How to stop procrastination?
- Identify what causes you to procrastinate
- Once you have identified WHY you procrastinate, don't think too much about it. This will cause you to regret and waste your present time and the cycle goes on.
- Use the 2-minute rule - If you feel the task can be completed within 2 minutes do it right now. If the task is longer just do it for 5 minutes. (basically, just start)
- Set goals and deadlines
- Avoid distractions
- Make the task easier and more attractive
- Reward yourself
