Time Management Tips 7 Ways To Beat Procrastination

Just like quitting a bad habit, trying to beat the procrastinating behaviour is not easy

, but the rewards are enormous. You will find yourself a completely different person, with more energy and time to do things that you never thought possible. Of course, there is no miracle cures here, just simple and effective advice on how to get the job done once and for all.

1. Focus on the end result. In other words, know what it is that you need to or want to achieve. Use this as the motivation (i.e. what you hope to gain from it) for sticking with and finishing the task, rather than doing simply for the sake of completing the task.

2. Remind yourself of the consequences for delaying the task. It is seldom worthwhile or to do something tomorrow if it can be done today.

3. Do the same type of work at the same time to build up a habit or routine, and it will help increase the efficiency of your work as well.

4. Never lose sight of the big picture when you are getting caught up in small details. The small details are what the big picture is made of.

5. Remember to give yourself a reward for completing the task on-time. Nothing like positive reinforcement to help keep up the good work.

6. If you find it hard to keep on track by yourself, gets someone else to hold you accountable for achieving the result. Responsibilities and expectations can be used to good effect in getting work done.

7. Dont get yourself stuck in a rut. If you are not making progress, or feeling a bit lost, all you have to do is ask for help. Others will appreciate that you are not leaving all the problems until the end. In many cases the hardest part is just getting started. So why not just do a little bit to begin with, say 10 minutes or so. At least then you can justify giving yourself a breather from the task, and bit by bit, the task will become smaller and smaller, until you find that it is all DONE
