Anusha M Virupannavar's Key Ideas from The Procrastination Cure: 21 Proven Tactics for Conquering Your Inner Procrastinator, Mastering Your Time, and Boosting Your Productivity!
by Damon Zahariades

1. Keep it short- concentrate on essential one, magical and possible number is 7 or lesser. Should not be over filled or under filled. 

2. Prioritize- scale the list and one being high priority and 5 being last priority. 

3. One thing at a time- rather than half finishing a lot of tasks complete one. 

4. Cut down unnecessary task from to-do list. 

Work expands to fill the time available for its completion.” If it takes you three hours to write a report, but you give yourself eight hours, it will take eight hours to write.

Procrastination is a battle between your present self and your future self. Your present self is all about immediate gratification.

1. work in a dedicated workspace.

2. Invest in a white noise machine or a pair of quality headphones to block out noise.

3. Put off internet or on the aeroplane mode or install internet blocker apps. 

1. If you make yourself accountable to someone else, you're far more likely to achieve your goals.Ask them to check in on your progress from time to time.

2. Don't set your own deadlines. We rarely respect self-imposed deadlines because we don't feel too bad about breaking promises we've made to ourselves. But we do respect promises we make to others. 

Do you blame yourself when something goes wrong? 

Do you attribute perfectly understandable mistakes to your own laziness and ineptitude? 

Do you expect to fail at a task before you've even started it?

1. everyone makes mistakes

2. nobody's perfect.

3. surround yourself with positive people

you love reading novels but hate going to the gym- only let yourself dip into a good book after you've done your workout.
