![]() "We have to stay together, with the fans, because that's how we'll go far." "I am very happy for the two goals and for the fans who supported us until the end. "I have never seen an atmosphere like this in my entire life," En Nesyri told Movistar Plus. Sevilla were relentless with their high pressing and United, who led the first leg 2-0 before conceding two late goals at Old Trafford, never threatened to get back into the game amid a raucous atmosphere at a sold-out Sanchez Pizjuan stadium. It is worth reflecting on that: why do we think they will be so tricky, or that conversation will be so awkward or difficult? And what does that say about us?ĮXTERNAL LINK: An interesting article from the New York Times that also talks about this emotional aspect of procrastination.SEVILLA, Spain, April 20 (Reuters) - Europa League kings Sevilla breezed past Manchester United into the semi-finals of their favourite competition as Youssef En Nesyri scored twice in a dominant 3-0 win on Thursday that secured a 5-2 aggregate triumph.īoth En Nesyri's goals came from mistakes by United goalkeeper David de Gea while trying to play the ball with his feet and it was a listless and error-strewn performance by the English side. Most of the time, tasks are never as difficult as they appear in our wild and catastrophic day dreams. The classic ‘cure’ for procrastination is to make a start. When a company is full of committed and busy people who are 100% engaged with doing only, say, 75% of their actual job, getting things done becomes complex and we can fear that conversations will be difficult, for ourselves or for others. That’s all very well on paper, but in reality, roles tend to stray from these nice neat descriptions for all kinds of reasons. When we go to work we have a job with a role – sometimes written up as a job description, with a bunch of responsibilities and tasks. These reflections we make about colleagues and bosses are often very wide of the mark, and are often driven by our previous relationships with adults that go right back to our childhood.Īnd there is a third factor too, which can be outside of our control, and which is to do with how your working organisation is set up. In your mind, you might have created a scenario where you feel that this person may think badly of you, or will judge you in some way. You may need to call someone, or ask for their help, or speak to someone that you really don’t get along with. So making a start feels fraught with danger.Ī second and very common factor in procrastination is where a task may involve confronting some uncomfortable relationships. The fear of being, in some way, shamed, lurks in the background. If the job is not right, we may be exposed as not up to the required standard. While for some people, doing a rather slapdash job feels perfectly normal, many of us have a big complex about this (see also the article on perfectionism). The job may feel very difficult, and you are afraid that you will fail, or perform it badly. We can probably find that something quite deep within you is driving this behaviour. ![]() Your brain tells you that here is a convenient time where you can get the thing done, whereas some other part of your being is working against that. But by the end of the afternoon, you haven’t made a start. ![]() Imagine you have an afternoon available, and a task to complete. It’s worth exploring why we don’t want to do something straight away. But unless these are genuine emergencies (like a small child gluing paper stars to the cat) the distractions are more likely to be symptoms of our disconnect with work, rather than the causes of it. If we've got to work from home during the virus lockdown, then we can point to all kinds of distractions as being at the root of why we don't finish tasks. This is all fairly harmless most of the time, but sometimes it can become like a paralysis. ‘I’ll do it later!’ we tell ourselves, and then we don’t.
