Procrastination knockout punch - Deepstash

Procrastination knockout punch

  1. Manage your mood throughout the day. Do the little things that keep you positive. Get enough sleep. Eat regularly. Take breaks.
  2. Make your list of to-dos with the terrifying stuff at the top and the easier stuff at the bottom.
  3. Do a one minute dash and write out the steps needed to beat the first problem. 
  4. Still too difficult? Use positive procrastination and do one of the things lower on this list, rather than #1.
  5. Establish your commitment device. Hand your friend that money.
