Procrastination -Tips to Stop Procrastination

If you find your always start something but can never seem to finish, or you tend to put things off what you know you can and should be doing, then you are probably a procrastinator.

Lack of focus can be a reason for procrastination as is lack of good time management and organizational skills. 

So what can be done to help improve and stop procrastination.
  1. Start using a 'to do' list - put all your tasks down on paper or electronically.  Whatever you find easy to use.
  2.  Prioritise your tasks.  Are the tasks listed really necessary, can you delegate? What is urgent to be done now, and what can be done later
  3. Put a timescale against your to do lists and priorities . Make it realistic and try to stick to them
  4. Focus on completing one thing at a time,and try not to start several tasks at once leaving them part way through.  It's much easier working on one thing at a time.  
  5. Sometimes you have just got to do the horrible tasks first.  Don't think about it, just do it..
If you follow the above,this will help to cut down on procrastination and you get a great sense of satisfaction when you complete each task.
