Procrastination is often due to the lack of motivation to complete the project. 

Offer yourself a reward for working on the project consistently or for when you finish the project.

Set deadlines that are realistic so that you do not feel pressured to rush. Rushing is not a good way to accomplish any task successfully.

... can leave you stressed out beyond your max.  

Create achievable deadlines. If you've got too many deadlines, either choose a different deadline for some tasks or see if you can delegate them.

If your deadline is set too far in the future, you might not really find the motivation to work consistently on meeting that deadline. 

Instead, break that deadline down into smaller tasks. 

Take your project and break it into smaller steps. Mark each deadline until the final project is done. 

Tacking projects in bite-size bits is much more attainable and keeps your momentum going.

Sometimes we set an unmanageable deadline on something that really just needs time and some consistency. For example, trying to lose 20 pounds in a month might not be feasible.

Take a few days to consider what you want to accomplish within your deadline.  

You may forget something important if you just rush into setting that deadline. 

If you set the same deadlines that worked for others, you could be setting yourself up for failure. 

Be confident that you can set your own deadlines that will work for you.
