As an adult with ADD, I am a constant procrastinator. I find that making lists the night before of things I need to do the next day is extremely helpful. I also enjoy the sense of accomplishment I feel by being able to cross things off of that list.

I just put it off until it becomes an emergency.
No really, the best way I have found is just to stick with what you are doing until it's done. If you take a break for too long, that's where you get into trouble.
Sometimes that doesn't apply, so you just need to focus on the outcome, think about how great it will be to get it done. Once it's completed you get that rush, a sense of accomplishment, get's the endorphins flowing and your ready to take on something else that you've been putting off for way too long.

I have to shut everything and everyone else out of my mind and space and force myself to do the things I usually procrastinate about. I have very little self-motivation. It also helps when my friends encourage me to get things done because they are always nice about it, never harsh.

Then carry on with it. It takes 21 days to sort a sparkling habit, so make a unsleeping determination to truly carry on with it for 3 weeks, or 4 in case you could. Then re verify the way you're doing after 4 weeks, and make any transformations which you pick. the substantial ingredient it to commence, and to adhere with it. in case you pick help, tell your pals and kinfolk, what that's you attempt to realize ( or have them write out the recurring with you) and ask them to be constructive and inspiring over the subsequent 4 weeks. as quickly as you commence , you will locate that it's going to get much less complicated, and after 4 weeks it wil start to return needless to say to you.

What helps me is writing down everything I have to do (on a calendar) and highlighting the really important things (terms papers due, exam dates, etc.) And looking at all the things highlighted sort of puts everything into perspective. I think, "Wow, look at all this stuff I have to get done this week!" And you realize the later you do it, the less time you will have to complete it.

Oh, sometimes I actually need to 'force' myself to get going in the morning. I wake up, and just want to sit around and drink coffee, etc. It takes a while before I even have enough strength to shower. So, *I need to get up a few hours earlier than I need to leave*--just to insure that I'm out of the house on time.

It is a daily decision. I have to decide each time, I will not put off till later what I can do right now. Because I'm human and that's what humans are tempted to do--put it off till later.

I try to keep lists of things I absolutely can get done, or get started on. If I can tick off my list of having made progress on something, it feels great.

I don't avoid it, I embrace it and then it becomes easier to do what will benefit me. Become your own best friend in all things.

Why are you asking this question if you're not a procrastinator?
