Answer 1

I have the same problem! What has helped me is that I write a checklist . Everything that I need to get done it is on paper. Then enjoy crossing it off when it is done. It is that simple. I like to do this with household chores too. It makes it easier to accomplish stuff that I rather wait on doing, but needs to be done.

Get off Yahoo Answers! Ha. I don't know who I am to give advice on this one. I'll tell you what I tell myself, but it doesn't work. Time management, budgeting time for tasks, writing lists, and prioritizing. Plan each hour and a half at a time. Take a small break and get right back to it. There is never enough time in the day. Just keep swimming. Don't let the guilt get to you. Do better now. Not tomorrow.

I hope this helps you. I try to get better every year.

Answer 3

The best way is "just do it as soon as you think about it!" Try putting "procrastination" and "overcoming procrastination" into Yahoo web search for more info on it. I think there is nothing wrong with procrastination. It is a great way to gain a feeling "you have something better to do" if you haven't much important to do or can't stop doing something.

Good luck at doing things, good health, peace and love!

Mind over matter. Prioritize what you need to do first and ACTUALLY DO IT! Good luck!
