sense-of-urgency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">developing an \u201caction orientation,\u201d<\/a> a mindset that will help you get important tasks done efficiently. He explains that you can think of urgency as a sense of racing against yourself to get something finished. When you truly feel that a task is urgent, you\u2019ll feel almost impatient to get to work on it. Then you can not only spring into action, but you may even be able to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/flow-experience\/\">experience flow<\/a>, the state that psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi says helps you feel present and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/flow\/1-page-summary#flow-a-clue-toward-happiness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">purposeful in your work<\/a>.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you have a big project you&#8217;re afraid of completing?
