Why is asking questions important? How does confusion cause procrastination?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, you procrastinate when you aren’t sure what to do\u2014or, more often, you aren\u2019t sure how to do it. Thankfully, the solution is equally straightforward: Usually, a few simple questions will clear up any confusion so that you can proceed confidently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask Questions to Defeat Procrastination<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you don’t ask questions to gain clarity on a task, you’re less likely to get it done because you don’t want to fail. That’s why asking questions is important<\/a>: Not only are you gaining more knowledge, but you’re gaining enough confidence to openly admit you don’t know how to do something. There are some questions you should ask so you can move forward with your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first rule for how to deal with procrastination is to ask some clarifying questions about what <\/em>you\u2019re supposed to do. What exactly is this task? What, specifically, are you trying to accomplish?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that said, the more common cause of confusion is how to approach that task. Ali Abdaal\u2019s solution is not to simply ask how a task should be done, but rather to ask why <\/em>you\u2019re doing it. Knowing the larger goal behind a task will often help you figure out the best way to approach it. <\/strong>In other words, the answer to why <\/em>will lead to the how. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, if your task is to get a sales report ready, it would be helpful to know whether you\u2019re preparing it for someone else in the company\u2014someone who already knows the company\u2019s procedures, expectations, and jargon\u2014or for someone external like a potential investor, who will need some background information. The principle is equally applicable to personal tasks. Say your current task is to clean your house<\/a>; are you doing that just to make your home more pleasant for yourself, or because you\u2019re hosting a party<\/a> and therefore you need the entire house to be spotless?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: As well as helping you clear up your confusion (and therefore overcome procrastination<\/a>), Abdaal\u2019s suggestion to ask for background information and then find your own solutions supports the second source of good feelings: empowerment. <\/em>In fact, it closely resembles a business strategy that former Netflix CEO Reed Hastings describes in No Rules Rules<\/em><\/a>. Hastings credits Netflix\u2019s success to its culture of empowerment<\/a>, which encouraged everyone from entry-level employees to Hastings himself to make their own decisions. One key part of this culture was providing employees with information<\/a> so they could make the best decisions possible\u2014as Abdaal would say, Netflix made sure its employees understood the why<\/em>, <\/em>and encouraged them to figure out how <\/em>for themselves.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, Abdaal says that if you don\u2019t clarify <\/strong>when <\/em><\/strong>to do something, you\u2019ll put it off until the last minute (if there\u2019s a deadline) or won\u2019t do it at all (if there\u2019s no deadline). <\/strong>For example, if you have a report due at the end of the work week and you don\u2019t give yourself a specific time to do it, you\u2019ll find yourself scrambling to finish that report on Friday. To give another example, if you\u2019re planning to call a family member but don\u2019t set aside time to do so, you\u2019ll find that you never get around to making that call. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use Time Blocking<\/a> to Tackle Tasks<\/strong>

It\u2019s not always practical to set aside a specific time to do a particular task\u2014if something unforeseen comes up at that time, you could miss your chance and just end up procrastinating again. One simple solution to this problem is time blocking<\/em>: Instead of planning out exactly when you\u2019ll do each task, you create blocks of time in your schedule for certain kinds <\/em>of tasks.

In The Effective Executive<\/em><\/a>, management consultant Peter Drucker suggests breaking your schedule into blocks that are as large as possible<\/a>, four to five hours per block at least. <\/strong>While that might not be practical for individual activities (most of us don\u2019t have the time or interest to take a four-hour walk, for example), it works well for categories that you can subdivide into other tasks. For instance, if you set aside a four-hour block for family activities<\/a>, you might be able to fill that block by watching a movie with your spouse, playing some board games with your children, and finally making that phone call you\u2019ve been putting off.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
