Marie Kondo Your Work
You are more likely to procrastinate if you don’t have systems for completing your work. Understand basic project management skills. Track all of your daily tasks, simplify, then organize them; this gives you an orderly and measured framework to work from.

Assassinate Distractions
Murder as many distractions as you can. By limiting the number of distractions around you, you're more likely to get done what you need to do. Shut your phone off, find a quiet place and listen to classical music or beats that help you focus.

Priority Boarding
Your important tasks fly 1st class and get done 1st. Make sure you address the most critical and then the most time-sensitive task in that order. Get the hard or big stuff out of the way first so that everything that comes after it will seem more manageable.

Call Your Shots
Aim for the fence and hit home runs by setting goals. Part of the reason you procrastinate is that you don't have specific, clear goals. It's a lot easier to get started and finish when you establish simple, reachable goals rather than having big, vague ideas.

Drill Sergeant Your Tasks
Avoid procrastination by setting deadlines. Don't get stuck in the "I'll do it tomorrow" cycle; you know tomorrow never comes. Be strict, be firm, and select specific dates for when you want tasks completed. Complete your tasks before that deadline.

The Daily Vacation
Break from your regular routines. Drive home a different way, order something new for lunch. Talk to a person at work you don't know. Breaking up your routines is like taking a mental vacation, shaking off procrastination by helping you think differently.

Treat Yourself
Treat yourself when you win. Create incentives to help complete big tasks. This will help you avoid procrastination. You could book a table at fancy restaurant weeks in advance for your deadline day, but remember, you must cancel if you didn't complete your work.

The Tax Man
Hold yourself accountable for completing your work on time. Set up systems that affect you financially if you don't finish your larger tasks by the deadlines you set. Like giving $100 to a charity that goes against your belief system. Get a friend to keep you honest.
