... then put it on the calendar. Treat the deadline the same as if your boss created it, and then honor it the same way you would if your boss were waiting for you to complete the task.

Give Yourself A Hard Deadline

Notice your thoughts, feelings, behaviors and the situation when you feel like procrastinating. Write these down. Once you understand your pattern, you can hold yourself accountable in a positive and self-compassionate way.

Understand The Underlying Reasons

Schedule non-working time into your day so that you allow time for cleaning your desk, taking a walk or whatever else it is that keeps you from your work. Having this time blocked in your calendar may eliminate the guilt associated with procrastination. A refreshed mind is a productive mind.

Schedule 'Procrastination Time' 

Set an intention and then shut off tempting interruptions. Remember, this is just another muscle you build so just set the scene to make focusing possible.

To be accountable to another person helps us personally and professionally. Accountability implies commitment, that you not only let yourself down but that partner. Find that partner who will help you overcome procrastination.

Get An Accountability Partner 

For whatever your past experience has been, refocus on doing 5% more toward your goal and give yourself permission to be human at the same time.

Be Kind To Yourself 

Make a list of things you need to do and do the one you don't want to do first. Then give yourself a little reward for doing it (a piece of candy, a few minutes on social media, etc). Then do something on your list that you want to do and continue alternating from there.

Give Yourself A Reward 

When you don't feel motivated, take the smallest step possible toward your goal. Instead of telling yourself to workout for an hour, say you'll go for 10 minutes. Taking a step bypasses that part of your brain that is alerted when you're trying to make a change.

Take The Smallest Step Possible 

Focus on what the reward is when you take action.Be very selective about what you let into your experience and surround yourself with to keep your energy as clean as possible to achieve the goals you want.

Positive Outcomes From Your Action 

A daily non-negotiable is something you commit to doing every single day no matter what. It is something you don't have to think about because you have already committed to doing it.

Set A Few Daily Non-Negotiables 

From time to time, even the most conscientious and productive professionals procrastinate. For some, pushing off a deadline is a rare and anxiety-inducing situation; other people thrive best under the pressure of waiting until the eleventh hour.
