Updated: Dec 26, 2022


A perfect mood for procrastination

Here are 10 tips for avoiding procrastination:

  1. Set clear goals and priorities. Make a list of what you need to do and prioritize tasks based on their importance and deadline.

  2. Break tasks into smaller, more manageable chunks. This can make a daunting task feel more manageable and make it easier to get started.

  3. Create a schedule and stick to it. Set aside specific times for tasks and try to work on them during those times.

  4. Eliminate distractions. Switch off your phone, turn on DND, and find a quiet place to work.

  5. Use a timer. Set a timer for a specific amount of time and work on a task until the timer goes off. Then take a short break before starting the next task.

  6. Find accountability. Share your goals and progress with a friend or accountability partner.

  7. Remove temptations. If you know you’re prone to procrastinating on a particular task, remove any temptations that might distract you from it.

  8. Use positive reinforcement. Reward yourself for completing tasks or making progress.

  9. Seek help if you need it. If you’re struggling with a task, don’t be afraid to ask for help or clarification.

  10. Be kind to yourself. Don’t beat yourself up if you do procrastinate. Instead, recognize it as a common human tendency and try to learn from the experience.

  11. Get started as soon as possible. The longer you wait to start a task, the more daunting it can seem. Try to begin work on tasks as soon as you can to avoid getting overwhelmed.

  12. Change your environment. Sometimes, simply changing your surroundings can help you stay focused and avoid procrastination. If you're struggling to get started on a task, try working in a different location or setting up your work space in a different way.
