Procrastination: to postpone doing something, especially as a regular practice.

So you have a million things to do, but cant figure out where to start. Things just keep piling up and you tell yourself, “I’ll do it later”. Later turns into tomorrow, then tomorrow turns into next week, and so on. The next thing you know you’re so overwhelmed with things to do that you don’t get any of it done. Well needless to say you are suffering from a bad case of procrastination. The positive thing is it can be cured as long as you are willing to put in the work.

Procrastination is self defeating behavior that only holds you back from moving forward with your dreams/goals etcetera. Plus it doesn’t make you feel good and adds unwanted stress.

Here are 10 easy ways to get started on overcoming procrastination:

1. Sit down and write out a plan- Writing things down really helps them come to life.

2. Pace yourself- Take on one task at a time and if that one task is too overwhelming then split it up into smaller more manageable tasks.

3. Praise yourself- After completing each task give yourself praise or positive reinforcement to stay motivated.

4. Make time- Make appointments with yourself that you can’t break. If you have to break the appointment, because of a real emergency then reschedule immediately.

5. Ask for help- Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Having another person around may motivate you even further.

6. Take Action- You can’t get anything done sitting around get up and get started.

7. Learn to Relax- Don’t stress yourself out about unfinished projects. Learn relaxation techniques to relieve any stress or anxiety.

8. Be patient with yourself- You can’t do it all overnight.

9. Never let things pile up- Get things done as soon as they come. Letting them pile up only makes you procrastinate more, because you feel overwhelmed.

10. Have fun- Turn on some music or gather some people around to assist you this way it won’t feel like work

Practice these 10 easy steps and before you know it you’ll be well on your way to accomplishing your goals without any problems.

Good Luck!!
