1. Discover Your Response

Recognize your excuses.

How do you succeed in dissuading yourself?

Know and recognize the strategies
that can prevent you from making these excuses.
2. Set A Limit

Set a time limit for each task or goal you have to accomplish.
3. Imagine Your Future Self

Picture how wonderful it will be to have completed the task.

It keeps you away from the instant gratification of wanting to differ.
4. Break Your Work into Little Steps

Part of the reason why we procrastinate is that subconsciously,

we find the work too overwhelming for us.

Break it down into little parts,

then focus on one part at a time.
5. Avoid Distractions

Keep away from things that have the power to distract you from the task,

or goal you have in mind.
6. Definite Plan

Set a specific time to begin
and a chunky goal to achieve.

Plan weekly, but tasks are done daily!
7. Be Compassionate

Take away any negative actions and utterances that are counterproductive.

Forget the failures and past tense.

Focus on the task ahead.
8. Learn to Tolerate Some Initial Discomfort

Instead of fleeing from uncomfortable feelings, sit with them for a bit.

Anything unpleasant you’re feeling initially ain the first of your action,
is temporary and dissipates.
9. Hang out with People Who Inspire You to Take Action

Identify the people, who trigger you

– most likely the go-getters and hard workers –

and hang out with them more often.

Soon you will inculcate their drive and spirit too.
10. Stop over-complicating Things

Are you waiting for a perfect time to do this?

Ditch that thought because there’s never a perfect time.

If you keep waiting for one,

you are never going to accomplish anything.
11. Write Out The Cost Of Procrastination

Rationalizing helps you activate your expectations,

which counters the emotional power to postpone tasks.
12. START

Motivation follows actions.

A- Piece at a time throws you back into action and keeps plunging you until you are done.

Follow this step, it is helpful.
Conclusion:

Procrastination is a time killer,

don’t get comfortable with it.

Rather, choose to beat it each day and be the best of yourself.
