Procrastinating "is the biggest waste of life," the Stoic philosopher Seneca wrote. "It snatches away each day...and denies us the present by promising the future."

Want to stop wasting your life?

Here are 8 Stoic tactics to beat procrastination:
1. Take it action by action

"Don’t let your imagination be crushed by life as a whole," Marcus Aurelius wrote. Remember, he adds, everything is built action by action. Zeno, the founder of Stoicism, said, “Well-being is realized by small steps, but is truly no small thing.”
2. Create a routine

“Life without a design is erratic,” Seneca wrote, and full of uncertainty. Procrastination feeds on uncertainty. Routine eliminates that uncertainty. We know what we do & when we do it. Procrastination is boxed out—by the order & clarity you built.

These Are 11 Things Stoics DON'T Do:
1. Don't suffer imagined troubles

Seneca said, "we suffer more in imagination than in reality."

“Don’t let your imagination be crushed by life as a whole,” Marcus Aurelius reminded himself.

Focus on the present. Don't think about the monsters that may or may not be up ahead.
2. Don't always have an opinion

It’s possible, Marcus Aurelius said, to not have an opinion. He said that not everything is asking to be judged by you.

Remember: “You always own the option of having no opinion.”

For Marcus Aurelius, becoming powerful was not a measure of success. Neither was defeating invading tribes, or even becoming a philosophical genius.

To him, the criteria for success was simple: good character. Here are 4 ways the Stoics built undefeatable character:
1/ Courage

The world wants to know what category to put you in, which is why it sends difficult situations your way. Am you going to face this problem or run away from it? Will you stand up or be rolled over?
2/ Discipline

If you want to know why things are the way they are in your life right now…look to your level of discipline. It got you here, for better or worse. If you want to know how things are going to go for you in the future…your discipline will take you there.
