Combat avoidance and procrastination - Deepstash

Combat avoidance and procrastination

  • Use project to-do lists to outline every step involved in a particular project.
  • Shrink relatively unimportant tasks to the bare minimum required for getting them done. 
  • Try “last things first.” Sometimes the typical final steps in a task are easier to start with than the typical first steps.
  • Pretend you’re going to outsource a task and write the instructions you’d give someone else.
