Procrastination

So now what? How do you fix this and stop procrastinating?

1. Identify why you're procrastinating.
2. Make a to-do list. Avoid overscheduling. No matter how much energy you have you will not ever be able to be two places at once, be realistic about this.
3. Timers can be your best friend when it comes to procrastination. Play “Beat The Clock". Set a timer for 15 minutes and guess what you can get done in this amount of time and see if you can beat your guesstimate.
4. Give yourself permission to not be perfect. Having something done with a mistake is better than not doing it at all.
5. Find a way to make it fun. Try bundling the task with something fun for example only eat your favorite candy while doing your math. Or try giving yourself a fun reward when the assignment is finished.
6. Set personal deadlines then announce them publicly, ask someone close to you to hold you accountable.
7. Change your mindset. Instead of trying to see how little of work you can do, see how good of job you can do.
8. Break down big projects into smaller more manageable tasks. Try to do the “worst things" first while you have the most energy, get them out of the way.
9. Ask for help. If the project is simply too big or you don't know how to do it, find someone who can help.
10. Inspire yourself to greatness. Figure out how the things on your to-do list make a difference in your future goals or how they help others.
