SELF PACING vs SLACKING
how can you tell when you’re on either side?
The simple answer: Self pacing involves a deliberate, self regulation wherein tasks are aligned with personal capacity and goals. Meanwhile slacking basically implies procrastination, avoidance or a general lack of effort.
But simple is never really the answer and the line between both concepts is very blurry especially when working on a long term project. You might start off on your own pace and end up slacking.
To understand why people slack, we must first understand the essence of self pacing.
- it honors autonomy which is a basic psychological need. Everyone loves having a certain level of control in whatever they’re involved in.
- it recognizes limitations and strategically distributes efforts and skill. Focusing on sustainability rather than impressions.
- it allows for finding a balance between capability and tasks faced.
- it promotes personal goal setting and growth.
Whether fast or slow, accomplishing goals takes time.
