The root of procrastination for most people ain't laziness, it's anxiety.
I know your anxiety will tell you the worst case scenario. It’s a damn liar.
If you're a procrastinator, you will find every excuse not to do what u need to do. But here's an advice: DO IT FIRST, I call it "reverse procrastination".
Fill your heart & mind with positive things.
Music helps alot. stand up, put on your favorite songs and watch how you get the job done fast.
Don't let procrastination take over your life. Be brave and take risks, your life is happening now.
It might feel like fun but trust me procrastination is the enemy of success.
The best way to get something done is to begin.

You can also set a timer on your phone for 15 minutes and commit to doing your task until it goes off, usually just starting will give you momentum
2. Comparison
Comparison can truly ruin your life. Even when you experience positive things, the victories will be hollow.
There will always be other people with “better” circumstances than you.
Remind yourself that we are all human. No one is perfect.
3. Thinking Instead of Doing
Do u spend more time thinking about doing a task than it would actually take to just do it?
If there is something you’ve been needing to do for a while do it today or schedule it in your calendar right now & stop wasting your mental energy on it.
In life, so many things are gonna happen to you that will be totally out of your control.
But what you can always control is your reaction to those situations.
Focus on that, and you will be good to go.
2. You control how you respond to things.
Victor Frankl also said, "Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom."
That sums it up.
3. Ask yourself, “Is this essential?”
As the popular notion goes, if it doesn't matter in 5 years, don't spend more than 5min being upset about it.
You only have limited time, so it's important for you to determine what actually is crucial for you in life.
