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

Try Temptation Bundling

1. Fear of failure- failure is not final. 2. Perfectionism- 95% is not good as 100%. But its lot better than zero3. Fear of wrong choice-any decision is better than no decision. 4. Boring task- delegate, if can't delegate make it a fun activity, set a time to complete.  There are many causes of procrastination. Unfortunately, there's still a tendency to associate procrastination with laziness and mental weakness.

Why we procrastinate? 

1. Eat the frog- take up the difficult task first. 	2. Focus on first 10 min to gain momentum- like start making first slide you will continue with it. 	3. Start task when you know you'll have energy for them- morning person or active during night.

How to get started

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.

Recruit others to help you fight procrastination.

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.

Stream your to-do list

1. everyone makes mistakes2. nobody's perfect.3. surround yourself with positive people

Become your own cheerful leader

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?

Recognise Negative self talk 

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.

Set time limit for each task

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