how to avoid doing things in last minute?

well, I think I always start doing things I have to do in last minute. a lot of times, becuase of this, I missed the best timing or had barely enough time to complete my task, but still, I keep starting the things have to be done very late.

also, I think I know where my prob is. I am kinda completist, I am really afraid of making mistake, and I would take long time to badly regret what I ve done wrong. I think this indeed terrified me to start sth up which could be

  1. things I did wrong before, so this will remind me the bad experience I had before. I became dislike the task very much, despite the task is easy to do.
  2. things in which I see a risk to mess up, so I refused to bear the risk of bring bad consequence to me by not doing it. clearly, I know I have to finish them, but still, I alway escape from worry by doing sth else which can not help me out and run out my time.

I just made similar mistake yesterday, I feel depressed now, well, I think after describing the whole thing, I am bit of better off. it’s good to have some place to tell sth annoying me.

It’s not fun, but, the “fifo” acronymis helpful in this case. First in, first out. Meaning as soon as you have a new obligation, you tackle it, without hesitation. Then once you’re done, you’re onto the next, newest one…this works great for routine things like household chores. Rather than waiting till end of day, you get them done before you have “fun” or spend time on hobbies, which ensures that you’re always on track for things, even if “life” gets in the way of the rest of your planned activities.
