It took me 5 years to beat procrastination.
I'll tell you how to in 2 minutes:
I'll tell you how to in 2 minutes:
1. Plan Your Tomorrow Today
Most people wake up and think about "what should I do today".
That's why they procrastinate.
Take 10-15 minutes at the end of each day to plan 2-3 most important tasks for tomorrow.
The next morning, you'll know what to work on without thinking.

2. Remove Distractions
Turn off all notifications on your phone and computer.
Block all social media websites on your browser with Block & Focus chrome extension.
Use noise-canceling earbuds.
Don't have food near to you.
Get rid of any other potential distractions.

3. Break Your Days Into Mini-Days
I use 3 "mini-days" that are 3 hours long each.
1) 6am-9am
2) 9am-12pm
3) 12pm - 3pm
Imagine if you had 1095 days in a year...instead of only 365

4. Work In 25-Minute Sprints
Use Pomodoro to execute your tasks.
Every hour of my mini-day has 2 Pomodoro sessions:
25 minutes - Work on one task
5 minutes - quick break
25 minutes - Work on one task
5 minutes - quick break
= total of 60 minutes.

5. No Multitasking
Focus on ONE task for each 25-minute sprint.
Break it into actionable steps.
And don't do anything else.
When you complete it, move to the next.
People who switch between tasks suck at productivity.

6. Make Not-To-Do List
Write down all the things that waste your time and energy.
- Watching YouTube videos
- Checking phone in the morning
- Consistently checking email
- Eating at a desk
Use it to remind yourself of what you are committed to not doing during the day.
